A Comparison of Trust Models

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

This article presents a comparative study of trust models, a term often used without a well-defined specification. Nevertheless, most automated enterprise processes rely on it. Examples include Automated Border Control gates, e-Government systems such as Tax-On-Web, electronic banking and money transfer and many more. We first present a short introduction to trust models. We then propose key terms to describe how trust can be established, and illustrate how these terms can be applied. Finally we compare the trust models created by ICAO PKD, EU eIDAS, US FICAM and Bitcoin, and present a conclusion.
