Abstract

Trust management is emerging as a promising technology to facilitate collaboration among entities in an environment where traditional security paradigms cannot be enforced due to lack of centralized control and incomplete knowledge of the environment. However, prior art generally lack considerations on usable means to gather and disseminate information for effective trust evaluation, as well as provide trust information to users. This could cause a trust management solution to be hard to understand, use, and thus accept by the users. This paper proposes a user driven trust modeling and management method in order to design and develop a usable trust management solution that could be easily accepted by the users towards practical deployment. We illustrate how to apply this method into the design of a mobile application’s reputation system in order to demonstrate its effectiveness.
