Trust Framework

A Trust Framework is a governance framework that establishes trust mechanisms and trust protocols to enable trust relationships between system stakeholders.

• AKA: Trust Management Framework, Trust Governance Framework, Trust Infrastructure Framework, Trust Assurance Framework.
• Context:
  • It can typically define Trust Principles governing trust establishment through trust policy documents.
  • It can typically specify Trust Requirements for trust participants through trust compliance standards.
  • It can typically establish Trust Verification Methods for trust validation through trust assessment protocols.
  • It can typically implement Trust Monitoring Mechanisms for trust maintenance through trust tracking systems.
  • It can typically provide Trust Credentials for trust authentication through trust certificates.
  • It can typically enforce Trust Agreements between trust partys through trust contracts.
  • It can typically support Trust Audit Processes for trust assurance through trust review procedures.
  • ...
  • It can often enable Trust Federation across trust domains through trust bridge mechanisms.
  • It can often facilitate Trust Recovery after trust breaches through trust restoration protocols.
  • It can often coordinate Trust Governance among trust authoritys through trust management structures.
  • It can often manage Trust Lifecycle from trust initiation through trust termination.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple Trust Framework to being a Complex Trust Framework, depending on its trust mechanism sophistication.
  • It can range from being a Centralized Trust Framework to being a Distributed Trust Framework, depending on its trust authority model.
  • It can range from being a Static Trust Framework to being a Dynamic Trust Framework, depending on its trust adaptation capability.
  • It can range from being a Technical Trust Framework to being a Socio-Technical Trust Framework, depending on its trust scope coverage.
  • It can range from being a Informal Trust Framework to being a Formal Trust Framework, depending on its trust specification rigor.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Governance Frameworks for organizational alignment.
  • It can connect to Security Frameworks for security control implementation.
  • It can interface with Compliance Frameworks for regulatory requirement.
  • It can leverage Audit Systems for trust verification.
  • It can utilize Risk Management Frameworks for trust risk assessment.
  • It can support AI Governance Frameworks for AI trust establishment.
  • It can enable Transparency Frameworks for trust transparency.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Domain-Specific Trust Frameworks, such as:
    • Legal AI Trust Framework establishing legal AI trust mechanisms for legal AI system reliability.
    • Healthcare Trust Framework providing healthcare data trust for medical information exchange.
    • Financial Trust Framework enabling financial transaction trust for banking systems.
  • Technology Trust Frameworks, such as:
    • Blockchain Trust Framework using distributed ledger for decentralized trust.
    • PKI Trust Framework employing public key infrastructure for cryptographic trust.
    • Zero Trust Framework implementing continuous verification for network security.
  • Regulatory Trust Frameworks, such as:
    • GDPR Trust Framework ensuring data privacy trust for European regulation.
    • SOC 2 Trust Framework providing service organization trust for compliance assurance.
    • ISO 27001 Trust Framework establishing information security trust for international standard.
  • Identity Trust Frameworks, such as:
    • Federated Identity Trust Framework enabling identity federation across trust domains.
    • Self-Sovereign Identity Trust Framework supporting decentralized identity management.
    • Biometric Trust Framework using biometric verification for identity trust.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Security Framework, which focuses on threat protection without trust establishment.
  • Compliance Framework, which enforces regulatory requirements without trust mechanisms.
  • Technical Architecture, which provides system design without trust governance.
  • Quality Framework, which ensures quality standards without trust relationships.
