Lightweight Infrastructure for Global Heterogeneous Trust
management in support of an open Ecosystem of Stakeholders and
Trust schemes.
The objective of LIGHTest is to create a global cross-domain trust
infrastructure that renders it transparent and easy for verifiers to evaluate
electronic transactions. By querying different trust authorities world-wide and
combining trust aspects related to identity, business, reputation etc. it will
become possible to conduct domain-specific trust decisions.
This is achieved by reusing existing governance, organization, infrastructure,
standards, software, community, and know-how of the existing Domain Name
System, combined with new innovative building blocks. This approach allows an
efficient global rollout of a solution that assists decision makers in their
trust decisions. By integrating mobile identities into the scheme,
LIGHTest also enables domain-specific assessments on Levels of
Assurance for these identities.
