XenoTrust: Event-based distributed trust management

This paper describes XenoTrust, the trust management architecture used in the XenoServer Open Platform: a public infrastructure for wide-area computing, capable of hosting tasks that span the full spectrum of distributed paradigms. We suggest that using an event-based publish/subscribe methodology for the storage, retrieval and aggregation of reputation information can help exploiting asynchrony and simplicity, as well as improving scalability.
