Personal networks federation in mobile DTV

Mobile and online DTV encourages new scenarios and applications to dynamically share content or delegate services between user´s personal devices and networks. This requires the establishment of federations in a dynamic way, emerging the trust management as an important facet for that. Such trust management should be autonomous, user-centric, and dynamic to cope with forthcoming applications. This article addresses the mentioned requirements, by defining a SAML-compliant enhanced client to support federated environments for cooperation in mobile DTV scenarios. Such client is extended with a trust layer inside consumer electronic devices´ software.
