Abstract

Credential networks have recently been introduced as a general model for distributed authenticity and trust management in open networks. This paper focuses on issues related to the implementation of credential networks. It presents a system called Caution, which consists of a simple language to define credential networks and an underlying machinery to perform the evaluation. The paper also describes the necessary algorithms in further details.
