Social network-based quantum trust management

Trust is a vital control mechanism in computer network and social network, but there is a big gap between web trust and social trust. To eliminate this difference to make web trust more similar to social trust, we proposed a theory of quantum trust based on quantum mechanics. And then, the framework of quantum trust computation is presented for resolving network security problems. Finally, we use a scenario to illustrate the need for a quantum trust management in a distributed environment.
