Every year a number of the top graduates of the GCHQ accredited MSc Information Security programme contributes valuable white papers to the Information Security industry through a thesis series hosted by Computer Weekly.

In the ninth article - "Safety Meshing: Hybrid Trust Models in Social Networks for End-to-End Encryption" - of our Computer Weekly 2017 Royal Holloway Information Security thesis series, Max Kington considers an approach to enhancing trust in social networks which is a combination of centralised and distributed trust systems. 

The full MSc thesis from which the article is distilled is published on the Information Security Group's Technical Reports webpage.
