Successful e-commerce user experience design depends on a large number of factors. This paper focuses on consumers’ acceptance of and trust in an e-commerce system, based on the transaction’s value and perceived risk. The model of trust for ecommerce (MoTEC) by Egger (2000) provides a framework making explicit factors likely to affect customer trust. For each model component, design principles ...

The lack of stable node identity is the central problem in peer-to-peer network security. Based on the general characteristics of trust between social networking and P2P network, a trust model and an approach of evaluation trust in P2P network are proposed. An algorithm for computing the trust values is put forward based on the relationship among hosts, nodes and pseudonyms. The analyses prove ...

In this study, we propose a research model examining how self-efficacy affects consumer trust in web vendors, and how self-efficacy and consumer trust influence online consumers’ intentions to purchase from a certain web vendor. In particular, we separate the concept of self-efficacy into two types, general self-efficacy and domain-specific self-efficacy (i.e., online transaction self-efficacy)...

OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to investigate the effect of trust on work stress. Trust can be classified into three dimensions; social trust, institutional trust, and trust in others. The relationship between work stress and trust is regarded as having three components. First, trust has an influence on work stressors as an antecedent variable; secondly, trust modifies the effect of the va...

Sharing sensitive information across security domains is an important requirement for knowledge intensive collaborative work, but such sharing may impose risks on security and privacy integrity. Research has increasingly recognized the role of trust in minimizing the risk of information sharing across untrusted or unknown entities. To this extent, trust negotiations[1][3][15][20] have emerged a...

The major challenge faced by wireless sensor networks is security. Because of dynamic and collaborative nature of sensor networks the connected sensor devices makes the network unusable. To solve this issue, a trust model is required to identify malicious, selfish and compromised nodes. It supports the decision making processes in wireless sensor networks such as pre key-distribution, data aggr...

The rapid growth of communication technologies in the past years has enabled development of collaborative peer-to-peer applications. The reliable collaborative application must implement some methods which help to detect malicious entities and avoid collaboration with them. Such systems are based on building trust relationships between entities; their design is difficult due to a decentralized ...
