Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to show how to use Caution, a tool for the specification and evaluation of credential networks. The resulting degrees of support and possibility allow to make decisions concerning the authenticity and/or trustworthiness of an unknown entity in an open network. The specification of a credential network and the subsequent computations will be illustrated by examples.
