A New Proposal for Distributed System Security Framework

摘要

Trust among entities of a distributed system supports secure environment. In this paper, the authors propose an approach to compute trust values using fuzzy based approach. The main focus of the approach is on the dynamic behaviour of trust values. Mutual authentication is ensured among the communicating entities using trust values. These trust values are transmitted securely using cryptography. The trust values have also been used to generate access control policies.
