For recognition of Identifiers across the world two components must be in places: First a communication network, which has traditionally be by exchanging treaties and now is becoming based on Internet connections; Second a trust network, which was traditionally bi-lateral until international organizations, like the UN and ICAO were created.

Context

In the 1960's, Licklider published two seminal articles: "Man Computer Symbiosis"[1] in 1960 and "The Computer as a Communications Device"[2] written with Robert Taylor in 1968. Looking for the intellectual roots of these papers and Licklider's vision, which was germinated in the weekly meeting that Norbert Wiener held in Cambridge[3]. This page will look at some of the related work of Norbert Wiener and J.C.R. Licklider.

Problems

  • Trust among all the nations and peoples of the world is not working so well.

Solutions

  • Trust does not need to be global. Is is typically between a small number of individuals or countries. A trust network must be able to solve these real-world problems.
