Pymmetry - Python Trust Metrics

Pymmetry has a Maximum Flow (Ford-Faulkersson) implementation at its heart, which is used to provide an easy means to evaluate Trust Metric Certifications, in python.

Trust Metric Evaluations, essentially, are Cascading (or, Hierarchical) Access Control Lists. Pymmetry provides an easy way to integrate Trust Metrics into any project.

Practical applications for Trust Metrics include Domain Name Registration protection, Web-site Forum / content access rights and privileges evaluation, and any other potentially hostile environment in which it is necessary to distinguish trusted from untrusted entities, taking into consideration the opinions of entities in the field.
