All security services rely to a great extent on some notion of trust. However, even today, there is no accepted formalism or technique for the specification of trust and for reasoning about trust. Secure systems have been developed under the premise that concepts like “trusted” or “trustworthy” are well understood, unfortunately without even agreeing to what “trust” means, how to measure it, ho...

All trust management systems must take into account the possibility of error: of misplaced trust. Therefore, regardless of whether it uses reputation or not, is centralized or distributed, a trust management system must be evaluated with consideration for the consequences of misplaced or abused trust. Thus, the issue of fairness has always been implicitly considered in the design and evaluation...

Identification of the mobile ad hoc network node in a secure, reliable communication is a very important factor. It will be a node in the service of reconciliation and node behaviour leads to uncertainty. It is always challenge to manage node security and resource due to the complexity of high mobility and resource constraints. Trust based security provides light-weight security computing for i...

In this white paper, we will discuss the issue of data trust in hydrology, how data trust arises as a central theme in modeling hydrological objects, and what one can do to enable research by building trustcentered infrastructure. We will discuss how trust and distrust arise in practice. We will suggest a radical strategy for managing digital research data that solves perceived problems in hydr...

Researchers have done much around how to measure trust degrees or levels by local and global style in a given distributed network. However, how to infer trust degree for a strange node efficiently in a large-scale distributed environment was little done. This paper focuses on this problem, and proposes a novel trust model based on balance theory and probability theory. We firstly design a simpl...
