TRUESSEC Trustworthiness Label Recommendations

While actual software development is beyond the current scope of TRUESSEC, the remainder of this paper describes the characteristics of such a solution, allowing the EC to commission a working prototype should it wish to do so. Author's research started evaluating existing trustworthiness seals and labels, and the analysis of these existing schemes showed a general lack of adoption and awareness, as well as poor transparency regarding what is being certified and under what conditions. From the six Core Areas the authors extracted the following twelve criteria of trustworthiness: It should be emphasized that the way the criteria are ordered in this list does not indicate their importance per se. With this in mind, in the Criteria Catalogue they provide Core Areas, criteria and indicators as possible ways to address the post-compliance level.
