Abstract:	The primary objective in this project is to formulate and examine a martingale-based trust framework. The goal is to develop strategies for probing the links that could exist within a trust model to determine if the vector of link states is in a specified set of good states. One example for the set of good network states is the set of network states for which there is a working path from a source node to a terminal node. Another example is the set of network states such that a majority of the links have state one. The links in this model could represent electronic or mechanical components or possibly humans in a complex system.
