8.2 Threats and challenges
8.2.1 Establishing and maintaining trust
8.2.1.1 Complexity of trust in a paperless world
The world has rapidly and largely moved from being paper-based to a digital services world. This move brings with
it many challenges and yet citizens expect high and increasing levels of security and trust which they believe they
experienced in the paper-based world. In the digital world the absence of written and visual proof that characterizes
physical exchanges has given rise to a demand for guaranteed or high levels of identification and authentication of
parties and transactions
