Project description
Towards a global dependability and security framework
Smart use of electronic devices and services.
Advances in communication, tracking, processing and sensing technologies are boosting the deployment of context-aware personalized services and are laying the basis for monitoring and surveillance solutions improving the safety of citizens. However, they pose a serious risk on user privacy rights. The collection of personal and contextual data, in particular when integrated over various information sources, and their disclosure to various infrastructure operators and service providers, may turn out as a serious obstacle for the practical deployment of innovative services, either due to contradictions to the legal requirements or simply due to mistrust of the users.
The project aims to define technical solutions to support the introduction of new mobile/ubiquitous services by addressing the related privacy issues. Our goal is to minimize and control the amount of personalized information made available to the involved organizations, in order for the users to benefit of services without worrying about dissemination and improper use of their personal data.
The project will develop a technical realization of a distributed unit of trust which protects and keeps the data required for the subsystems of a complex networked service separate using e.g. anonymization and encryption techniques. to make sure that only the absolutely necessary data will be provided to subsystems and subservices. Concepts will be developed to make users aware of the level of trust available, and by clearly and fairly informing users on purposes and features of processing of private data.
The project explicitly includes law specialists to ensure, on one side, that the technical solutions proposed properly address and reflect the legal requirements, and on the other side to provide guidelines or establish best practices for the integration of technical concepts into regulation on data protection.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
