How Can We Trust?

This is a report from a survey asking respondents "to rate the importance of particular channels for gaining information about new attacks and novel approaches, and we asked how willing they would be to share information across these channels." Even looking at the research it's hard to get a sense of who the participants were, save that (I assume) they were higher education information security experts (see this paper (61 page PDF) starting at page 5). Not surprisingly (I think) given the population, "the most important channels were relationships within organizations and interpersonal trust relationships formed with peers in other organizations." Which creates a dilemma. How do you meet the increased demand for security using only "tightly bounded and controlled information sharing environments within organizations and between trusted individuals?" If the institutions aren't trusted, how can we create trustworthy institutions?
