This issue of the World Wide Web Journal frames web security as a matter of trust rather than cryptography. It covers W3C's Digital Signature Initiative (DSI), which breaks new ground in this area by binding machine-readable labels to public key signatures. Other topics include medical records privacy issues, signature legality, trust in Internet information systems, the PGP Web of Trust, REFEREE: a trust management system for web applications, as well as articles on Java security, the "hacker threat," and much more.
