Learning an entity's trust model and risk tolerance to calculate its risk-taking score

A server device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving, via a network, a request from a client device for a trust score representative of a degree of trust between a requesting entity and a target entity, the request comprising requesting entity identification information identifying the requesting entity and target entity identification information identifying the target entity;
• determining the trust score based on the request, comprising:
• determining a baseline trust score for the target entity based on the target entity identification information;
• querying one or more network accessible data sources for defined trustworthiness information associated with the requesting entity based on the requesting entity identification information, wherein the defined trustworthiness information reflects a propensity for the requesting entity to trust other entities;
• determining an adjustment trust score for the requesting entity based on the defined trustworthiness information;
• and
• determining the trust score based on the baseline trust score for the target entity and the adjustment trust score;
• and
• providing the trust score to the client device via the network based on the determining the trust score.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving a request for a trust score representative of a degree of trust between a requesting entity and a target entity, the request comprising requesting entity identification information identifying the requesting entity and target entity identification information identifying the target entity;
• determining the trust score based on the request, comprising:
• determining a baseline trust score for the target entity based on the target entity identification information;
• querying one or more network accessible data sources for defined trustworthiness information associated with the requesting entity based on the requesting entity identification information, wherein the defined trustworthiness information reflects a propensity for the requesting entity to trust other entities;
• determining an adjustment trust score for the requesting entity based on the defined trustworthiness information;
• and
• determining the trust score based on a baseline trust score for the target entity and the adjustment trust score;
• and
• providing a representation of the trust score to the requesting entity in response to the determining the trust score.
