TrustRank, as defined in a whitepaper by Jan Pederson (Yahoo!), Hector Garcia-Molina (Stanford), and Zoltan Gyongyi (Stanford), located at http://www.vldb.org/conf/2004/RS15P3.PDF, is a system of techniques to determine if a page is reputable or if it is spam.

TrustRank is designed to help identify [...]

Mod_Rewrite is a set of functions built into .htaccess, an Apache module which allows for all sorts of nifty tricks with URL’s, Error Pages, etc.
Mod_Rewrite specifically is used mostly for changing dynamic links, such as:
http://www.example.com/shop.php?cat=4&id=123
