Just got Firefox working with Card Selector now trying to find OpenID enabled sites that can use it..... It sucks being on the bleeding edge. BUT IT WILL HAPPEN!!!
I have faith just like I did when I started banging away about BlueTooth PAN's
They did arrive just 10 years after I wanted them to!!

Comments! on previous posts
I have left them as a fitting demonstration of the vagaries of e-Trust!
It appears that this blog site does not conform to one of the, as yet un-written, principles of e-Trust.
Namely: Any system that mediates e-Trust will have default settings that are aimed at achieving the highest level of e-trust.
The settings in question were related to the manner in which comments were allowed.
(Alternativley on setting up the site I was not warned of the consequences of changing the settings! I honestly cannot remember which!)

e-Trust: An impossible Goal?
If we define e-Trust as that trust that can be electronically mediated between two individuals or corporate entities.
The challenge is can models be developed that allow the development of an electronic environment, that is conducive to the mediation of trust?
Trust alone is such a fun (read "complex") concept. "e-Trust" raises the problem another power.
I see this as a key future challenge, we are fast moving to an electronically mediated world, and we have as yet failed to develop the trust models to keep up.
My question to you is who should be working on this problem to help us achieve this goal? If it is indeed solvable....
I start from the position that those that create the need for, an means of, electronic trust mediation are responsible.
The desired outcome is Information Quality Management, a seemingly as yet little explored area of Computation
I see it as a discipline in it's own right....
The weak description on Wikipedia is clue enough!
Apparently the discipline is being claimed by
librarians...
Librarians are clearly one of the historical professions involved in the discipline of Information Quality Management, and will be able to help us address one part of the problem. One might ask though, do librarians have the formal training in, or understanding of, the complex system theories that are needed to underpin Information Quality Management? At the very least there will need to be a join of disciplnes...
There are many interested parties:
The principals
Individuals
Corporations
- Sellers of Products and Services
- Buyers of Products and Services
Government
- Police
- Legislative
- Customs
- Tax
Academics
- Computational <--- My thought for where the buck stops...
- Economical
- Sociological
Librarians
My question is how will the right academic disciplines come together to ahieve this goal. For after all, it cannot be too long before all of our future economical value will depend on it!!!

e-Trust 1 = The Network
The first cornerstone of trust: The Trust Network
Top Level: PERSONAL
I know them
They have never done anything bad to me,
They have done many good things for me
Second Level: VISIBLE
I can see them
They appear to have not done anything bad
They appear to have done many good things
Third Level ANONYMOUS
I don't know them (and they don't know me)
They can't do anything bad to me
Top Level: PERSONAL

e-Trust a definition
I have decided that e-Trust is a unit of Measure, the sum of which is a sort of Barometer of Public Trust of the e-Space.
There are many things that affect this Measure from the butterfly flapping it's wings over Madagascar, to the latest version of your favorite worm or virus. At the time of writing the author of MyDoom-O must be going round with a smug look on their face, if only he understood that he just put another nail in the freedom that we can experience in the e-Space.
For he just negatively impacted "e-Trust".
One posit is that when the sum of e-Trust falls below a specific but as yet unknown level the "powers that be" will feel compelled to react and implement what may feel to some like draconian measures to bolster "e-Trust".
Did you know that Microsoft is working with the UK Government to develop ways of bolstering e-Trust, as we blog?
My question for today:
What ARE the types of activities that impact e-Trust, postively and negatively?
