Trust and reputation for Internet of Things: Fundamentals, taxonomy, and open research challenges

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) is a contemporary technology, which links a tremendous number of devices with each other to ease the life via many useful services such as information exchange, monitoring, and control. IoT comprises different types of entities such as sensors and RFID tags, which mostly deployed in unattended, sensitive, and hostile territories. Due to rapid scalability and high heterogeneity, traditional security approaches fails to provide adequate security mechanisms for the current IoT infrastructure. The possibility of insecure and unattended deployment make some of IoT's entities subject to be captured physically by the attackers. As a result, the victim device can be exploited as a gateway to compromise the entire network. Furthermore, an entity may not work correctly because of resources constraints or instability of network's link. Recently, trust and reputation (TR) extended in IoT to monitor the behaviors deviation of IoT entities. Many TR models introduced, to incorporate the trust concepts in IoT as a new security paradigm. In this study, we provide thematic taxonomy for trust in IoT, considering several issues such as understanding of trust entity roles, trust properties, trust applications, levels of trust management, trust metrics, trust computation schemes and attacks on TR. Finally, the survey presents advances and open research challenges in the IoT's trust.

Success Factors Influencing Citizens’ Adoption of IoT Service Orchestration for Public Value Creation in Smart Government

“…Security and trust are paired in the IoT environment to cope with the cooperation and integration of services [129], and security is important for the integration of IoT's in societal services [130]. In this way, a vigorous trust model has a crucial impact on the sustainability of an IoT system [16]. In the context of e-gov systems, trust is of considerable importance for success, as citizens' privacy and security are the critical risks associated with the system [131].…”

“…The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept used to describe the collection of physical objects embedded in sensors linked to a network for valuable data in an unattended manner to exchange information, monitor, and control [16]. Definitions of IoT have been transformed according to the utilization of this technology by different groups including researchers, innovators, the corporate world, academicians, etc.…”

Privacy and data protection in mobile cloud computing: A systematic mapping study

“…• Reputation: is one of the components of trustworthiness measures. The reputation establishes based on the recommendations from the MCC users [78]. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0234312.g005 PLOS ONE Fig 6 shows the percentage of studies related to data privacy exercises based on the number of studies.…”

Privacy Protection and Data Security in Cloud Computing: A Survey, Challenges, and Solutions

“…Reference [85] introduced the concept and characteristics of edge computing, and proposed some requirements for edge computing security data analysis by analyzing the potential security threats of edge computing, and give a comprehensive review of the advantages and disadvantages of existing edge computing data analysis work. Reference [131] provided a subject classification of trust in the Internet of Things, and considered the role of trust entities, trust attributes, trust applications, trust management, trust measurement, trust computing schemes.…”
