Title
A Trust Model with Statistical Foundation
Abstract
The widespread use of the Internet signals the need for a better understanding of trust as a basis for secure on-line interaction. In the face of increasing uncertainty and risk, users and machines must be allowed to reason effectively about the trustworthiness of other entities. In this paper, we propose a trust model that assists users and machines with decision-making in online interactions by using past behavior as a predictor of likely future behavior. We develop a general method to automatically compute trust based on self-experience and the recommendations of others. Furthermore, we apply our trust model to several utility models to increase the accuracy of decision-making in different contexts of Web Services.
