I like the observations about security and trust at SATN.org: Comments from Bob Frankston, David Reed, Dan Bricklin, and others — Humans gain trust by interacting and “getting to know” people. Transparent technologies that make it easy to see what people and companies are up to (in a sense the opposite of firewalls) are what help me trust. I like Reagan’s saying: “trust, but verify”. It implies that trust requires means for openness, not firewalls and secretiveness.
