Abstract

Information and communication technology witnesses a raise of open, distributed systems that consist of various heterogeneous elements. Within such an environment, individual elements have to efficiently fulfil their goals, which may require cooperation with others. As a consequence, a variety of threats appears that need to be handled and circumvented in the entity’s behaviour. One major technical approach to provide a working environment for such systems is to introduce technical trust. In this paper, we present a basic threat model that comprises the most important challenges in this context – related to the basic system and the trust management, respectively. In order to illustrate the particular hazardous aspects, we discuss a Desktop Computing Grid application as scenario.
