A fundamental aspect of the current and emerging information infrastructure is distribution: multiple parties participate in this computation, and each may have different interests and motivations. Examining security in these distributed settings thus requires examining which platform is doing what computation— and which platforms a party must trust, to provide certain properties despite certain types of adversarial action, if that party is to have trust in overall computation. Securing distributed computation thus requires considering the trustworthiness of individual platforms, from the differing points of view of the different parties involved. We must also consider whether the various parties in fact trust this platform—and if they should, how it is that they know they should.
