Incremental approaches to establishing trust
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate cooperation using an incremental investment game in which the first-mover has the ability to make small, but increasing incremental investments in their counterpart. Our experiment is designed to test whether establishing trust in small increments is more effective than alternatives, including a one-shot investment game, a decrease only condition where the amount the first-mover sends to the second-mover must be less than the amount previously sent, and an unrestricted condition where the first-mover is not restricted by the amount previously sent. Although results were mixed, broadly, iteration affords greater cooperation than one-shot games and, when given the choice, participants seem to prefer to build trust gradually. Implications for institutional design are discussed.

Trust as the Foundation of Resource Exchange in GENI
Researchers and educators in computer science and other domains are increasingly turning to distributed test beds that offer access to a variety of resources, including networking, computation, storage, sensing, and actuation. The provisioning of resources from their owners to interested experimenters requires establishing sufficient mutual trust between these parties. Building such trust direc...
متن کاملA Situation-Aware Computational Trust Model for Selecting Partners
Trust estimation is a fundamental process in several multiagent systems domains, from social networks to electronic business scenarios. However, the majority of current computational trust systems is still too simplistic and is not situation-aware, jeopardizing the accuracy of the predicted trustworthiness values of agents. In this paper, we address the inclusion of context in the trust managem...

The Internet enables connectivity between many entities that don't know each other, but to enable e-business between them, the parties need to establish some level of trust in each other. The trust can be established through the presentation of 3 party credentials where a credential is a statement made by an issuer about a subject. We describe a Trust Policy Language (TPL) which allows a party ...

In open systems like the Internet, traditional approaches to security based on identity do not provide a solution to the problem of establishing trust between strangers, because strangers do not share the same security domain. A new approach to establishing trust between strangers is trust negotiation, the bilateral exchange of digital credentials describing attributes of the negotiation partic...
متن کاملA UML-based Method for the Development of Policies to Support Trust Management
Most of the existing approaches to trust management focus on the issues of assessing the trustworthiness of other entities and of establishing trust between entities. This is particularly relevant for dynamic, open and distributed systems, where the identity and intentions of other entities may be uncertain. These approaches offer methods to manage trust, and thereby to manage risk and security...
