What Is End to End Trust?

End to End Trust is Microsoft's vision for a safer, more trusted Internet. This vision can only be achieved through broad cross-industry collaboration and alignment. In the End to End Trust white paper we outline three areas of focus needed to realize this vision:

Security and privacy fundamentals
Technology innovations
Social, economic, political, and IT alignment
