A Normative Multiagent Trust Framework for Electronic Payment Analysis


Vincent, O. R., Adekoya A. F. and

Lack of collaboration among transacting agents is a major hurdle to e-payment trust. The belief, goals and desires of agents in a payment system need to be followed with a level of trust. During the process of interaction among agents, trust is required in other to execute the best goal without violating any norm. In order to bring cooperation among transaction agents in payment system, this paper presents a multiagent trust model which uses a combination of Tan and Theon model for contract negotiation to ensure trust among agents. The model adopts creation of obligations by agents which is based on the mental attitude of each agent comprising of beliefs, goals and desires; the association of sanctions to obligations to ensure the execution of the best goal without violating of any norm and finally, addition of controls to enforce sanctions. It was observed that, despite the rules set up in the normative multiagent system, there still exist agents violators, which were not allowed to make transactions. For a successful payment transaction, the norms existing among the interactive system must be observed.
