ABSTRACT
The emerging need for peer to peer communication in multi-user environments as well as the breakthrough of ubiquitous computing have contributed to the evolution of Personal Networking towards multiple network collaboration, namely the Personal Networks Federations. Nevertheless, in these environments new threat issues arise, calling for appropriate countermeasures. In this paper, the authors propose a framework for privacy protection in personal networking, based on the idea of creating a trust management mechanism that will meet the need for protecting privacy and safeguarding sensitive and personal information, while satisfying the need for validating and authorizing users that have access to personal resources.
