Crowdsourced security, trust & cooperation for learning digital megacities: valuing social intangible assets for competitive advantage and harmonious development

This paper aims at providing some insights and evidence of the relevancy of a crowd sourced approach of security for complex socio technique systems, typical of those in a learning digital megacity. We argue that crowd sourced security associated with trust and cooperation are social intangible assets that can be valued for the attractiveness of a smart city, its competitive advantage, and its harmonious development. We show some empirical results concerning the use of security and trust enabling technologies and systems.
