> O'Reilly and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have released the
> Summer '97 issue of the World Wide Web Journal, "Web Security: A Matter
> of Trust." This issue refocuses the debate over securing electronic
> commerce--it goes beyond cryptography and discusses "Trust Management,"
> a new approach to protecting open, decentralized systems like the Web.
> 
> The technical papers in "Web Security: A Matter of Trust" lead off with
> Rohit Khare and Adam Rifkin's overview, "Weaving a Web of Trust." A
> gamut of security-related topics are covered: digital signature
> legality; medical records privacy issues; cryptography and the Web;
> REFEREE: a trust management system for web applications; as well as
> articles on government access to encryption, security for the domain
> name system, and more. The "W3C Reports" section looks at W3C's Digital
> Signature Initiative (DSI) and Joint Electronic Payment Initiative
> (JEPI).
> 
> Trust Management means answering tough questions: Who is authorized to
> look at this data? Why? And on whose authority? To warrant the trust of
> business and consumers, Web security must protect real-world
> applications such as health care, electronic commerce, and protected
> "lockboxes" for digital content. This demands more than a purely
> technological solution--it requires careful administration, the
> deployment of new cryptographic protocols, and an infrastructure for
> public key distribution. "Web Security: A Matter of Trust" is the first
> resource to examine these elements of Web security and, in the context
> of Trust Management, integrate them into a working model for building a
> secure Web.
