Digitalization is leading us toward ecosystems where systems, processes, data, and things are not only interacting with each other but might start forming societies on their own (e.g., forming Social Internet of Things). In these digital ecosystems, trust management on the level of system-to-system (or thing-to-thing) interaction becomes an essential ingredient to supervise the safe and secure progress of our digitalized future. In this talk (and its a bit futuristic outlook), we will look into the essential elements that need to be considered for proper trust management in complex digital ecosystems and discuss how trust-building can be leveraged to support people in safe interaction with other autonomous digital agents (e.g., self-driving cars, drones, and other robotic systems).
