• The Trust Economy in a Future New Zealand 2021-06-16

  My interest was first piqued when I came across three videos on YouTube from Rachel Botsman, Jordan Perterson and Philipp Kristian Diekhöner.

  Trust has always been at the centre of society overall and commerce in particular.  There’s a reason why during the first industrial revolution banks always built the most impressive, secure looking buildings in town – so you trusted them to deposit you money there!

• Leading the digital trust conversation DI NewZealand 2022-07-15

  the Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Act has the potential to provide a game-changing regulatory foundation for the identification and authentication components of services delivered through the digital channel.  Those services that choose to be independently audited for compliance against the Framework’s security and privacy oriented rules and standards to become accredited, would then be able to differentiate those digital service brands through displaying an accreditation mark.
