A Dynamic Trust Evaluation Model for Internet Computing

Trust mechanism has been identified as one of key areas in the field of Internet security. Our objective in this paper is to develop a dynamic trust evaluation model for Internet computing. The proposed scheme divides the recommendation trust into the direct recommendation trust and the indirect recommendation trust, and considers variety of factors to calculate the two types of recommendation trust degree. Simulation results show that, compared to the existing trust model, the model can effectively improve the accuracy of trust evaluation, and provide a better capacity of resisting malicious entities.
