Trust transferability among similar contexts

ABSTRACT

Trust is a fundamental concern in electronic transactions and behavior of people are influenced by the situation. Motivated by that we present a state-of-the-art survey of context representation in trust management and provide main directions along which research efforts have been done. We propose a generalized model which considers different aspects of the relationship between context-awareness and trust management.
