Abstract

Trust is an invisible behavior of any entity. An entity could be a living being or a cyber-physical system. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a connected network of smart objects or things where trusted relationships are crucial. Trust in an entity can increase or decrease based on different parameters and properties of the specific entity. Trusted relationships can dynamically reach based on contextual data collected over time. The heterogeneous behavior of IoT devices makes trust measurement more difficult. The massive deployment of IoT devices and related innovative IoT applications leads to exploring new trust management frameworks for the IoT paradigm. Emerging IoT applications need to trust entities deployed by third-party providers. Innovative external IoT applications need to be dynamically trusted by the IoT devices and IoT gateways. Dynamic trust achievement is a complex process when an entity is new within the network. In this article, we have defined the trust management for IoT and discussed the need for trusted architecture for dynamic IoT infrastructure, and elaborated the requirements of trust management policies. We have also heightened the need for decentralized architecture for trust management for the Internet of Things (IoT). A new edge-centric multi-agent-based dynamic and decentralized trust management model is proposed and simulated to solve the aforementioned issues. The results of this work are useful for further research in the field of trust management for IoT.
