Atom feedISOC Retreat on “Trust and the Future of the Internet”
The ISOC Board of Trustees is pleased to publish an initial report on the issue of Trust and Identity. The topic has been selected as one of ISOC’s core Initiatives and significant efforts are planned in several key areas. This document, Trust and the Future of the Internet (PDF: 208KB), focusses on the subject of Trust within the context of network enabled relationships, a topic initiated at a Retreat in October 2007. The following areas are explored in more detail:
- Advancing Internet architecture by supporting the implementation of open trust mechanisms throughout the full cycle of research, standardization, development and deployment.
- Strengthening the current Internet model by focusing on the mitigation of social, policy, and economic drivers that may hinder development and deployment of trust enabling technologies.
- Facilitating an end-user’s ability to manage personal data and ensure personal security by elevating “Identity” to a core issue in network research and standards development.
