Security doesn't create trust -- "But don't try to tell me that security technology creates trust. It can't. At best it's neutral, and upon reflection, most times it increases mistrust and fear. From now on, whenever a security technology guru tells me that computer security "creates trust" I'm going to demand evidence. I suggest you do so as well."

Good footnote:

"...technologies that make it easy to see what people and companies are up to (in a sense the opposite of firewalls) ..."

Pretty much applies to most technology - do the exact opposite of the conventional "if you had been in this industry as long as I have" nonsense.

People and companies need create trust. Technology reinforces this trust that has already been created. If the company is not known for its "trust" or "reputation" no amount of technology will save it.
