    Abstract

    The entities participating in a context-aware service platform need to establish and manage trust relationships in order to assert different trust aspects including identity provisioning, privacy enforcement, and context information provisioning. Current trust management models address these trust aspects individually when in fact they are dependent on each other. In this paper we identify and analyze the trust relationships in a context-aware service platform and propose an integrated trust management model that supports quantification of trust for different trust aspects. Our model addresses a set of trust aspects that is relevant for our target context-aware service platform and is extensible with other trust aspects. We propose to calculate a resulting trust value for context-aware services, which considers the dependencies between the different trust aspects, and aims to support the users in the selection of the more trustworthy services. In this calculation we target two types of user goals: one with high priority in privacy enforcement (privacy concerned) and one with high priority in the service adaptation (service concerned). Based on our trust model we have designed a distributed trust management architecture and implemented a proof of concept prototype.
