- 代理自主评估能力并本地存储信任数据,降低通信开销。
- 新算法可检测服务提供者性能下降,适应动态行为变化。
- 适合开放多智能体系统中对鲁棒性要求高的场景。
信任管理为开放、动态、分布式多智能体系统提供了替代安全方案,传统加密方法在此类环境中不适用。现有信任模型面临代理移动性、行为变化及冷启动问题。本文提出一种受生物启发的信任模型,信托方自主评估自身能力并本地存储信任数据,提升移动支持、减少通信开销、抵抗虚假信息并保护隐私。然而先前评估显示该模型在应对提供者群体变化和持续性能波动方面存在局限。本研究提出一种新算法,引入自分类机制以检测可能对服务消费者造成危害的性能下降。仿真结果表明,新算法在处理动态信托行为方面优于原模型和知名信任声誉模型FIRE。尽管在极端环境变化下FIRE仍具竞争力,但本算法在多种条件下表现出更强适应性。与现有研究不同,本文采用广泛认可的标准对模型进行全面评估,检验其对常见信任攻击的韧性,并识别优劣势及潜在对策。最后,提出了若干未来研究方向。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Trust management provides an alternative solution for securing open, dynamic, and distributed multi-agent systems, where conventional cryptographic methods prove to be impractical. However, existing trust models face challenges related to agent mobility, changing behaviors, and the cold start problem. To address these issues we introduced a biologically inspired trust model in which trustees assess their own capabilities and store trust data locally. This design improves mobility support, reduces communication overhead, resists disinformation, and preserves privacy. Despite these advantages, prior evaluations revealed limitations of our model in adapting to provider population changes and continuous performance fluctuations. This study proposes a novel algorithm, incorporating a self-classification mechanism for providers to detect performance drops potentially harmful for the service consumers. Simulation results demonstrate that the new algorithm outperforms its original version and FIRE, a well-known trust and reputation model, particularly in handling dynamic trustee behavior. While FIRE remains competitive under extreme environmental changes, the proposed algorithm demonstrates greater adaptability across various conditions. In contrast to existing trust modeling research, this study conducts a comprehensive evaluation of our model using widely recognized trust model criteria, assessing its resilience against common trust-related attacks while identifying strengths, weaknesses, and potential countermeasures. Finally, several key directions for future research are proposed.
