Think-Trust

Investigating Trust, Security, Dependability, Privacy and Identity from ICT and Societal Perspectives.

Think-Trust is a co-ordination action project, it started on January 1st 2008, receives €580,000 funding and will have a 30 month duration.

Objective:

As the Information Society continues to develop and to grow, requirements for new intelligent and user-friendly ICT security environments will emerge, the Think-Trust Project will begin the process of mapping or modelling these new ICT environments with the goal to define new areas of work in ICT Security Research, further EU's strategic thinking and positioning in the field, and influence the subsequent ICT technology developments in the coming years. For this, Think-Trust has set up an ICT Security Research Advisory Board that will bring together the opinions and requirements of a comprehensive range of stakeholders with regard to trust, security and dependability issues in emerging ICT environments.

The project and its Advisory Board, Research and Innovation for SEcurity, Privacy and Trustworthiness in the Information Society, (RISEPTIS) will be supported by targeted working groups from the stakeholder and research community that will address focussed issues and questions. It is envisaged that initially, the working groups will centre on two prominent and complementary aspects of ICT trust, security and dependability:

(i) Dependability and Trust in the Future Internet and
(ii) Privacy and Trust in the Information Society.
