A Reputation and Knowledge Based Trust Service Platform for Trustworthy Social Internet of Things

The Internet of Things has attracted a plenty of research in this decade and imposed fascinating services where large numbers of heterogeneous-features entities socially collaborate together to solve complex scenarios. However, these entities need to trust each other prior to exchanging data or offering services. In this paper, we briefly present our ongoing project called Trust Service Platform, which offers trust assessment of any two entities in the Social Internet of Things to applications and services. We propose a trust model that incorporates both reputation properties as Recommendation and Reputation trust metrics; and knowledge-based property as Knowledge trust metric. For the trust service platform deployment, we propose a reputation system and a functional architecture with Trust Agent, Trust Broker and Trust Analysis and Management modules along with mechanisms and algorithms to deal with the three trust metrics. We also present a utility theory-based mechanism for trust calculation. To clarify our trust service platform, we describe the trust models and mechanisms in accordance with a trust car-sharing service. We believe this study offers the better understanding of the trust as a service in the platform and will impose many trust-related research challenges as the future work

Towards a unified trust framework for trust establishment and trust based service selection

Trust is an important factor in online communication. Trust is used as a criteria for service selection. The first step to build a trust solution is to define trust and trust principles. Most current trust-based service selection approaches do not define trust and they establish trust for services by ranking services or finding the services' compliance and reputation. In addition, most studies do not consider trust principles that underpin trust concepts and do not address trust challenges that should be resolved as a part of the trust solution. This paper proposes a framework to build trust for services and to select services based on trust criteria. The main purpose is to move towards a unified framework that includes the main trust components to have a complete trust solution based on trust definition and trust principles
