Questions

 1) What does this meant by the following statements?

Trust is not associative (non-symmetric)

This means that the trust is not necessarily the same on both sides of the transaction or any other situation. A simple example, I believe my wife remembered my mother's birthday card. This does not mean that my wife would believe that I remember after another to her mother. In an example of a commercial is, the seller may believe that the buyer will be the transaction and transfer of funds of the product or service, but the buyer may not have the same number of believe, the seller will provide what they promise.

 Trust is not transitive

I believe that what is the meaning of this sentence, don't believe the association from one side to move to the next. For example, if a trust wholesalers that does not mean they will automatically trust retailers and wholesalers sell their products.

 Trust is always between exactly 2 parties

This sentence means any transaction trust between the two sides of the transaction. For example, in a manufacturers sell to wholesalers, wholesalers to retailers, retailers and wholesalers to provide goods only needs to trust. The same retailers may not even know the manufacturer, the manufacturer located in between trust and wholesalers.

 Trust will involve either direct trust or recommender trust

Recommendation trust is a trust third party. For example, if the manufacturer trust wholesalers, they would recommend them to another manufacturer, assuming that the manufacturers trust suggested they would most likely recommend trust.

http://www.paypal.com.au

PayPal, is a highly secure web site, because it is very professional and a respected reputation in the world. The website "security" very thoroughly, the PayPal easily do not put the customer security problems.

2b) Find a web site yourself that you think looks untrustworthy.

I hold the opinion the website looks is not reliable, because it has a very basic design and advertising the price seems too good to be hardly worthy of belief. I don't have the confidence to buy flight on this site, because there is no large airline website shows, even logo website looks amateurish.
