Game theory approach

From TrustLet, a free, collaborative project for collecting and analyzing information about trust metrics.

Trust can be approached as a clever strategy for a certain class of games: a game theory approach of trust. See also Game theory.

Trust strategy is useful when:

• Collaboration between two or more players is involved, usually this is called a non zero sum game.
• Players can recognize each other
• Player interact many times, not just once, that fact allows creation of alliances between players.
