The Heritage Trust Model
Abstrakt
Trust management systems has been proposed to address joyless security in open and distributed environments (Web, Semantic Web, Peer-to-peer networks, etc.). A user usually spent a lot of time by building her reputation and by creating a network of trusted/distrusted users. Without possibility of seamless transfer from one trust management system to another, a user is forced to build a new reputation/network of trusted users again. This problem will become even more severe, as many current systems using trust as a key factor influencing ability to communicate within a group of users will be outdated and some of them even down. The paper presents a specification of the seamless transfer problem and it also introduces a solution – the Heritage Trust Model based on dynamic graphs and ontologies.
