Analysis of Feedback Evaluation for Trust Management Models in the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the world into an ecosystem of objects that communicate with each other to enrich our lives. The devices’ collaboration allows the creation of complex applications, where each object can provide one or more services needed for global benefit. The information moves to nodes in a peer-to-peer network, in which the concept of trustworthiness is essential. Trust and Reputation Models (TRMs) are developed with the goal of guaranteeing that actions taken by entities in a system reflect their trustworthiness values and to prevent these values from being manipulated by malicious entities. The cornerstone of any TRM is the ability to generate a coherent evaluation of the information received. Indeed, the feedback generated by the consumers of the services has a vital role as the source of any trust model. In this paper, we focus on the generation of the feedback and propose different metrics to evaluate it. Moreover, we illustrate a new collusive attack that influences the evaluation of the received services. Simulations with a real IoT dataset show the importance of feedback generation and the impact of the new proposed attack
IoT trust and reputation: a survey and taxonomy
IoT is one of the fastest-growing technologies and it is estimated that more
than a billion devices would be utilized across the globe by the end of 2030.
To maximize the capability of these connected entities, trust and reputation
among IoT entities is essential. Several trust management models have been
proposed in the IoT environment; however, these schemes have not fully
addressed the IoT devices features, such as devices role, device type and its
dynamic behavior in a smart environment. As a result, traditional trust and
reputation models are insufficient to tackle these characteristics and
uncertainty risks while connecting nodes to the network. Whilst continuous
study has been carried out and various articles suggest promising solutions in
constrained environments, research on trust and reputation is still at its
infancy. In this paper, we carry out a comprehensive literature review on
state-of-the-art research on the trust and reputation of IoT devices and
systems. Specifically, we first propose a new structure, namely a new taxonomy,
to organize the trust and reputation models based on the ways trust is managed.
The proposed taxonomy comprises of traditional trust management-based systems
and artificial intelligence-based systems, and combine both the classes which
encourage the existing schemes to adapt these emerging concepts. This
collaboration between the conventional mathematical and the advanced ML models
result in design schemes that are more robust and efficient. Then we drill down
to compare and analyse the methods and applications of these systems based on
community-accepted performance metrics, e.g. scalability, delay,
cooperativeness and efficiency. Finally, built upon the findings of the
analysis, we identify and discuss open research issues and challenges, and
further speculate and point out future research directions.Comment: 20 pages, 5 Figures, 3 tables, Journal of cloud computin
