Methodology

Strengths

Limitations

11

Direct observation

Simple and efficient

Limited to direct interactions

12

Indirect evaluation

Expands trust evaluation scope

Relies on third-party feedback

13

Data-centric evaluation

Focuses on data reliability

May not capture all malicious behaviors

14

Hybrid model

Comprehensive and robust

Complexity in implementation
