Goals
Implement a CRDT-based mechanism for distributed trust computation and conflict-free updates during network partition recovery.
CRDTs and Trust Systems
The thesis reviews CRDT concepts and distributed trust systemsas the foundation for trust propagation.
Trust Propagation Protocol
A trust propagation protocol using CRDTs is designed forreliable trust updates in partitioned networks.
Simulation and Testing
The protocol is tested in simulated partitioned networkscenarios to measure performance and update accuracy.
Evaluation Metrics
Success rate of conflict-free updates and accuracy of trustreconciliation post-recovery are evaluated.
Main Tasks: Task 1: Review CRDTs and distributed trust systems. Task 2: Design trust propagation protocol using CRDTs. Task 3: Implement protocol in a simulated partitioned network. Task 4: Test trust updates during and after partitions. Task 5: Measure performance degradation and recovery accuracy. Task 6: Finalize thesis and prepare defense materials.
Deliverables (Besides the final thesis document): - CRDT-based trust propagation protocol - Simulation of partitioned network scenarios - Evaluation report on update consistency and recovery
Evaluation Criteria: - Conflict-free trust update success rate - Performance under varying partition durations - Accuracy of trust reconciliation post-recovery
