Abstract
Trust models have been touted to facilitate cooperation among unknown entities. Existing behavior-based trust models typically include a fixed evaluation scheme to derive the trustworthiness of an entity from knowledge about its behavior in previous interactions. This paper in turn proposes a framework for behavior-based trust models for open environments with the following distinctive characteristic. Based on a relational representation of behavior-specific knowledge, we propose a trust-policy algebra allowing for the specification of a wide range of trust-evaluation schemes. A key observation is that the evaluation of the standing of an entity in the network of peers requires centrality indices, and we propose a first-class operator of our algebra for computation of centrality measures. This paper concludes with some preliminary performance experiments that confirm the viability of our approach.
