TrustCoM – An European Union Funded Integration Project

“The TrustCoM project is developing a framework for trust, security and contract management within dynamic virtual organizations supported by service oriented architecture implemented using Web Services and the Grid.”

One of the many challenges in building and implementing SOA Networks between trading parties is one of trust.  Helping to facilitate these relationships is key to moving to what I like to call phase 2 of SOA adoption beyond enterprises and to capitalize on the many benefits of SOA Networks.  “TrustCoM is an IST-funded project, and is tackling the very real problem of establishing trust between organisations online, and ensuring the security of digital transactions and electronic business processes.”  

“By employing innovative and well known Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) open source tools in a generic framework in a distributed environment, the project is addressing the trust, security and contract management issues that have so far hindered the widespread creation of dynamic virtual organisations - the kind of associations between distributed and often very different companies that could fuel a new era of efficient, global business.”
