Abstract
There is a need to create a trusted and secure IoT environment to share information, create knowledge and perform digital transactions. Trustworthy data collection, mining and fusion is vital for the successful widespread acceptance of IoT applications. This requires not only accurate, secure, and precise data collection; but also provisioning of data provenance throughout the whole life-cycle of the IoT device. To this end, this paper introduces a provenance-based trust management solution which helps in establishing a trust relationship among communicating devices in the IoT. This work extends the Internet of Things Management Platform (IoT-MP) by assuring data provenance. Thus complementing the previous IoT-MP capabilities in preserving the privacy of users in the IoT.
