Social Network-Based Trust Computing in P2P Environments

Trust has been shown to have fundamental effects on the security induced by interaction of more general networks, such as social networks. These effects have, however, proved to be sensitive to the details of the dynamics management of relationship network like the small world network in human society. Inspired from this, we derive a dynamics security mechanism of trust computing in P2P networks, starting from fundamental individual level such as autonomic and anonymous peers. Then we describe components of trust computing framework to demonstrate how one can derive the trust enhanced security solutions for peers' protection with the proposed trust computing architecture. Applying the computing model, we investigate how a trust mechanism to promote network security and performance.
