The rapid evolution of mobile devices, communication networks and online services is destined to be part of the Future Internet. It is essential that these technologies incorporate and are complemented with mechanisms that guarantee the security of communications, data protection and user privacy so users can determine the trust they are placing in those with whom they are dealing.
This section outlines the work Safelayer has done in security and trust in electronic transactions, all of which adheres to the Semantic Web standards.

|
For the Information Society to develop fully, it is essential to have mechanisms that allow us to trust the multiple entities that play a role in the Web. An example is the digital signature technologies and the public key infrastructure (PKI) used to make electronic operations secure. A growing number of service providers and users are using this technology to guarantee the electronic transactions they make on the Web. However, it is not enough just to base protection mechanisms in a cryptographic infrastructure: the actors also need to show they trust the authorities that certify the identity of the providers and users, the Certification Authorities.
