Credential Networks: a General Model for Distributed Trust and Authenticity Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
In large open networks, handling trust and authenticity adequately is an important prerequisite for security. In a distributed approach, all network users are allowed to issue various types of credentials, e.g. certificates, recommendations, revocations, ratings, etc. This paper proposes such a distributed approach, in which the evaluation of trust and authenticity is based on so-called credential networks. The corresponding formal model includes many existing trust models as special cases.1

Implementing Credential Networks
Credential networks have recently been introduced as a general model for distributed authenticity and trust management in open networks. This paper focuses on issues related to the implementation of credential networks. It presents a system called Caution, which consists of a simple language to define credential networks and an underlying machinery to perform the evaluation. The paper also desc...
متن کاملDisTriB: Distributed Trust Management Model Based on Gossip Learning and Bayesian Networks in Collaborative Computing Systems
The interactions among peers in Peer-to-Peer systems as a distributed collaborative system are based on asynchronous and unreliable communications. Trust is an essential and facilitating component in these interactions specially in such uncertain environments. Various attacks are possible due to large-scale nature and openness of these systems that affects the trust. Peers has not enough inform...

متن کاملA Role Based Trust Model for Peer to Peer Systems Using Credential Trees
This paper deals with a Role based Trust (RT) model for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. P2P networks are essentially decentralized in nature to enhance resource sharing and collaboration. The anonymous and open nature of P2P systems offers an almost ideal environment for unauthorized access of digital content and also for easy distribution of malware. Today’s popular P2P systems have to challenge ...
