The most important functionality of trust enforcement is to guarantee compliance
between trust behaviors and their corresponding governing policies stating users' trust
intentions. This part includes enforcement of trust intentions, definition of trust
intentions, revocation of privileges, checking of the validity of identity information
and trust knowledge, and privacy protection.
To measure this network topology, it is important to count the number of
compliance failures (or false revocations) within a system running for a certain period
of time, and to examine a system's capability to resolve trust intention conflicts with
or without human involvement. For example, if two trust intentions describe the
constraints for the same trust behavior, the system should either be able to determine
which one has superior authority or allow the domain administrator to decide which
one is to be used. Thus two questions below need to be answered to measure this
functionality.
