Objective 7.1: A European infrastructure for secure information management
Objective 7.1 aims at stimulating the adoption of trustworthy and secure ICT by citizens, governments and businesses through the funding of pilot projects. The main expected outcome is a pilot project that integrates available security technologies, tools, policies and procedures into a functional system that allows secure management of data and information collected and kept by public and private organisations. This covers technologies such as encryption, single sign-on, strong authentication and role definition, distributed data storage. Participation should be based on public-private partnerships and key partners should include solution and service providers, particularly in the domain of ICT security, public administrations and private data controllers.
Call 2 under Workprogramme 2008
The objective of Trusted information infrastructures is to bring together key partners to build consensus develop roadmaps and identify best practices in view of defining trusted information infrastructure for eServices under real-life operational conditions. This will include secure identity management and privacy-friendly automated personal data processing by third parties (such as applications for eBanking).
The objective of Biometric technologies is to bring together the key stakeholders in this domain in Europe in view to develop experience sharing and awareness raising. The network will identify and disseminate best practices, investigate modalities for certification. It will also develop practical application scenarios, as well as test and use cases. Legal requirements (such as data and privacy protection), cultural and societal issues have to be taken into account and possible shortcomings of current applications addressed. The network has to be an effective instrument for achieving more secure and trustworthy biometrics applications on the long-term.
