Trust in ICT 3

• Technical solutions for trust provisioning

It covers some methodologies for specifying and measuring trust metrics. It also needs to develop protocol
specifications for trust provisioning, and mechanisms for data gathering, filtering, analytics, reasoning and
decision making.

• Trust provisioning for convergence applications
For trust provisioning, it is necessary to develop specific technical solutions applicable to convergence
applications (e.g., smart grid, healthcare, intelligent transport systems, and logistics, etc.).
• Trust provisioning for cloud computing
For trust provisioning, it is necessary to develop specific technical solutions applicable to the processing and
analysis of the large amount of data through cloud computing.

Additionally, we need to incorporate trust issue into related Study Groups’ (SGs) activities in ITU-T.
– SG17: As trust is tightly associated with security issues, a liaison with SG17 activities on security
matters is required.

– SG20: As the recently established SG20 is targeting IoT applications, services and platforms as well
as smart cities infrastructure, SG20 should consider trust in IoT.
– Others: Depending on specific topics, a collaborative work is needed, for instance, the identification
issue with SG2, trust in financial services with Focus Group on Digital Financial Services.

Finally, we need to closely collaborate with other SDOs and forums listed below.
– Existing security solutions: IETF, W3C
– IoT: oneM2M, FI-WARE, Open Connectivity Foundation, AllSeen Alliance
– Cloud Computing: TCG, Cloud Security Alliance
– Other groups: OTA

ITU-T has a responsibility to get a consensus for trust and knowledge information infrastructures. ITU-T may
have a leadership to introduce future knowledge societies by getting global consensus of future ICT
infrastructures. Standards for future all the industries as well as ICT industries are critical to realize knowledge
eco-societies.
Finally, ITU-T may get a chance to lead future knowledge societies in terms of standardization. As a top level
of formal standard body, ITU-T may initiate new work methods for future knowledge information
infrastructures including pre-standardization and conceptual framework. Also, ITU-T may have a leadership
to collaborate with private sectors and academia which are outside of ITU-T.
