Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): Component-based software architecture enables extending the functionality of a system with additional software modules, called components.
An open architecture makes it possible for software vendors to provide various components for the end-users.
Installing third party software into a system introduces, however, threats that cannot be ignored.

The threats are especially troubling in case of mobile and embedded devices since their faulty functioning may make them completely unusable or cause significant monetary loss.
The growing importance of software in embedded systems, its economic value and the fact that individuals and societies depend more and more on the correct functioning of these embedded systems are the major motivations for developing secure component architecture.
This thesis describes a trust model designed to be used in component-based software architecture.
The architecture is developed for the needs of embedded devices, for which dependability is particularly important.
The aim is that using the trust model, it is possible to evaluate the trustworthiness of the installed components and, furthermore, to maintain the correct operation of a system.

This thesis also introduces a recommendation mechanism, which enables the devices to communicate their observations about the operation of a component to other devices.
In this way, the devices gain valuable additional information about the trustworthiness of the component.

The trust model with the recommendation mechanism was experimented with simulation.
The model contains many parameters that relate to the details of the trustworthiness evaluation procedure.
The simulation shows that the choice of parameters has a major effect on the results.
In a situation where a component may operate either well or badly, some parameter sets are appropriate for maximizing the number of good experiences and others for minimizing the number of bad ones.
