SUMMARY Internet of Things and broadband communication are promoting the pervasive mobile services with their advanced features. However, security problems baffled the development. This paper proposes a trust model to protect the user's security. The billing or trust operator works as an agent to provide a trust authentication for all the service providers. The services are classified by sensitive value calculation. With the combined location‐aware and identity‐aware information and authentication history, the user's trustiness for corresponding service can be obtained. For decision, three trust regions are divided and referred to three ranks as follows: high, medium and low. The trust region tells the customer which authentication methods should be used for access. Penalty coefficient is also involved for forbidding force‐crack. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
