Robust and credible reputation systems are essential for the functionality of Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) applications. However, they themselves are susceptible to various types of attacks …

Both privacy and trust relate to knowledge about an entity. However, there is an inherent
conflict between trust and privacy: the more knowledge a first entity knows about a second …

Moving toward the implementation of the intelligent building idea in the framework of
ambient intelligence, a video security application for people detection, tracking, and …

During the past thirty years, the world of computing has evolved from large centralised
computing centres to an increasingly distributed computing environment, where computation …

One of the challenges for ubiquitous computing and P2P systems is to find reliable partners
for interactions. We believe that this problem can be solved by assigning trust values to …

We examine five security problems that are barriers to mainstream pervasive computing.
These are: device authentication, privacy, trust management, device assurance, recourse …

Finding reliable partners for interactions is one of the challenges in ubiquitous computing
and P2P systems. We believe, that this problem can be solved by assigning trust values to …

Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed
infrastructure. Nodes rely on each other to route packets to other mobile nodes or toward …

Trust management seems a promising approach for dealing with security concerns in
collaborative applications in a global computing environment. However, the characteristics …

This paper introduces a new algorithm for calculating trust in Wireless Sensor Networks
based on the quality of services characteristics expected to be fulfilled by nodes. Figure 3 …
