Abstract

Trust management provides a potential solution for the security issues of distributed networks. However, there are rare researches about the trust mechanism for IoT in the literature. A new distributed trust management mechanism for IoT is established in this paper. Firstly, we extract three basic elements- service, decision-making and self-organizing, of trust management from the investigated trust solutions. Then, based on a service model, we establish a trust management frame- work for the layered IoT, which is decomposed into three layers: sensor layer, core layer and application layer. Finally, we use fuzzy set theory and formal semantics-based language to perform the layered trust mechanism. The proposed trust conception, layered service model and formal method provide a general framework for the study of trust management for the IoT, and further provide a significant reference for the development of sound trust models for IoT.
