Abstract: Trust is a pervasive and essential driver for sustainable interactions between social entities and the functioning of a society as a whole. Trust, from the decisional perspective, has been summarised as 'the act of choosing to put oneself into a situation of risk, where the outcomes are dependent on the actions of another' [18]. Trust is observed to be contextual, subjective, idiosyncratic and often only really understood from the perspective of an individual [8]. The term trust system, coined in [23], is 'where computational tools, humans and trust reasoning capabilities come together to accomplish something where trust is an enabling factor'. In software supply chains and value chains, adequate measures do not exit beyond attempts to enforce trust through cryptographic verification, in order to faciliate stakeholders to make trust deliberations about the entities in supply and value chains. In this position paper, we propose the blueprint of a framework for the assessment of perceived trustworthiness in software supply chains such that a trustor is empowered, as opposed to enforced, to make decisions based on their trust deliberations.
