    Within the 52nd Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize for the third time a minitrack on Trust, Identity, and Trusted Systems in Technology-mediated Environments.

Through five papers and an open discussion, the minitrack will discuss and debate when and to what degree trust matters, in what form(s), and with which consequences in the context of existing and emerging hardware and software technologies, e.g., biometric technologies, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, peer-to-peer networked platforms, and autonomous vehicles
