Privacy-Preserving Function Computation by Exploitation of Friendships in Social Networks

Martin Vetterli, Patrick Thiran, Farid Movahedi Naini, Jayakrishnan Unnikrishnan

We study the problem of privacy-preserving computation of functions of data that belong to users in a social network under the assumption that users are willing to share their private data with trusted friends in the network. We demonstrate that such trust ...

Pattern-wise trust assessment of sensor data

Karl Aberer, Mehdi Riahi, Robert Gwadera

One of the most important tasks of a sensor network (SN) is to detect occurrences of interesting events in the monitored environment. However, data measured by SN is often affected by errors. We investigate the problem of assessing trustworthiness (trust) ...

Trust beyond reputation: A computational trust model based on stereotypes

Anwitaman Datta, Xin Liu

Models of computational trust support users in taking decisions. They are commonly used to guide users' judgements in online auction sites; or to determine quality of contributions in Web 2.0 sites. However, most existing systems require historical informa ...

A decision support system assessing the trust level in supply chains based on information sharing dimensions

Naoufel Cheikhrouhou, Omar Ayadi

Assessing customer trust in suppliers with regards to its influencing factors is an important open issue in supply chain management literature. In this paper, a customer trust index is designed as the trust level arising from the information sharing degree ...

On the Tradeoff between Trust and Privacy in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Maxime Raya, Reza Shokri

As privacy moves to the center of attention in networked systems, and the need for trust remains a necessity, an important question arises: How do we reconcile the two seemingly contradicting requirements? In this paper, we show that the notion of data-cen ...

Data-centric trust in ephemeral networks

Maxime Raya

New network types require new security concepts. Surprisingly, trust – the ultimate goal of security – has not evolved as much as other concepts. In particular, the traditional notion of building trust in entities seems inadequate in an ephemeral environme ...

On Data-Centric Trust Establishment in Ephemeral Ad Hoc Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Maxime Raya

We argue that the traditional notion of trust as a relation among entities, while useful, becomes insu±cient in ephemeral ad hoc networks. In this paper, we address the challenge of extending the traditional notion of trust to data-centric trust, that is, ...
