A Computational Dynamic Trust Model for User Authorization
Main Article Content
Abstract
Improvement of authorization process for protected information access by a large society of users in an open environment is an important problem in today’s Internet world. In this paper we propose a computational dynamic trust model for user authorization, rooted in findings from social science. Unlike most existing computational trust models, this model distinguishes trusting belief in integrity from that in capability in different contexts and accounts for subjectivity in the evaluation of a particular trustee by different trusters. Many Model studies were conducted to evaluate the presentation of the proposed integrity belief model with other trust models from the creative writing for different user behavior patterns. Results showed that the proposed model resulted in higher performance than other models especially in predicting the behavior of unbalanced users.
