This paper presents a hierarchical (two-layered) trust management framework for very large scale distributed computing utilities where public resources provide majority of the resource capacity. The dynamic nature of these utility networks introduce challenging management and security issues due to behavior turnabout, maliciousness and diverse policy enforcement. The trust management approach offers interesting answers to such issues. In our framework, the lower layer computes local reputation for peers within their domain based on individual contribution, while the upper layer combines the local reputation with that of its domain's (as perceived by other domains) to compute the peer's global trust. Simulation results show that the hierarchical scheme is more scalable, highly robust in hostile conditions and capable of creating rapid trust estimates. Features of the framework include: (a) ability to carry forward local behavior trends, (b) autonomous domain-based policing, (c) high cohesiveness with the resource management system, and (d) securely exposing the trust evaluation operations to peers (i.e., the subjects of the evaluation process). A detailed analysis of the threats/attacks that the framework could be subjected is presented along with countermeasures against the attacks.
