【 摘 要 】

This document discusses extensions to the pricing structures presented in [2] for the provision of IT services that ensure trust without requiring repeated interactions between service providers and users. We extend [2] by providing theorems demonstrating the existence of incentive-compatible mechanisms for a broad class of expected costs to the user, and also introduce a notion of fairness with which to constrain the space of acceptable mechanisms. 10 Pages
