Securing ad hoc networks in a fully self-organized way is effective and light-weight, but fails to accomplish trust initialization in many trust deficient scenarios. To overcome t...

In this paper, we propose that identity reference used over distributed communication should be defined independent from any attributes and/or the public keys associated with the ...
In this paper we develop a novel probabilistic model of computational trust that explicitly deals with correlated multi-dimensional contracts. Our starting point is to consider an...

The open and anonymous nature of a P2P network makes it an ideal medium for attackers to spread malicious content. In this paper, we propose a reputation-based trust management sy...
In open, dynamic multi-agent systems, agents may form short-term ad-hoc groups, such as coalitions, in order to meet their goals. Trust and reputation are crucial concepts in thes...
