Research Spirit – Designing risk management, trust measures, and social reputation models for a safer e-world..
Trust has been recognized over the years as a central topic in many aspects of human life. In Computer Science, trust has been studied in many different areas, with the results of several definitions considering trust from different perspectives. Given the mission of StrictSociaLab, we are interested in trust as a measure of the confidence that an entity will behave in an expected manner with respect to the security/privacy policies in place. In addition to trust measures, we are interested in studying risk that can be seen as the other side of trust. At this aim, at StrictSociaLab we are interested to study the concept of risk one subject might be exposed to when interacting with others. The above considerations lead us to investigate models and estimation methods for trust and risk in a variety of application domains, including:
- Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
- Mobile payment
- Trust and risk in online Social networks and their interplay with security and privacy
