Actors and their incentives

• Firms engage in digital transactions to reducecosts 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 satisfyevolving 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 knowand rely on what was donein us: RFID tags for health care and automatic payment …

… not using technology for technology’s sake!

Internet.

The Collaborative CircleGovernment, 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 cross-certification;

• Difficulties in building technical interoperability at application level, in the use of cryptographictechniques, 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 e-integrity 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 Micro-

finance• Analysis transaction costs in international remittances and micro-

credit, and how ICT-based solutions could be developed and be 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 careservices, notably in rural areas- associated competence, awareness and attitudespects, in care systems and at individual level

• Identification of precise response mechanisms, empowering local communities and individuals to pullICT for better quality

• Specific task: - addressing elderly care through the establishment of multifunctional community centres for senior citizensand relatives, - connections to rural hospitals, links to urban centres- exchange of researchers and experts;

Pilot: Authentication and ThirdParty 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 actual transactions.

The Collaborative CircleGovernment, 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.
