Abstract:One implication of emerging (and established) technologies relates to information security researchers' writing on their management and use. The implication developed here is a potential loss of trust in information security research. This implication follows from an incompatible conflict between optimism and pessimism within information security research. The tenability of the optimistic information security research identified is questioned.
