Abstract. The close relationship between trust and (IT/cyber) security has often been addressed in debates and publications, but remains underrepresented in mainstream research. There have been attempts to harmonize both areas and consider them as two sides of the same medal—as soft security and hard security or conversely as soft trust and hard trust.

In this talk, we will briefly review the past research that focuses on how trust and security can *complement* each other. We will then look at computational trust as a particular family of approaches. Next, we will discuss how trust and security can act *in service* of each other. Under the heading "Security needs trust", we will look at how the trust aspects of IT security scenarios can be assessed and operationalized using computational trust; under the heading "Trust needs security", we will outline some approaches that ensure the assessment of computational trust against various threats. A brief outlook on open challenges will conclude the presentation.
