Abstract

Trust has emerged as an important facet of inter-domainrelationships. Trust management in fixed networks is not functional in ad hoc P2P networks, because these requirean autonomous, user-centric and non-static trust management. The trust model is the basis of any security infrastructure. In this paper, we propose a trust-based middleware for secure digital content sharing between pervasive devices. Such middleware allows to enhance security support of pervasive devices. Likewise, we propose a suitable and efficient secure file exchange protocol, WSFEP, for content sharing. Both middleware and file sharing application have been successfuly integrated and tested on PDAs.
