Praise for Trust in Computer Systems and the Cloud

“The problem is that when you use the word trust, people think they know what you mean. It turns out that they almost never do.” With this singular statement, Bursell has defined both the premise and the value he expounds in this insightful treatise spanning the fundamentals and complexities of digital trust. Operationalizing trust is foundational to effective human and machine digital relationships, with Bursell leading the reader on a purposeful journey expressing and consuming elements of digital trust across current and future-relevant data lifecycles.

Trust is a matter of context. Specifically, “context” is one of the words most repeated in this book, and I must say that its use is justified in all cases. Not only is the meaning of trust analysed in all possible contexts, including some essential philosophical and psychological foundations, but the concept is also applied to all possible ICT contexts, from basic processor instructions to cloud and edge infrastructures; and different trust frameworks are explored, from hierarchical (CAs) to distributed (DLTs) approaches. A must-read book to understand how one of the bases of human civilization can and must be applied in the digital world.
