Issues of trust in mobile social networks
• Accuracy of trust?• Measurement of trust (subjective rather than objective)
• Inferring trust from offline and online behaviour• Transfer of trust from offline to online and vice versa • Transitivity of trust, ie, if A trusts B and B trusts C, then should A trust C?
• Building trust in a social graph
