An adaptive framework for trust based security in pervasive computing environment

An adaptive trust based security architecture (based on human notion of trust) as a mechanism to secure computing in pervasive environment is proposed. The model encompasses the ability to reason human cognitive behavior and has the capability to adjust in accordance with behavioral pattern changes. This capability is currently lacking in the existing models as they rely only on mathematical calculation. A strategic attack-based analysis is used for evaluation of the proposed model. Finally we have compared our model with existing evolutionary models in this field.
