The use of RFID technology in complex and distributed environments often leads to a multi-domain RFID system, in which trust establishment among entities from heterogeneous domains without past interaction or prior agreed policy, is a challenge. The current trust management mechanisms in the literature do not meet the specific requirements in multi-domain RFID systems. Therefore, this paper ana...

Trust plays a vital role in human life. It is the key to the door of other people’s minds. It cannot be judge easily. The user may trust on an insecure channel for communication of sensitive information which may get leaked. In multimedia the authentication and authorization is related with Trust management. Applications where a more dynamic trust management is advantageous may have a quickly v...

This paper introduces xTrust, a general purpose security framework that supports a wide range of applications and security mechanisms in a way that makes trust highly visible. It provides basic services for identifying paths between peers that are trusted for specific purposes, and for utilizing those paths for the trustworthy exchange of information. The design of the system is based on four g...

since last decades, there has been a growing interest in the human/social dimensions of natural resources governance especially the structure of social networks in achieving to successful co-management of natural resources. network analysis as a suitable tool in optimum planning of the “network management” of rangeland in regional scale, can improve inter-organizational decision-making and coor...

The concept of trust has been studied significantly by researchers in philosophy, psychology and sociology; research in these fields show that trust is a subjective view that varies greatly among people, situations and environments. This very subjective characteristic of trust however, has been largely overlooked within trust management used in the online social network (OSN) scenario. To date,...

Trust mechanism always has two popular architectures: centralized fashion and distributed fashion. However, those two architectures are not well suited for multi-agent system since they cannot achieve the trust management autonomy. To achieve the trust management autonomy, the paper presents an autonomous trust construction model based on graph theory methodology. The presented model adopts the...

Providing a trustworthy mobile computing platform is crucial for mobile communications, services and applications. In this dissertation, we study methodologies and mechanisms that can be used to provide a trustworthy mobile computing platform. We also present an autonomic trust management solution for a component software middleware platform targeting at an embedded device, such as a mobile pho...
