Automated trust negotiation (ATN) offers an attractive means for trust establishments, which establishes mutual trust among strangers wishing to share resources or conduct business, but it comes at the cost of non-trivial computation and communication overheads. The deployment of ATN strategies on a resource-constrained mobile device may lead to user-obstructive latency for operations. In this paper, we propose a trust negotiation strategy called trust target Petri nets negotiation strategy (TPNNS). It highly reduces the negotiation latency in the mobile device compared with other negotiation strategies, since it considers all the alternative responses at each step and chooses the best one. TPNNS supports cycle avoidance and employs skipped TPN which is a new approach presented in this paper. What is more, it is complete and ensures no irrelevant credentials are disclosed during the trust negotiation.
