Abstract

In this paper we present a logical model of trust in which trust is conceived as an expectation of the truster about some properties of the trustee. A general typology of trust is presented. We distinguish trust in the trustee’s action from trust in the trustee’s disposition (motivational or normative disposition); positive trust from negative trust. A part of the paper is devoted to the formalization of security properties and to the analysis of their relationships with trust.

This work is supported by the project “ForTrust: social trust analysis and formalization” funded by the french Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR).
