Trust Is in the Air: A New Adaptive Method to Evaluate Mobile Wireless Networks

Abstract

During this new world pandemic, a lot of technical issues have come to life, forcing all industries to reinvent themselves and how the day to day operations are performed. Remote working has become not only a trend but a necessity. Starting from online lecturing to online meetings on a need to know basis, people are concerned about their privacy and security in the online environment. Thus, in this paper, we focus our attention to the concepts of trust and reputation models in Wireless Mobile Networks ( WMN ), Wireless Sensor Networks( WSN ) more accurately, for secure routing of large data packets with respect to Quality of Service ( QoS ). This paper analyses the current context in wireless mobile networks, more specifically in wireless sensor networks, and proposes a novel adaptive method to evaluate it by defining a Markov based trust function and a new model to manage it.

A Multi-layer Approach for Mobile Devices: Behavioral Fingerprinting

“…By separating the device from the user, trust and reputation models related to wireless mobile networks could be improved. The device's unique identifier could be used to create a trust and reputation model for the hardware devices as proposed in (Mocanu et al, 2020) while the user profile could be used to improve a trust and reputation model like the one proposed in (Mihaita et al, 2017).…”

Artificial Intelligence in the Telecommunication Sector: Exploratory Analysis of 6G’s Potential for Organizational Agility

“…It is essential to highlight that as the evolution of the economy and society continues towards data and service-driven networks, the importance of non-technical aspects like trust is expected to increase further in this context (e.g., Steedman et al, 2020). It has further been stressed that for the 6G network, communication service providers and relevant enterprises will require not only that all products and services are designed to be secure and private from the start, but also that vendors are to be trusted (Mocanu et al, 2020). The role of governments and other regulatory bodies (including the European Union) in ensuring this trust and data security is also critical to consider as it would significantly impact the development and application of 6G network.…”
