A cross-domain trust inferential transfer model for cross-domain Industrial Internet of Things

Abstract

Trust systems have been widely studied in Internet of Things (IoT). However, there is a little work done on trust management in cross-domain Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Many of these models focus mainly or only on trust management in a single administrative domain where trust is evaluated based on the same criteria. In general, different administrative domains adopt different trust models and trust evaluation standards. Due to different trust evaluation standards, trust values from different administrative domain cannot be compared, directly. Therefore, there is a need for a well-defined trust computing scheme for such multi-domain IIoT environment. This paper focuses on the research of cross-domain trust and proposes a cross-domain trust computing scheme “CDTCS”, where trust recommendation value for an IIoT device in a domain can be transferred to a corresponding value in another domain. We analyze CDTCS performance in terms of trust accuracy and resiliency against attacks.
