    We discuss a high-level model for software applications and services that can support a minimal set of human-centric trust management capabilities. We outline the unique set of challenges we must address if we are to attain a level of trust that will be required for a robust deployment of an IoT. We discuss the role of standards and how we can maximize the effectiveness of standards and device and service certification. We suggest a set of solutions for trust management that can support the unique security, safety, and privacy requirements of a robust IoT. Prominent among these solutions is the use of an older approach for access control, viz. the reference monitor, and blockchain technologies that can record trust and policy graphs and trust-related attributes for IoT devices and supporting services. An open, but governed trust blockchain can serve as a universal trusted oracle
