It currently states: "One or more simulators that completely trust each other, operated by one single authority." Does it really need to be operated by a single authority? Could I not say I fully and completely trust sims operated by John Smith and/or he fully and completely trusts sims operated by me? --[[User:DaveCoyle|DaveCoyle]] 11:40, 20 April 2009 (UTC) | It currently states: "One or more simulators that completely trust each other, operated by one single authority."

Basically, I think what you're getting at is that each simulator, or each seed trust domain, can extend trust to other trust domains, and this is not transitive: you trust W, but you don't necessarily trust the sims that W trusts.

Sounds like multiple trust domains to me. --[[User:DaveCoyle|DaveCoyle]] 11:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC) | Sounds like multiple trust domains to me. --[[User:DaveCoyle|DaveCoyle]] 11:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC) | ||

Simulator Trust Domain definition
It currently states: "One or more simulators that completely trust each other, operated by one single authority." Does it really need to be operated by a single authority? Could I not say I fully and completely trust sims operated by John Smith and/or he fully and completely trusts sims operated by me? --DaveCoyle 11:40, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes, you are right. I changed the definition. Basically, I think what you're getting at is that each simulator, or each seed trust domain, can extend trust to other trust domains, and this is not transitive: you trust W, but you don't necessarily trust the sims that W trusts. Needs more thinking. --Diva 07:50, 20 April 2009 (PST)
OSGrid and trust domains
There seems to be continued disagreement regarding OSGrid and trust domains, so let's discuss it here. Charles, you removed the sentence "For example, OSGrid has, by nature and intent, several hundred simulator trust domains." I disagree with its removal, and based on the -dev list thread everyone doesn't seem to be on the same page on this point. So let's talk it out.
I am a region operator on OSGrid. I fully trust sims operated by myself. I fully trust sims operated by a handful of others who I believe will not do anything nefarious to me, my communications, my inventory, etc. I neither trust nor don't trust sims operated by most others, as I neither know them nor have reason to believe they'll do bad things. I do not trust some regions (e.g. DNCH).
Sounds like multiple trust domains to me. --DaveCoyle 11:31, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
