Abstract

Systems and methods for managing trust relationships. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving an indication of an in-person transaction between a first user and a second user; calculating, for the first user, a trust score associated with the second user, the trust score based, at least in part, upon the indication; and storing a record of the trust score. For example, the in-person transaction may include a face-to-face meeting.
