Distrust

Distrust is a way of not trusting any one because it has great risk or deep doubt.^[1] The phrase "Trust, but verify" refers specifically to distrust.

Research on high risk settings such as oil platforms, banking, medical surgery, aircraft piloting and nuclear powerplants has seen distrust as the same of failure because of the high consequences.^[2]
