Trust (CG-Trust), materials from other Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) and related

• A strategy for trust provisioning in the ICT infrastructure, services and applications based on trust
taxonomy in different domains;
• Architectural framework for trusted social cyber physical infrastructures and for trust decision
making for trustworthy ICT eco-system;

• Technical details for trust provisioning including trust modelling and decision making;
