Abstract

Trust can be defined as the relationship of reliance between two parties or individuals. Alice trusts Bob implies Alice’s reliance on the actions of Bob, based on what they know about each other. Trust is basically prediction of an otherwise unknown decision made by a party or an individual based on the actions of another party or individual. Trust is always directional and asymmetric. Alice trusts Bob does not imply Bob also trusts Alice.
