Summary:
Online Social Networks provide many possibilities to people to make new contacts all over the world. Nevertheless, the derived friendship relations are usually less confident compared to the real-life friendships due to missing possibilities to built up trust. Therefore, a method is introduced to derive trust from user activities in the network. A global trust judgement is processed considering the mutual influences of all network users and stochastically being confirmed by randomly chosen groups of users. Simulation results show the power of the approach.
