Abstract

In this paper, we discuss requirements for building trust in locally distributed groups whose members co-operate via shared workspace systems. We argue that appropriate security technology should be an intrinsic part of such systems and describe a conceptual model as well as a recent extension to an existing shared workspace system that provides the respective functionality based on PGP.
