Building Trust for a Connected World A new reality is emerging as we adjust to the world where sensors on everything — from phones to cars to medical devices — track every movement, every blink of the eye, every heartbeat and location. Troves of data are being collected, governed, and analyzed in quantities hitherto unfathomable. These data can help us live longer and be better informed about our interests and dislikes. They can also keep us better connected and more entertained. Yet, significant technological and social issues exist around how these data should be properly handled. An outmoded regulatory environment and an increasingly lucrative market for digital profiles have formed a potent cocktail, rendering our information increasingly vulnerable to those who wish to exploit it. A boundless world awaits, but specific safeguards must be taken to protect personal and societal interests. With its years of research and development in trusted distributed computing, networked security, and social computing, Intertrust is up to this evermore important challenge: To build trust in a connected world. “In over twenty-five years, Intertrust has made fundamental contributions to how people conduct electronic commerce and interact over open networks with service-enabled devices. We have grown from a small visionary research lab to a world-changing technology and licensing company, always retaining the ability to place our technology at the core of market trends.” —Talal Shamoon, CEO Intertrust Technologies invents, develops, and delivers technologies for trusted computing, digital privacy, and security among leading global corporations from mobile and CE manufacturers and service providers, to enterprise software platform companies.
