The concept of trust is central to the formulation of an authentication mechanism for secure client-server communication.Recently, different trust models have been proposed based on varying definitions of trust.In this paper, the meaning of trust is explored in the context of public key infrastructures for certificate authentication.Also the articulation of trust in various prevalent trust models is analyzed.It can be seen that trust models have arisen in the context of different secure communication needs.We attempt to relate the implication of trust in such trust models with the sense of trust in public key infrastructures.
