The basic building blocks of trust are presented and motivated. Each presented problem is addressed and formulas facilitating rightful interpretation are given.
The paper presents some ideas how to approach the problems faced when rightfully interpreting information gathered from anonymous collaborates in a scalable manner by pointing out the basics of them.
This paper depicts ideas as illustrations that are easy to understand and give an overview of the fundamentals on which to conduct further research.
The paper provides a conceptual discussion of the need for trust in open networks.
