Page 6 - Trust in ICT 2017

With the progress of trust standardization work and successful completion of the above two standards, ITU-T
members are continuously contributing to develop companion standards on trust. There are several on-going
work on Y.trustworthy-media (Trustworthy smart media services), Y.trustnet-fw (Trustworthy networking),
etc. From the perspectives of standardization, trust should be quantitatively and/or qualitatively calculated
and measured, which is used to evaluate the values of physical components, value-chains among multiple
stakeholders, and human behaviors including decision making. Accordingly, a new work on trust index to
evaluate and quantify trustworthiness has been started.

With the help of trust standardization, future ICT infrastructures will require more reliable techniques to cope
with the risks of knowledge sharing towards a knowledge society. Building and validating trusted
relationships will be contingent on trust-related information and its processing for supporting trustworthy
services and applications.

Ideas from members are welcome to stimulate trust standardization activities in the future, taking into
account key technical, policy and governance issues through global collaboration with related
standardization bodies.
