소셜 네트워크를 통해 생산 유통되는 정보들은 신뢰할 수 없는 불분명한 정보들이 많고 그런 정보들이 무분별하게 확산되기 때문에 사용자들은 정보에 대한 신뢰성 여부를 판단하기가 힘들다. 특히 정보의 신뢰성에 대한 평가가 전적으로 사용자들의 판단에 맡겨지고 있는 상황에서, 온라인 정보의 신뢰도에 대한 체계적인 평가 방안의 마련이 절실하다. 본 논문에서는 소셜네트워크서비스의 신뢰도 평가 지표로서 KTI (Korean Trust Index for SNS)를 설계하여, 서비스 사용자들이 정보의 신뢰성을 판단할 수 있는 기준을 제시하였으며, 이를 통해 사회적 신뢰 수준을 분석할 수 있도록 하였다. SNS의 서비스 특성을 고려하여, 신뢰도에 영향을 주는 요인을 정의하였고 이를 바탕으로 온라인에서 유통되는 정보에 대한 신뢰도를 평가할 수 있는 신뢰모델을 설계하고 신뢰지수 KTI를 제시하였다. 신뢰지수 KTI의 개발은 SNS에 대한 신뢰 수준을 측정하여 이를 정량화함으로써, SNS 연결망을 효율적으로 활용하기 위한 신뢰 확보가 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 온라인 공동체에서 구성원들 간에 신뢰가 어떻게 형성 발전되는지를 살펴보기 위한 연구이다. 신뢰형성에 주요한 요인에 대한 이론적 고찰을 통해 본 연구는 사회적정체성과 지속적인 커뮤니케이션 활동을 주요한 요인으로 설정하고 이들과 신뢰(Trust)에 이르기 위한 매개변인들인 신뢰성 (Trustworthiness) 요소-Integrity (규범공유성), 선의(Benevolence), 개방성(Openness)-와의 관계를 살펴보았다. 이들 관계를 실증적으로 밝히기 위해서 본 연구는 국내 주요 온라인 사이트의 커뮤니티 구성원을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 사회적정체성과 지속적인 커뮤니케이션이 신뢰성 (Trustworthiness)에 유의미한 영향을 주고 있었으며 신뢰성의 세 가지 변인(Integrity, Benevolence, Openness) 등은 기존의 연구와 유사하게 신뢰에 주요한 요소들임이 밝혀졌다.

We are sometimes interacting with people who we know nothing and facing with the difficult task of making decisions involving risk in social network. To reduce risk, the topic of building Web of trust is receiving considerable attention in social network. The easiest approach to build Web of trust will be to ask users to represent level of trust explicitly toward another users. However, there exists sparsity issue in Web of trust which is represented explicitly by users as well as it is difficult to urge users to express their level of trustworthiness. We propose a fuzzy-based inference model for Web of trust using user behavior information in social network. According to the experiment result which is applied in Epinions.com, the proposed model show improved connectivity in resulting Web of trust as well as reduced prediction error of trustworthiness compared to existing computational model.

The concept of trust in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is usually utilized to assess the trustworthiness of the received data as well as that of the sending entities. The quality of safety applications in VANETs largely depends on the trustworthiness of exchanged data. In this paper, we propose a self-organized distributed trust computing framework (DTCF) for VANETs to compute the trustworthiness of each vehicle, in order to filter out malicious nodes and recognize fully trusted nodes. The proposed framework is solely based on the investigation of the direct experience among vehicles without using any recommendation system. A tier-based dissemination technique for data messages is used to filter out non authentic messages and corresponding events before even going farther away from the source of the event. Extensive simulations are conducted using Omnet++/Sumo in order to investigate the efficiency of our framework and the consistency of the computed trust metrics in both urban and highway environments. Despite the high dynamics in such networks, our proposed DTCF is capable of detecting more than 85% of fully trusted vehicles, and filtering out virtually all malicious entities. The resulting average delay to detect malicious vehicles and fraudulent data is showed to be less than 1 second, and the computed trust metrics are shown to be highly consistent throughout the network.

