Secure and trusted distribution of multimedia content is a key issue for content creators, content providers and distributors, as they want to fight piracy and receive the revenues derived from their creativity work. The provision of trust and protection has not been already solved by the existing multimedia distribution mechanisms. Such mechanisms lie on proprietary architectures and tools, an...

The distribution of virtual goods like multimedia data relies on the trustworthiness of the distribution system. Recent concepts for the distribution based on peer to peer networks like BitTorrent require new approaches to establish the needed level of trust in the overall functionality of the system. This paper explores the integration of hardware based trust concepts from the domain of Truste...

Trust is a useful model for the interactions of Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) in Vehicular Cyber-Physical System (VCPS). Given a dynamic nature in transportation, traditional static trust models cannot effectively create the trust relationship among moving vehicles, and cannot handle quickly and dynamically the frequent vehicular interactions in a network topology. A novel trust model of VAN...

Recommender Systems require specific datasets to evaluate their approach. They do not require the same information: descriptions of users or items or users interactions may be necessary, which is not gathered in today datasets. In this paper, we provide a dataset containing reviews from users on items, trust values between users, items category, categories hierarchy and users expertise on categ...

Many network services need to make \trust management" decisions; in particular, processing users' requests for action often requires using labels and credentials that may not be authentic or trustworthy. In this paper, we address the problem of trust management in information labeling. The Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS), proposed by Resnick and Miller 13], establishes a exible w...

Can audio-visual recordings be accepted as reliable and trustworthy evidence? This problem, confronting many sectors of society, has become urgent as emerging digital editing tools make us increasingly vulnerable to forgeries. The conventional wisdom that “a photo is fact” is no longer valid and digital audio-visual content can nowadays be modified and simulated with unprecedented realism. Ther...

In this paper we improve trust, bias and factuality classification over Web data on the domain level. Unlike the majority of literature in this area that aims at extracting opinion and handling short text on the micro level, we aim to aid a researcher or an archivist in obtaining a large collection that, on the high level, originates from unbiased and trustworthy sources. Our method generates f...

The overall aim of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of antenatal care by disclosing aspects of topics, meanings and the participants' ways of relating in midwifery consultations in a Swedish primary care setting. To accomplish this video recordings were made of five antenatal midwives' consecutive consultations with one expectant/new mother/father from the initial 'booking' in earl...

Digital signatures provide a mechanism for guaranteeing integrity and authenticity of Web content but not more general notions of security or trust. Web-aware applications must permit users to state clearly their own security policies and, of course, must provide the cryptographic tools for manipulating digital signatures. This paper describes the REFEREE trust management system for Web applica...
