Understanding the Trustworthiness Management in the SIoT Network

This chapter presents a holistic review of trustworthiness management for SIoT. The essence of trust in various disciplines has been discussed along with the Trust in SIoT followed by a detailed study on trust management components in SIoT. Furthermore, we analyze and compare the trust management schemes by categorizing them into four groups (i.e., recommendation-based, reputation-based, prediction-based, and policy-based) in terms of their strengths, limitations, trust management components employed in each of the referred trust management schemes, and the performance of these studies vis-á-vis numerous trust evaluation dimensions. Finally, this chapter discusses the research directions of the emerging paradigm of SIoT particularly for trust management in SIoT.
