This paper concerns reputation and trust computation in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Various survey and implemented work has been studied and analyzed to form a new survey on trust model to VANET. In this survey it is observed that there are lot of new techniques are possible to form a new trust model in VANET to provide better security with trust concern over the entire environment of t...

ing away from the low level implementation problems (like network failures), thefirst threat above can result from two different situations: (a) the User Client application maybe compromised and (b) the Mode Register becomes compromised and returns the wrongmodes for the credential atoms. The situation in which the User Client application is com-promised (a) is less interesting ...

I nternet applications have evolved from centralized and private computing platforms to distributed and collaborative networked computing systems. Collaboration is a fundamental Internet computing capability, and collaborative computing represents a significant step toward the continued promotion of openness and social intelligence as Internet systems and applications evolve. However, trust and...

This paper presents a mathematical framework for expressing trust management systems. The framework makes it easier to understand existing systems and to compare them to one another, as well as to design new systems. The framework defines the semantics of a trust management engine via a least fixpoint in a lattice, which, in some situations, leads to an efficient implementation. To demonstrate ...

The process of defining and understanding knowledge is directly concerned with creating, storing and sharing the knowledge at various levels within the organization. With a strong and established theoretical base on the theory of knowledge, this paper presents a model that describes and interconnects knowledge processes to reflect the production and revenue of an organization. The model leads t...

We present soundness and completeness theorems for our earlier work on modeling trust management systems. We then investigate the addition of distributed structured naming to the model, and prove that naming and authorization are orthogonal in a precise sense. The orthogonality theorem gives us soundness and completeness theorems for the entire system, in effect yielding a clean decomposition b...

We highlight the focuses of attention within the trust management literature, and reviewed various accounts of situationaware trust judgment in [7]. In [4] we propose a hierarchical Bayesian reputation algorithm for trust management and a method based on maximum likelihood estimation to bootstrap trust with unfamiliar agents based on stereotypes and context information. We give a more comprehen...
