1) What does this meant by the following statements?
Trust is not associative (non-symmetric)
Trust is not associative (non-symmetric) - this means if an individual trusts someone, the individual they trust may not necessarily trust them back. In terms of buyers and sellers; the amount of trust for each party, isn't always the same. The sellers may have a high amount of trust that the buyer will provide the money or good agreed on for the good they are selling. While they buyer may have less trust that the seller will provide the goods or service agreed upon.

Trust is not transitive
Trust is not transitive - this means that the relationship extended to one domain is extended automatically to any other domain that is trusted by that domain.

Trust is always between exactly 2 parties
Trust needs to involve two parties. This means trust cannot happen without two parties being involved.
Trust will involve either direct trust or recommender trust
Direct trust is created by the free and deliberate act of the parties and involved. Recommended trust is placing trust in an individual because a third party indicated they were trustworthy.

2a) Have a look at the following websites. What are some of the elements that have been incorporated to increase your trust in the sites? If there are also some aspects which decrease your level of trust describe them as well.
http://www.eBay.com.au
eBay - is trustworthy because it has a buyer protection policy that protects customers from being ripped off by fellow members. This allows members to use the website with confidence and not have to worry about being a victim of fraud.
The ANZ is the well know Bank in the Australia, the Anz online customer service or online banking service is very reliable to allow purchase online or others money transfer activities. Because the Bank have the good security access for the customer who will believe and trust the bank service security.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/
Think Geek - is also a very trustworthy website and they take customer security very seriously. At the bottom of their homepage is a customer certified badge that indicates they are a trustworthy organisation to do business with.
http://www.paypal.com.au/
PayPal - is a highly secure website because it is extremely professional and has a respected reputation all over the world. The "Security" section of the site is very thorough and illustrates that PayPal don't take the issue of customer security lightly.
2b) Find a web site yourself that you think looks untrustworthy.
I think this website looks untrustworthy as it has a very basic design and the prices they have advertised look too good to be true. I would not feel confident purchasing a flight on this website because there is no major airlines displayed on the site and even the website logo looks amateur.
