The traditional centralized trusting mechanism does not meet the requirements of the modern P2P network, so it is necessary to establish a distributed trusting mechanism to strengthen the system’s reliability. Factors including time attenuation factor, interactive frequency factor, interactive size factor and average online time factor markedly influence the trust of the nodes in a P2P network. This paper defines the precise effects of these factors on trust and proposes a comprehensive trust model and global trust model based on direct trust and indirect trust.
