In this report the objective is outsourcing of spam filtering to other
machines in order to save resources. Doing this is accomplished by
using trust management and Bayesian networks. Trust management is
analyzed in order to model aspects regarding trust in the Bayesian
networks. A system, TrustOne, making outsourcing of spam filtering
possible is designed, in which decision making is handled by Bayesian
networks incorporated with trust management. Thus being able to handle
risks and specify the confidence required to trust a machine to do
spam filtering on the behalf of another machine. The resulting system
encircle the source of the spam with machines running spam filters, by
using outsourcing of spam filtering. This results in less network
bandwidth usage and less resources used on machines in order to run
spam filter.
