trust computation

Trust computation is a way for systems or people to evaluate how reliable or dependable someone or something is. It involves assessing past interactions, behaviors, or signals to determine the likelihood that they will act consistently and honestly in the future. This process might incorporate factors like reputation, performance history, or feedback from others. Essentially, it's a structured way of quantifying confidence in someone’s or something’s trustworthiness, helping make informed decisions about whether to cooperate or rely on them.
