Abstract

This book presents the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Trust, Privacy and Security in Digital Business (TrustBus 2011), held in Toulouse, France, during September 1–2, 2011. The conference continues from previous events held in Zaragoza (2004), Copenhagen (2005), Krakow (2006), Regensburg (2007), Turin (2008), Linz (2009) and Bilbao (2010).

The recent advances in the information and communication technologies (ICT) have raised new opportunities for the implementation of novel applications and the provision of high-quality services over global networks. The aim is to utilize this ‘information society era’ to improve the quality of life for all citizens, disseminating knowledge, strengthening social cohesion, generating earnings and finally ensuring that organizations and public bodies remain competitive in the global electronic marketplace. Unfortunately, such a rapid technological evolution cannot be problem-free. Concerns are raised regarding the ‘lack of trust’ in electronic procedures and the extent to which ‘information security’ and ‘user privacy’ can be ensured.
