This volume contains the proceedings of the IFIPTM 2007, the Joint iTrust and PST Conferences on Privacy, Trust Management and Security, held in Mo- ton, New Brunswick, Canada from July 29th to August 2nd, 2007. The annual iTrust international conference looks at trust from multidis- plinary perspectives: economic, legal, psychology, philosophy, sociology as well as information technology, is built on the work of the iTrust working group (http: //www.itrust.uoc.gr), and has had four highly successful conferences in Europe to date. The annual PST conference has quickly established itself as a leader in m- tidisciplinary research on a wide range of topics related to Privacy, Security and Trust, looked at from research and practice, through academe, business, and government. 2007 marks the 4th year of PST's existence.
