Abstract

This paper proposes a security architecture that employs trust notion to address security issues in active networks. The subjectivity of trust is discussed, and the innovative idea is that how to compute trust should be decided subjectively by an entity. Then, a general framework for a trust system is described. Finally, a flexible trust management model, which employs the features of active networks, is presented. In this model, different entities can use different methods to compute trust, and an entity can change its computing method of trust over time.
