ABSTRACT = {The Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm faces new and genuine challenges and 
problems associated, mainly, with the ubiquitous access to the Internet, the 
huge number of devices involved and the heterogeneity of the components 
making up this new global network. In this context, protecting these systems 
against cyberattacks and cybercrimes has turn into a basic issue. In relation to 
this topic, most proposed solutions in the literature are focused on security; 
however other aspects have to be considered (such as privacy or trust). 
Therefore, in this paper we define a theoretical framework for trust in IoT 
scenarios, including a mathematical formalization and a discussion about the 
requirements which should fulfill a solution for trust provision. An analysis of 
these requirements shows that blockchain technology meets them perfectly, so 
a first trust provision system based on blockchain networks is also provided. An 
experimental validation is also proposed and performed in order to evaluate the 
described solution.},
