The TPM is a fairly passive entity. As a result, it can be difficult to involve the TPM in measurements of software trustworthiness beyond simple load-time hashing of static program code. We suggest an approach to dynamic, runtime measurement of software trustworthiness properties as they relate to code-data owernship relationships. We outline a system, SegSlice, that actively involves the TPM ...

Based on the software evolution theory, this paper discusses the software trustworthiness growth process in which software trustworthiness gradually develops from low trustworthy state into high trustworthy state, presents the cycle model of software trustworthiness growth and summarizes the key factors of influencing trustworthiness growth. On this basis, the relative expansion concepts of tru...

Services are becoming increasingly important in modern economies. Information technology provides most of the needed infrastructure to support the proper delivery of these services. In this paper, we adopt Covey’s [1] behaviors for trust to help improve the trustworthiness of IT-based service-oriented organizations. We develop checklists to qualitatively assess the level of trustworthiness of t...

Anthony G Tuckett outlines the strategies and operational techniques he used to attain rigour in a qualitative research study through relying on Guba and Lincoln's trustworthiness criterion. Research strategies such as use of personal journals, audio recording and transcript auditing, and operational techniques including triangulation strategies and peer review, are examined.

People often make approachability decisions based on perceived facial trustworthiness. However, it remains unclear how people learn trustworthiness from a population of faces and whether this learning influences their approachability decisions. Here we investigated the neural underpinning of approach behavior and tested two important hypotheses: whether the amygdala adapts to different trustwor...

It is easy enough to assert the trustworthiness or otherwise of a digital record, but it is far more difficult to present an objective basis for that assertion. A number of recent research efforts have focused on the trustworthiness of a digital record while paying scant attention to the record’s evidential value as a measure of and a basis for the assessment of its trustworthiness. In this wor...
