An Outlook to Security and Trust in Internet Communications

In this paper we address the key questions on security and trust in communication over Internet, in a synthetic approach aimed to connect the technological and human aspects of the subject. As first, a brief outline of the Internet security technology is given. This serves as a ground for the exposition of the general security concepts and principles, its pillars and threats. The achieved security provides the basis for building of the user trust. The trust is then proportional to the user’s perception of the achieved security level. The omnipresence of Internet in all human activities today, including financial transactions, e-commerce, trade, auctioning, and other, proves by itself that the trust of majority of online users is won. Legal support and especially the mechanisms of the user protection initiated by the service providers are improving, as well as the general efforts to educate the online community.
