Abstract

Recent advances in networking technology have increasedthe potential for dynamic enterprise collaborationsbetween an open set of entities on a global scale. The securityof these collaborations is a major concern, and requiresnovel approaches suited to this new environment tobe developed. Trust management appears to be a promisingapproach. Due to the dynamic nature of these collaborations,dynamism in the formation, evolution and exploitationof trust is essential. In this paper we explore the propertiesof trust dynamics in this context. Trust is formedand evolves according to personal experience and recommendations.The properties of trust dynamics are expressedthrough a formal model of trust. Specific examples, basedon an e-purse application scenario are used to demonstratethese properties.
