Abstract

Business activities are usually based on trust and reputation of the participating actors. Online social networks present to their members manifold possibilities to meet new business partners, while an evaluation of their trustworthiness is still a quite unsafe and risky matter. Basing on communication activities, a new concept to obtain reliable trust values for any two users is introduced and its generalisation to a global, network wide trust system will be proposed. Last but not least, a fully decentralised processing for those trust values is proposed.
