Abstract

Policy-mapping mechanisms can efficiently help to realize the exchange and the sharing of cross-domain information at low cost. However, due to concerns over policy conflicts, if not sufficient incentives, most selfish domains are often disinterested in helping others to implement policy mapping cooperatively. Thus an appropriate incentive mechanism is required. In this paper, we propose an incentive mechanism to encourage selfish domains to take part in policy mapping and resolve policy conflicts. Formulating conflict resolution as a double auction and solving Bayesian Nash equilibrium, we design the optimal asking/bidding price scheme to maximize the benefits of the domains involved. Simulations demonstrate that our approach can efficiently incentivize selfish domains to take part in cooperation.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Temporal attribute-based encryption (TABE) can be used to seal the price. Only when the pre-negotiated time is reached, the domain involved can decrypt the sealed price. TABE is out of the scope of our paper, please refer to [1] for more details.

  2. 2.

    For example, as shown in Fig. 2(d), there are two candidate schemes \(S_1=\{\text {remove the mapping } r_7:B \Longrightarrow r_1:A \text { or } r_3:A \Longrightarrow r_4:B\}\) and \(S_2=\{\text {modify the inheritance relationship between } r_1 \text { and }r_3\}\) of resolving conflicts: if we delete mapping \(r_7\):B \(\Longrightarrow \) \(r_1\):A or \(r_3\):A \(\Longrightarrow \) \(r_4\):B, then no conflict can be found.
