An autonomic computing approach to developing secure, trusted and auditable services for e-business
Why have e-business trust and security often been evasive and unsuccessful? This keynote paper attempts to answer this question by looking at an autonomic approach to communications services for on-line businesses. It reviews the issues and challenges, and presents a rationale for security, privacy, interception, forensics of digital evidence and trust in an autonomic communications and computing environment. A combination of security, privacy enhancing technologies, trustworthy computing interfaces and techniques, advocacy, and greater understanding of the socio-economic and technical aspects of this new electronic phenomena must be covered to establish a sound e-business operating environment on a global level. Some possible solutions pertaining to this environment are also reviewed and examples of some key research areas outlined. Finally a brief overview of directions for innovative research is presented and followed by concluding remarks.
