Trust Management for Selecting Trustworthy Access Points
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both free and low-priced mobile wireless networks are expanding and its users are more numerous every day. This success is particularly due to the mobility offered to users. These networks have promoted and widespread the success and availability of mobile devices and their access technologies such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX and Bluetooth. Nevertheless, despite of their wide success, the problem is that those technologies do not match the everyday privacy and security requirements expected by the users. In this paper we focus on the Wi-Fi technology and we propose a reputation system that assesses the trust level of a WiFi Access Point (AP). We obtain this trust level according to users past experiences. We have validated our proposed solution through simulation using the dynamic simulation tool AnyLogic and comparing the results of our solution to those of two previous well-known trust metrics: EigenTrust and Salem metrics.

A Methodology to Predict and Select Control Modes for a Trustworthy Platform
Trust has been recognized as an important factor for a component software platform. Inside the platform, trust can be controlled according to its evaluation result. Special control modes can be applied into the software platform in order to ensure a trustworthy system. In this paper, we present a methodology for trust control mode prediction and selection in order to support autonomic platform ...
متن کاملSecurity and Trust Issues in Semantic Grids
Grid computing allows sharing of services and resources accross institutions. However, current Grid security mechanisms for authentication and authorization are too rigid and they lack the ability to determine how “trustworthy” the result obtained from a specific provider is likely to be. This paper describes the different facets associated to Trust and identifies the need for Trust Management ...
متن کاملA new trust-region algorithm based on radial basis function interpolation
Optimization using radial basis functions as an interpolation tool in trust-region (ORBIT), is a derivative-free framework based on fully linear models to solve unconstrained local optimization, especially when the function evaluations are computationally expensive. This algorithm stores the interpolation points and function values to using at subsequent iterations. Despite the comparatively ad...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) promise a new advance in distributed computing. In MAS autonomous software agents flexibly cooperate, coordinate and compete to provide the desired function(s) of such a system. If some components of a MAS fail or do not provide the desired functionality, the system is expected to autonomously deal with this situation. It is desirable to reduce occurrences of such situ...
متن کاملTrust Assessment Using Cloud Broker
Despite the advantages and rapid growth of Cloud computing, the cloud environments are still not sufficiently trustworthy from a customer’s perspective. Several challenges such as specification of service level agreements, standards, security measures, selection of service providers and computation of trust still persists, that concerns the customer. To deal with these challenges and provide a ...
