Trust in ICT                                                3


            6.4     Relationship between knowledge and trust

            To  understand  trust,  it  is  required  to  analyse  the  collected  data  from  entities,  extract  the  necessary
            information for trust, understand the information, and then create the trust-related knowledge.




















                                                                           2
                                             Figure 6-3 – Knowledge and Trust
            The social and economic value of data is mainly reaped during two moments: first when data is transformed
            into knowledge (gaining insights) and then when it is used for decision making (taking action). The knowledge
            is  accumulated  by  individuals  or  systems  through  data  analytics  over  time.  So  far  data  processing,
            management and interpretation for awareness and understanding have been considered as fundamental
            processes for obtaining the knowledge. As shown in left hand side of Figure 6-3, trust is strengthened from
            accumulated knowledge and it mainly has a significant role as a belief between knowledge (i.e., awareness
            and  understanding)  and  action.  It  means  that  the  expectation  process  for  trust  should  be  additionally
            considered before decision making. As shown in the right hand side of Figure 6-3, trust should be further
            considered to the whole process from data collection to decision making.


            7       Features, Challenges and Technical Issues for Trusted ICT infrastructures

            7.1     Trusted ICT infrastructure

            Figure 7-1 shows high-level overview for a trusted ICT infrastructure. A physical domain mainly consists of
            physical devices which interwork with each other through information and communication networks. A cyber
            domain is responsible for the delivery, storage and processing of data and information. A social domain has
            become  popular  to  people  for  sharing  and  showing  their  knowledge  and  become  a  new  medium  for
            connecting people in cyberspace.
