Trustworthiness: July 2022 Edition

We are excited to bring you this 20th edition of the Journal of Innovation!

This is the second volume of the JOI devoted to the topic of Trustworthiness. The first, published in September of 2018, introduced the concept and need for trustworthiness, related trustworthiness to industry concerns, and provided some models related to trustworthiness.

We recommend reading the short introduction to Trustworthiness in that volume if you are not familiar with the concepts. We followed this in March 2020 with a white paper to specifically address software concerns, Software Trustworthiness Best Practices,  and then, the publication of the Trustworthiness Framework Foundations in July 2021 , bringing foundational trustworthiness concepts and models together in greater detail.

We hope this issue is informative and valuable to you and encourages you to join us on our work in the IIC on Trustworthiness. The Trustworthiness Task Group is chartered to explore aspects of trustworthiness relevant to industrial IIoT and the IIC's vision of an industrial IoT ecosystem. We would like to thank the authors and editors of this content, and hope you find it a valuable resource as you consider the application of trustworthiness techniques in your organization. As always, your comments are very welcome.

This edition includes the following:

• Trustworthiness in Industry IoT Systems: From Design to Operations
  A sequel to the author’s original JOI article “Trustworthiness in Industrial IoT System Design” from September 2018 , this time extending the usage of trustworthiness from the design towards the actual operation of industry IoT systems.
• Achieving Trustworthiness Through Risk Management, System Theory, and Resilience
  Offers perspectives on how risk management, system theory and resilience can help organizations ensure that unacceptable losses do not occur, and that hazards that can lead to losses are eliminated, mitigated, or controlled.
• Measuring the Trustworthiness of Software with ISO/IEC 5055
  Describes how the IIC’s five Trustworthiness characteristics relate to the software quality model in the ISO 25000 series of standards and looks at how ISO 5055 provides measures that can be used to assess software trustworthiness at the source code level.
• Leveraging a Tailorable Holistic Perspective of Supply Chain Risk to Deliver Trustworthy Systems
  Explores the impact of trustworthiness assurance on supply chain operations while addressing the challenge of delivering trustworthy IoT systems in the face of supply chain risks and offering a holistic approach to meeting the challenge.
• Mind the Trust Gap! Strategies for Communicating Trustworthiness in Digital Twin Systems
  Outlines a strategy based on work from the IIC and Digital Twin Consortium to establish and communicate trustworthiness metrics that enable counterparties to rely upon and thus act on trustworthiness data in complex and dynamic systems.
• Using SBOMs to Secure Industrial IoT Devices
  Describes how Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) for devices differ from those for software and explains the primary challenges facing SBOMs for devices, plus offers solutions for addressing those challenges.
• Accelerating Time-to-Market Using an Integrated High Assurance Software Stack
  Presents the details, use cases and performance of a high assurance software stack, highlighting issues and challenges, and proposes a cost-effective approach to accelerating the design and implementation of systems with a high assurance stack.
