TLDR
XenoTrust is described, the trust management architecture used in the XenoServer Open Platform, and it is suggested that using an event-based publish /subscribe methodology for the storage, retrieval and aggregation of reputation information can help exploiting asynchrony and simplicity, as well as improving scalability.
Abstract
This paper describes XenoTrust, the trust management architecture used in the XenoServer Open Platform: a public infrastructure for wide-area computing, capable of hosting tasks that span the full spectrum of distributed paradigms. We suggest that using an event-based publish /subscribe methodology for the storage, retrieval and aggregation of reputation information can help exploiting asynchrony and simplicity, as well as improving scalability.

A Survey of Solutions to the Sybil Attack

TL;DR: The impact of the Sybil attack, an attack against identity in which an individual entity masquerades as multiple simultaneous identities, is surveyed.

Hermes: A scalable event-based middleware

TL;DR: This thesis describes the design and implementation of Hermes, a distributed, eventbased middleware platform and introduces a novel congestion control service that avoids congestion in the overlay broker network during normal operation and recovery after failure, and therefore enables a resource-efficient deployment of the middleware.

Survey of trust models in different network domains

TL;DR: The security and trust concepts in wireless sensor networks are introduced and the difference between them are explained, stating that even though both terms are used interchangeably when defining a secure system, they are not the same.

A Survey of Trust Management and Resource Discovery Technologies in Peer-to-Peer Applications

TL;DR: A survey of Trust Management and Resource Discovery Technologies in Peer-to-Peer Applications identifies and defines key properties for each and summarizes the efforts of the P2P community in addressing these properties by categorizing and discussing relevant technologies and approaches.

The Sybil Attack

TL;DR: It is shown that, without a logically centralized authority, Sybil attacks are always possible except under extreme and unrealistic assumptions of resource parity and coordination among entities.

The many faces of publish/subscribe

TL;DR: This paper factors out the common denominator underlying these variants: full decoupling of the communicating entities in time, space, and synchronization to better identify commonalities and divergences with traditional interaction paradigms.

Decentralized trust management

TL;DR: This paper presents a comprehensive approach to trust management, based on a simple language for specifying trusted actions and trust relationships, and describes a prototype implementation of a new trust management system, called PolicyMaker, that will facilitate the development of security features in a wide range of network services.

Formalising Trust as a Computational Concept

Stephen Marsh
TL;DR: The thesis presents a testbed populated by simple trusting agents which substantiates the utility of the formalism and provides a step in the direction of a proper understanding and definition of human trust.

Supporting trust in virtual communities

TL;DR: In this article, a trust model that is grounded in real-world social trust characteristics, and based on a reputation mechanism, or word-of-mouth, is proposed for the virtual medium.
