Special Track -  Trust in FinTech

Throughout the history of human civilizations, financial transactions between individuals or groups have been underpinned by "trust". Yet, the complex multi-party interactions in distributed ledger technologies and smart contracts are often overlooked and passed on as 'trustless'. The financial industry is in a rush to adopt new technologies based on machine learning and distributed ledgers. This is to support authentication and identity management, payment methods and processing, continuous insurance, cross-border trading, regulatory compliance and so on - the FinTech revolution - with mostly emerging economies leading the process. Furthermore, the rising awareness of personal data privacy and the emergence of the personal data economy is opening a new paradigm that reshapes our very understanding of the existing financial infrastructure. The engineering of these systems must factor in trust modelling such that machine-to-machine and human-to-machine interactions are based on trust cues that are accountable and explicable. The topics of interest in this special track include

. trust, risk, and reputation in smart contracts . smart contracts and the law . trust in distributed consensus . accountability, trust, and risk in machine learning decisions, e.g., authentication, continuous insurance . privacy in distributed ledgers . privacy and risk in personal data containers and analysis . human-machine trust in human-centered systems, e.g., seamless payment systems . privacy, risk, and trust in edge computing enabled infrastructures, e.g., 'fog' computing, IoTs backed by cloud backends . privacy and financial transparency
