(e.g. location, amount of payment, credit card information etc.). Privacy preserving is required to consider

5.2.10 Trust provisioning of mobility management
5.2.10.1 Description

Figure 11 describes handover scenario in mobility management as a user using User Equipment (UE) moves
one network to another network. Handover (or handoff) refers to the process of transferring an ongoing
session connected to the network to another channel.

Figure 11 – A handover scenario among heterogeneous mobile networks

To control handover between different mobile networks, it is necessary to identify the candidate list of Point
of Attachments (PoAs) currently accessible by an UE. Based on this information, the UE can choose one of
the reachable PoA to establish a new communication link. For the network selection, the handover control
function defined in [ITU-T Y.2804] may get some information such as signal quality or available resources of
the candidate PoAs. Trust may be applicable during network selection.
5.2.10.2 Actors
Network provider: includes resources and trust-related properties such as QoE (previous experience of
network usage), and available bandwidth, etc.

User: user profile, previous activity, etc.
Device: device profile, available network interface, etc.

5.2.10.3 Analysis
Need to make a process of trust provisioning in terms of:
• Overall flow diagram starting from development of simple trust metric or index;
• Trust provisioning will be more accurate or acceptable when data is accumulated or new
technologies are developed.