최근 정보기술의 발전으로 인하여 다양한 기능성게임이 제공되고 있다. 최근 들어, 교육기능성게임을 이용한 교육 서비스를 제공하는 교육 기능성게임이 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 하지만, 교육기능성게임은 사용자들에게 널리 이용되고 있지 못하는 실정이다. 특히, 사용자의 신뢰를 형성하지 못하는 서비스 이용은 교육기능성게임에 대한 몰입 및 지속적 사용을 저해하는 요인으로 나타나게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 교육기능성게임의 신뢰에 대한 선행변수인 신용을 이용하여 사용자의 몰입과 지속적 사용의도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 사용자를 대상으로 설문을 진행하였으며, 연구결과 사용자의 신용이 게임에 대한 몰입과 지속사용의도에 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다.

Trust management is one of the most challenging issues for the highly heterogeneous Internet of Things (IoT). In the context of the IoT, it is difficult to evaluate the node's trustworthiness in the same trust model when a node provides different services. Guaranteeing the availability of the trust management service is another significant challenge because of the dynamic nature of IoT environments. With these issues in mind, this paper propose a robust and adaptive trust management system for the IoT that is able to measure the trustworthiness of nodes based on feedbacks collected from participants in a specific context and ensure the availability of trust management services. The main contributions of our system are: 1) Proposing a partly decentralized trust management framework, which improves the resiliency of the trust mechanism; 2) Proposing an adaptive trust evaluation scheme and a three-dimensional context representation makes trust evaluation more accurate and specific; 3) Enhancing the adaptive trust evaluation scheme by incorporating a bad behavior factor in trust estimation, which efficiently distinguishes misleading feedbacks from On-Off attacks. Simulation results show the good performance of the proposed system and especially show effectiveness against On-Off attacks compared to other trust mechanisms.

Purpose: This study intends to offer strategic implications that can be used in Korean medicine hospitals through analysis of causal relationship among factors focusing on image improvement and trust building. Methods: Differential model was introduced to test causal relationship. Questionnaire was developed, and data was collected and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling. Results: Medical service has effects on image, trust, and CS. CS has an effect on trustworthiness, and trustworthiness has positive effect on loyalty intention and has negative effect on switching intention. Emotional attachment has moderating functions between trust and loyalty intention and between trust and switching intention. Conclusion: This study offers practical implications to relevant managers, at the same time it has limitations that omits relevant study of inducing factor for emotional attachment.

Due to the proliferation of data being exchanged and the increase of dependency on this data for critical decision-making, it has become imperative to ensure the trustworthiness of the data at the receiving end in order to obtain reliable results. Data provenance, the derivation history of data, is a useful tool for evaluating the trustworthiness of data. Various frameworks have been proposed to evaluate the trustworthiness of data based on data provenance. In this paper, we briefly review a history of these frameworks for evaluating the trustworthiness of data and present an overview of some prominent state-of-the-art evaluation frameworks. Moreover, we provide a comparative analysis of two key frameworks by evaluating various aspects in an executional environment. Our analysis points to various open research issues and provides an understanding of the functionalities of the frameworks that are used to evaluate the trustworthiness of data.

A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is composed of several sensor nodes which are severely restricted to energy and memory. Energy is the lifeblood of sensors and thus energy conservation is a critical necessity of WSN. This paper proposes a clustering algorithm namely Energy Efficient Trustworthy Clustering algorithm (EETCA), which focuses on three phases such as chief node election, chief node recycling process and bi-level trust computation. The chief node election is achieved by Dempster-Shafer theory based on trust. In the second phase, the selected chief node is recycled with respect to the current available energy. The final phase is concerned with the computation of bi-level trust, which is triggered for every time interval. This is to check the trustworthiness of the participating nodes. The nodes below the fixed trust threshold are blocked, so as to ensure trustworthiness. The system consumes lesser energy, as all the nodes behave normally and unwanted energy consumption is completely weeded out. The experimental results of EETCA are satisfactory in terms of reduced energy consumption and prolonged lifetime of the network.
