Abstract:
The concept of trust has been studied significantly by researchers in philosophy, psychology and
sociology; research in these fields show that trust is a subjective view that varies greatly among
people, situations and environments. This very subjective characteristic of trust however, has been
largely overlooked within trust management used in the online social network (OSN) scenario. To
date, trust management mechanisms in OSNs have been limited to access control methods that
take a very simplified view of trust and ignore various fundamental characteristics of trust. Hence
they fail to provide a personalized manner to manage trust but rather provide a ?one size fits all?
style of management. In this paper we present findings which indicate that trust management for
OSNs needs to be modified and enriched and outline the main issues that are being addressed in
our current implementation work.
