Title: A Comparative Study of Trust and Reputation Models in Mobile Agent Systems
Abstract: Samet, Donies Ktata, Farah Barika Ghedira, KhaledIn the literature, several studies have shown that the use of trust models in mobile agent-based systems has advantages for improving the level of security and performance. This paper presents a comparative study of trust models specific to mobile agents, showing their strengths and limitations. The comparison is made based on several dimensions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the used dimensions by these models (parameters, concepts, etc.) and to identify the dimensions that are not used in the existing models of trust. This study will allow researchers to address the voids by ameliorating the concluded limits and proposing a new trust model, which besides incent entities to not adopt a selfish and/or strategic behavior will reflect better the reality of the behavior of the different entities on the mobile agent system. As a result, the trust values will be more accurate and the decision-making will be more precise. To make the requirements of the trust model easier to understand, we add a B2B application based on mobile agents and we integrate into each host of it a trust layer that allows the integration of the proposed dimensions. We present also the flowchart of the new related trust model.
