This book provides an understanding of the core pillars of trust and reputation systems in electronic business settings. It presents the main existing methods and evaluates them from a managerial point of view. The book outlines the necessary technological environment without entangling the reader in too much technical detail. An implementation roadmap on a strategic and tactical level is given as well as guidance on linking trust and reputation management to existing information systems. Existing standards and solutions like recommendation systems, web services, semantic and big data technologies are put into context to prevent subverting efforts using false ratings, faked identities and other security issues. An outlook into recent and future developments completes the book.

The book deals with the management of information systems security and privacy, based on a model that covers technological, organizational and legal views. This is the basis for a focused and methodologically structured approach that presents "the big picture" of information systems security and privacy, while targeting managers and technical profiles. The book addresses principles in the background, regardless of a particular technology or organization. It enables a reader to suit these principles to an organization's needs and to implement them accordingly by using explicit procedures from the book. Additionally, the content is aligned with relevant standards and the latest trends. Scientists from social and technical sciences are supposed to find a framework for further research in this broad area, characterized by a complex interplay between human factors and technical issues.
