Systems and methods for determining trust levels for computing components

This invention describes a computer system designed to assess the trustworthiness of individual parts within a software application. It stores details about these software components and how they are linked, then calculates a trust score. This score is based on how similar a component's function is to other trusted parts, or how wide-ranging its capabilities are for specific purposes.

Why it matters: Since 2017, the widespread adoption of microservices and open-source components, coupled with a rise in software supply chain attacks, has made automated trust assessment for software parts essential. Modern AI/ML capabilities, which were less mature in 2017, now offer powerful tools to analyze code and component relationships, making the detailed trust calculations described here more practical and impactful.
