Actors and their incentives
• Firms engage in digital transactions to reduce
costs by becoming more efficient or to
increase revenues by increasing sales
• Governments strive for improved service
delivery, reduced costs or information uptake
• Citizens/Consumers – consume more services
more efficiently, gain opportunities to satisfy
evolving needs: survival, material well-being,
security, health & wellness, use of time.
Require privacy, integrity, trust
Empowering and Ubiquitous …
• empowering people through a digital environment,
enabling articulation of needs, pulling responses,
bridging digital and real world
around us: cars, toys, home
automation …
on us: watches, clothing …
between us, who is who, can know
and rely on what was done
Internet
.
in us: RFID tags for health care
and automatic payment …
… not using technology for
technology’s sake!
The Collaborative Circle
Government, Business and Academia need interface but also distinct roles, in
support of functioning markets. Also - for end-users such as consumers and
citizens – their needs and rights need to be expressed, recognized and enforced
in the digital world, just as they are in the non-digital.

Fragmentation
• The Internet inherently insecure – no verifiability,
reliability, traceability;
• Complexity and costs of solutions;
• Deficiency in standards for interoperability and crosscertification;
• Difficulties in building technical interoperability at
application level, in the use of cryptographic
techniques, certificates, smart card technologies, etc.
• Legal position of the individual end-user is weak.
Identity is an important part of, and
represents a vital starting point, in a
business exchange

GTC Evolution
• In the markets: Digital sphere sprawling growth, towards
chaotic field and fragmentation of solutions, need of
initiative to search for coherent playing field conducive to
security, privacy, trust and integrity for the individual user;
• In international debate: Beside OECD, ITU, WISIS, etc.,
consultations and debate at international conferences,
ASEM, Digital Opportunity Congress, EU-CEN, OECD, IKED,
on GTC-initiative;
• Concrete formation: International steering committee;
feasibility study and preparatory launch of GTC; Pilot
projects, launch of mechanisms in support of security and
authentication.
• Further substantive agendas for GTC: Instruments for
validation, third party-notary public functions and eintegrity for the individual; financial transactions and
money flows; health issues, etc.
Global Trust Center Roles
• Assessment, analysis, identification and diffusion of best
practices in addressing digital security and trust;
• Coverage of, and combining, legal, economic and
organisational aspects of e-security, e-integrity and
authentication, at the global level;
• Champion strategies for overcoming fragmentation in the
provision of global trust services, focus on paths for
enabling interoperability;
• Summoning of relevant stakeholders across geographical
regions as well as sectors to address priority issuse (e.g.,
health, remittances);
• A clearing house for authentication systems;
• Championing third party trust-enhancing mechanisms.
Application project (ASEM): ICT for
Reliance in Remittances and Microfinance

implemented.
•
Formation of consortium of stakeholders (remittance receivers
and senders, developers of m-banking, micro/macro payments,
remote/proximity services and stationary/mobile infrastructures,
diversified m-services investment promotion network suppliers
and operators and hardware and data storage providers
concerned with future-safe business models, actors offering
security- and authentication enhancing mechanisms), for
identification of technological, economic and organizational
opportunities to overcome inefficiencies.
•
Launching of pilot projects to advance m-banking activities to
underpin remittances and micro-funding, notably in rural areas.
•
Knowledge exchange for dissemination of best practice in
requirements for empowering users for the effective articulation of
preferences
Application project (ASEM): ICT and
Senior Health
• Analysis of issues as regards:
- the availability and diffusion of health and care
services, notably in rural areas
- associated competence, awareness and attitude
spects, in care systems and at individual level
• Identification of precise response mechanisms,
empowering local communities and individuals to pull
ICT for better quality
• Specific task:
- addressing elderly care through the establishment of
multifunctional community centres for senior citizens
and relatives,
- connections to rural hospitals, links to urban centres
- exchange of researchers and experts;
Pilot: Authentication and Third
Party Solutions
• A spokesperson for the individual’s rights and integrity in
each process where the non-digital world goes digital, in all
aspects of society;
• A modern modified notary public function in e-transactions,
advancing e-traceability and verifiability solutions,
empowering the individual in digital transactions;
• Combining a log/memory function with service capabilities
for the event of dispute without interruption in the integrity
of the individual end-user over time and subject to a global
integrity policy;
• Meeting with other needs to present or evaluate the validity
of the information provided and agreed upon at the time of
