  1. Trust-Based Security Protocols Henry Hexmoor, Sandeep Bhattaram, and Seth L. Wilson University of Arkansas Fayetteville, Arkansas 72701

  2. Orientation • AI/agents group working on knowledge representation and management… • Our Primary focus is on design and implementation of socially adept agents… • “Soft security” as our newest KR&M research area with modest AFOSR funding…

  3. Orientation and Premise • Information sharing among disparately-located individuals with security concerns for confidentiality and integrity… sensor networks… • Existing organizational policies lack in impersonal nature of the work environments and mutuality of trust and respect. • We are developing trust-based security policies in information sharing that consider “trust” as the key parameter…

  4. Preliminaries • Interpersonal Trust: Agent x’s trust in agent y is agent x’s estimation of the probability that agent y will preserve agent x’s welfare with regard to actions to be performed • If a fact initiator agent determines that their trust in a recipient agent does not warrant them to receive the fact, then the recipient agent is considered to be an unintended receiver. • Imagine a DAG of trust, i.e., a trust network… • A trust policyprescribes a trust update policy that regulates changes in interpersonal trust relations in the first order to reduce unintended receivers while increasing the rate of information sharing. • The larger goal is to establish and maintain enterprise KM regimes and to regulate information sharing topologies…

  5. Towards System-wide Metrics… Information availability, IA, is the degree to which information is freely available when shared among a group of agents. IA, a system level metric, is the sum of number of satisfied agents and the number of intended receivers expressed as a percentage of the total facts shared. Security Measure, SM, is a system level metric, that measures the number of unintended receivers expressed as a percentage of the total facts shared.

  6. A simulation with randomized facts and agents…

  9. Conclusion • The trust-based information sharing model sufficiently and effectively guarantees the high availability of information while limiting security breaches. • Our simulations have demonstrated that the use of a “soft security” mechanism such as trust is as effective as hard security mechanisms. • The inherent advantage of our model is in its simplicity, malleability, and scalability.
