IEEE Technology and Society Magazine - Winter 2014 - 80

This reiterated process for generating trust combines technological
and human-based, personal relations
and feed-back mechanisms that not
only allow maintaining a high level of
alertness and awareness towards technology, but also create a hybrid technological-and-social system which is
more robust and effective.
Currently, while the value of users/citizens' empowerment through
"by design" approaches has been
widely recognized also as a "normative principle" [9], "in-design" approaches protecting and promoting
the active use of individual rights
- definitely to privacy, but also to
other rights of control on potential
options within the architecture of the
systems - still require reflection for
potential implementations. Finally,
an important aspect towards a reference implementation that should be
considered and is part of our future
developments is the usability considering the different levels of user expertise and previous knowledge.
