Seed trust (aka pre-trust) gives EigenTrust rankings both Sybil-resistance and their "flavors". Seed trust works by letting ranking designers put intentional bias in whose trust opinions to boost and by how much. Ranking designers should choose a good seed trust to achieve an important balance. Seed trust should be limited to those "prudent" peers who place their direct trust sparingly so that their close neighbors (both direct and indirect) in the network is are unlikely to trust sybils, but there should still be enough seed peers to "light up" the majority of the trust network. (A peer is "lit up" if there's a recursive trust path from at least one seed peer.)
