The Role of Identity in Pervasive Computational Trust

Abstract

A central element in the human notion of trust is to identify whom or what is under consideration. In the digital world, this is harder to achieve due to more or less trustworthy technical infrastructure between interacting parties. However, we argue that uncertain identification may enhance privacy protection. We present the role of identity and how identity can be managed in a trust-based security framework, in order to balance these concerns, and present a discussion of our design and implementation choices.

“…This phenomenon happens despite computational trust research emerging in 2000 as a need to provide a technical-centred and automated way to tackle the trust factors in system design, i.e., to authenticate trustee's reputation and credibility [41]. Ultimately, and to avoid the past mistake of forward-push regulations, trust measures that ultimately are technically implemented without considering the tensions between the current state of creating new technical innovations, profit-oriented deployment, and its socio-technical implications across societies.…”
