Abstract:

A trust model and implement it associated to an authentication protocol. The aim is to introduce an intermediate phase that evaluates the trustworthiness of communicating entities before the phase of service provision. Our scheme will preserve and protect user privacy since it will use non-sensitive information in the evaluation process of the trust. What makes trust evaluation models really needed in smart environments is that they create a secure yet more flexible environments that what security policies alone cannot do. That is because the strictness of static policies may limit the freedom of normal users while it is potentially vulnerable to malicious users; on the other hand, trust systems are very adaptive to the user needs, actions and behaviours.
