Trust & Standards
1. Summary of report 2. 1. Purpose 2. There are two main purposes of this report: the first is to review the current standards and specifications which exist or are being developed, which are relevant for the establishment of Europe-wide trusted services; the second is to put forward a roadmap for future standards development work. 3. Status## The area of standards development is always changing: existing standards are improved; new standards are introduced. This report refers to the state of standards and specifications activities at the beginning of April 1997. The report has been produced following review of work in a number of standards related organisations: * o International Standards Organisation (ISO) o Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) o European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) o European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).## The environment in which standards are produced and the motivations for standards have been considered.The work of a number of industry groups has also been reviewed.A number of projects funded by the European Commission have also been reviewed, in order to identify possible action to bring their results into the standards area. 1. 1. Priorities for action 2. The main conclusions of the report and recommendations for action fall under two headings: content of standards and processes for their production. A more detailed roadmap is within the report. The underlying conclusion is that the technical standards, while not completely and formally ratified, are well advanced; what is required is a focus on implementation of applications using trusted services.

Building Trust
Trust is an essential basis for a productive, satisfying and fun business information and communication environment. Suspicion corrodes working relationships and undermines people’s confidence in themselves and their colleagues. Leaders need to offer trust, since the only way to prove whether others are trustworthy or not is by experience. Organizational leaders have nearly all the power, so it’s usually up to them to set the ball rolling. Trust is always a gift. As a leader, you need to be the one who begins the giving process.What does it take to initiate a process of trust? Courage, certainly, and the willingness to take a risk. Employees who have been denied trust, maybe for years, don’t find it easy to accept responsibility in an instant. You’ll need to help them rebuild their confidence in themselves. You’ll probably have to deal with more than few cynics as well: people who claim to approve the idea of trust, yet constantly find reasons why it shouldn’t be this person, in this circumstance, at this time.
Risks versus Rewards
There are always risks involved in offering trust. Some people—very few, in my experience—will consciously abuse your trust. If so, you may also need the courage and wisdom to refuse to allow the actions of a tiny minority to shape the way you deal with everyone. Others may stumble and betray your trust without intending to. You need to be willing to show them mercy and provide help, not instant condemnation. It’s easy to focus primarily on the negative possibilities: the people who will not live up to the trust placed in them. In reality, the potential for positive outcomes is high enough to tilt the balance of advantage that way.
