This paper gives a general definition of trust as a trustor’s belief in the trustworthiness of a trustee. The definition is analysed to uncover the variables in the relationship, including restrictions on the accredited representation of the trustee’s intentions, capacities and motivations, and on the contextual limits to the trustor’s belief. The essential problem of trust is outlined, linking trust and trustworthiness, and mistrust and untrustworthiness are also characterised. Mechanisms for propagating trust are discussed, as are the connections between trust, uncertainty, vulnerability and risk. Societal mechanisms for extending local trust (based on personal acquaintance) to global trust (across society, including placing trust in unknown people), such as contracts, institutions and social roles are outlined, and the importance of confidence (in a system) for global trust is argued. Finally the moral aspects of trust and trustworthiness are explored.
