In information system and information technology, trust management is an abstract system that processes symbolic representations of social trust, usually to aid automated decision-making process. Such representations, e.g. in a form of cryptographic credentials, can link the abstract system of trust management with results of trust assessment.
In centralised systems, security is typically based on the authenticated identity of external parties. Rigid authentication mechanisms, such as public key infrastructures (PKIs) [1] or Kerberos, [2] have allowed this model to be extended to distributed systems within a few closely collaborating domains or within a single administrative domain ...
In cryptography, a web of trust is a concept used in PGP, GnuPG, and other OpenPGP-compatible systems to establish the authenticity of the binding between a public key and its owner. Its decentralized trust model is an alternative to the centralized trust model of a public key infrastructure (PKI), which relies exclusively on a certificate ...
A similar theorem stating the trade-off between consistency and availability in distributed systems was published by Birman and Friedman in 1996. [13] Birman and Friedman's result restricted this lower bound to non-commuting operations.
Distributed management is a management method for people to work together over the web to accomplish desired goals. Management activities are distributed through the people doing the work. Management activities are distributed through the people doing the work.
Founded in 1992 as the Desktop Management Task Force, the organization's first standard was the now-legacy Desktop Management Interface (DMI). As the organization evolved to address distributed management through additional standards, such as the Common Information Model (CIM), it changed its name to the Distributed Management Task Force in 1999, but is now known as, DMTF.
A distribution management system (DMS) is a collection of applications designed to monitor and control the electric power distribution networks efficiently and reliably. It acts as a decision support system to assist the control room and field operating personnel with the monitoring and control of the electric distribution system.
Policy-based management [1] [2] [3] is a technology that can simplify the complex task of managing networks and distributed systems.Under this paradigm, an administrator can manage different aspects of a network or distributed system in a flexible and simplified manner by deploying a set of policies that govern its behaviour.
