communication capabilities that are so close to human ones in some cases that they are actually the conduit to human capabilities, as with phones and cameras. So it would seem to be an interesting hypothesis to see what in the physical trust system maps to the human trust system, and where there would be differences. This would allow us, of course, to close the loop, since we could in turn then look at those extra human mechanisms and see if there are traces of them in personal electronic devices, in their current or future form. We will delve into considerations of the future forms in Chapter 9. The theme of this chapter was an historical perspective of trust, and hence, security through causality relationships in physical implements. With respect to computers, this translates directly into computer hardware architectures along with the design, manufacture and servicing of computer systems. With that in mind, we can now turn our attention to procedure and process. This will take us directly into consideration of computer software and its contribution to the mind of the machine.
