Abstract
This article gives a brief overview of Aniketos, a large EU-funded Integrated project [1], funded under the 7th Framework programme, that aims to establish and maintain trustworthiness and secure behaviour in todays constantly changing service environment. It is looking at ways to assess what level of trust should exist between entities. This offers users a fast and accurate way to decide if they can depend on an on-line service or data source. This automatic assessment will also provide ways to analyse and share information on preventing new threats and vulnerabilities.
