Publisher's Synopsis
"There is no trust keeper that is trusted." - Bruce SterlingIn one sentence, Bruce Sterling identifies the core challenge of establishing trust in the Internet of Things. Originally written as part of the Trust Design project Burnham directed for two years for the Netherlands Design Institute, Scott Burnham's introductory essay explores some of the issues and possible solutions for designing trust and trusted systems in the Internet of Things. Exploring notions of Identity, Character and Integrity, Burnham shows how some of the human tools we employ when establishing and navigating trust with individuals can be integrated into the network of connected "things" in our lives.Featuring interviews with Bruce Sterling and Joost Grootens, this collection was the basis for a series of workshops and activities at Design Academy Eindhoven, PICNIC Amsterdam, and many other initiatives exploring Trust and the Internet of Things.
