Trust Architecture

Definition

Trust architecture defines the design and implementation of systems that establish, manage, and verify trust relationships between participants in a network. In decentralized environments, this often involves cryptographic protocols, reputation systems, and verifiable credentials that reduce reliance on central authorities. It outlines how entities prove their authenticity and integrity, enabling secure and reliable interactions. The goal is to build confidence in digital transactions and data exchanges without requiring prior knowledge of all parties.
