This article proposed the authentication protocol for peer-to-peer resource sharing community. The proposed protocol does not require a priori information for generating and exchanging authentication key. Also this protocol can provide the delicate access control by allowing the user(authenticator) to assign the trust level to the authentication supplicant, which can be used to decide if the resource providing node will accept the resource sharing request from a resource requesting node. Trust Relationship Chaining provides the environment where trust levels (included in the trust table) of nodes in the resource sharing community are propagated among nodes when trust tables are exchanged between two nodes engaged in mutual authentication process and authentication refresh so that any two nodes which are not directly mutual-authenticated can assign the trust level each other for the access control for resource sharing. In the proposed protocol a node can implements the authentication refresh continuously to verify the effectiveness of authentication after mutual authentication so that the authentication of new node or authentication revocation(effectiveness cancellation) of the departed node can be propagated to the all the nodes in RSC and eventually safe resource sharing community is configured.

Consumer trust plays a crucial role in the development of the sharing economy. This study primarily focuses on the factors influencing consumer trust and examines the case of ofo, a former leader in China's bike-sharing industry. This paper analyzes the decline in consumer trust in ofo, which can be attributed to internal management issues and the near-bankruptcy situation. The "difficulty in refunds" issue faced by ofo since December 2018 has been growing continuously, and this study explores the factors influencing trust and distrust in this context. By considering product factors (quality), platform factors (payment security, privacy protection, reputation), and social factors (social norms, government regulation) as independent variables, the study analyzes the factors affecting consumer trust. The analysis results revealed that as consumers' distrust towards shared bikes increases, their switching intention also increases. The company's reputation and social norms were found to influence both trust and distrust, while government regulation was found to influence trust. The research findings provide insights relevant to sharing economy platforms and offer guidance for future studies.

The cooperation and trust among the project participants play a critical role in the success or failure of any delivery system in construction industry. But it is very difficult to establish trust between an owner and a contractor when rational people only pursue only their own material self-interest. Based on the principal-agent theory, this paper will introduce the altruistic behavior into the traditional principal-agent model, and model the reciprocal behavior between the owner and contractor. We will show that both the owner and the contractor benefit from their reciprocal behavior, and hence trust establishing between them is possible. More importantly, we will proof that the higher the project uncertainty is, the more important trust establishing is.

Purpose: The supply of and demand for medical services continue to increase as the current social environment changes. Consequently, competition among medical institutions is intensifying and hospitals must establish appropriate management strategies to improve the medical services they provide. This study suggests that the authenticity of doctors is a factor in improving medical-service quality and examines the effect authenticity has on the affective trust and satisfaction of patients. Design, methodology, and approach: The study utilized previous studies to examine the significance of potential variables, established hypotheses and used a questionnaire to confirm these hypotheses. The questionnaire was distributed to patients who had visited a hospital in the previous six months. Responses were analyzed empirically using structural equation modeling. Findings: The analysis found that a physician's authenticity has a significant impact on the affective trust of patients. While patients' affective trust does not have a similar strong impact on patient satisfaction, physician authenticity does have a significant impact on patient satisfaction. Conclusion and implications: This study examined the roles of authenticity, affective trust, and patient satisfaction in doctor-patient relationships in the medical services field. The implication of the findings is that physician authenticity is a prerequisite for patient satisfaction of medical services.

One of the major goals of using knowledge management systems(KMS) is the sharing of knowledge. The intent of an individual to share his/her knowledge plays a crucial role in sharing quality knowledge in corporations. However, there is little research that addresses this relationship between the intent to share and the use of KMS both from a holistic perspective and with empirical data analyses. To understand major factors that affect both knowledge sharing intent and the use of KMS, we conducted a field study from eight companies in four different industries which had been using KMS for at least a year. Using confirmatory factor analysis and structured equation modeling techniques, we have analyzed the relationships among top management support, trust among peers, trust in the organizational hierarchy, incentives and rewards, knowledge-sharing intent, KMS quality, knowledge quality, and the use of KMS. The research results show that top management support and trust between peers enhance the intent of sharing knowledge. We also found that top management support, knowledge-sharing intent, incentives and rewards, and the quality of knowledge have positive relationships with the use of KMS.

The principal objective of the work is to confirm the effects of perceived interactivity, trust, and emotion on intentions to use IPTV service. The empirical investigation into IPTV service users suggests that (i) the perception of interactivity should be directly related with trust, (ii) Users' trust should bolster users' emotion in a positive or negative aspect, and (iii) such emotion is verified to affect the intention to use IPTV continuously. More specifically, we demonstrate that positive and negative emotions influence user intentions positively and negatively. Additionally, we find that the trust mediates perceived interactivity and emotions, and both trust and emotion mediate the relationship between perceived interactivity and intentions to use IPTV. The work indicates that trust and emotion of users should be considered from IS perspective in an attempt to build the intention to use IPTV. IPTV firms should consider in their IPTV design and offering strategy how to enhance positive emotions for user retention and eventually bolster intentions to use IPTV continuously.

Although smartwatches are different from smartphones in shape and carried method, they are also highly relevant to smartphones and have similar characteristics. This paper studied the impact of using smartphones on the intention to use smartwatches from the perspective of brand extension. The hypotheses were that the major factors of the attitude formed in the process of using smartphones affect the intention of using them and affect the trust of smartwatches. As a result of testing the hypotheses, trust in smartphonees affected trust in smartwatches. And the intention to use smartphones and the trust of smartwatches affected the intention to use smartwatches. However, the satisfaction, familiarity, and favorability of smartphones did not affect the trust of smartwatches. Smartwatches were associated with smartphones but they had independent characters. Based on the results of the study, the trust of smartwatches is very important, so the corporate managers need to find ways to improve their trust. And they should find strategies to improve the value of the product by finding out the factors that can increase the intention of using smartwatches.
