Trusty Mechanisms In Social Networks

Social Networks have gained major popularity and they are part of everyday life for many people in the world. Social networks are usually based on the idea that you create a net-work of trust by friending with people you trust. The trusty mechanisms of social networks could have applications in other websites e.g. when you need to evaluate if a person is genuine and trustworthy and not part of a joint fraud. Also trusty mechanisms have applications in social networks them selves. This paper explores the trusty mechanisms in social networks and their applications outside and inside the net-work. We evaluate the current possibilities and shortcom-ings of social networks.
