Digital Trust and Security in the Post- COVID World: Theory and Research
Overview
Digital systems have transformed ̶- and continue transforming – societal daily routines and economic systems, and the security risks we face. The benefits of digital systems depend on public trust in their safety, reliability, fairness, and maintenance of values, which in turn depend on secure hardware and software, fair and effective technological and behavioural security measures, and a keen awareness of the unintended or collateral consequences of digitisation. Researching each of these elements is key for advancing our understanding of trust and security in the digital world – but research on digital trust and security is not free of challenges.
