This technical report provides an overview of trust provisioning for future trusted ICT infrastructures and
services. More specifically, this technical report covers the following:
 The importance and necessity of trust toward knowledge societies;
 Concepts and key features of trust;
 Key challenges and technical issues for trusted ICT infrastructures;

 Architectural overviews of trusted ICT infrastructures;
 Trust based ICT service models;
 Summary of use cases for trusted ICT infrastructures;
 Strategies for future standardization on trust.

3 Terms and definitions

3.1 Terms defined elsewhere

This Technical Report uses the following terms defined elsewhere:
3.1.1 Cloud computing [b-ITU-T X.1601]: A paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic
pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with on-demand self-service provisioning and administration.
3.1.2 Internet of Things [b-ITU-T Y.2060]: A global infrastructure for the information society, enabling
advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving
interoperable information and communication technologies.
NOTE 1 – Through the exploitation of identification, data capture, processing and communication
capabilities, the IoT makes full use of things to offer services to all kinds of applications, whilst ensuring that
security and privacy requirements are fulfilled.
NOTE 2 – From a broader perspective, the IoT can be perceived as a vision with technological and societal
implications.
