LaBT (Locally-based Trust)

Locally-based Trust (LaBT) is a security concept where trust is established primarily within a specific local environment. It means that within a certain organization or community, members trust each other based on shared context, relationships, or known history, rather than relying solely on global or centralized authorities. This approach enhances security and efficiency because decisions and access controls are managed close to the users and resources they relate to. In essence, LaBT leverages local knowledge and relationships to create a trusted environment tailored to the needs of the specific group.
