The document discusses the 'abc4trust' project, focusing on privacy-enhancing technologies designed for user anonymity and minimal data disclosure. It outlines objectives such as developing a unified architecture for attribute-based credential systems, fostering common platforms and interoperability, and addressing privacy challenges connected to electronic identity cards. Additionally, it highlights pilot applications and potential future challenges related to usability and data collection practices.
Trustworthy Infrastructure for Personal Data Management
- 1. Trustworthy Infrastructure for PDM Digital Enlightenment Forum 2013 Brussels, 18-20 Sept. 2013 Ioannis Krontiris Goethe University Frankfurt
- 2. Privacy-ABCs • Benefits of Privacy-ABCs – Privacy-ABCs are by default untraceable (no user-tracking) – Enable minimal disclosure (user reveals only the necessary information) – User can chose to stay anonymous or generate (unlimited number of) pseudonyms – Advanced security (no sharing of credentials, device-binding for extra protection) • ABC4Trust objectives: A common, unified architecture for ABC systems to enable – Comparing their respective features – Combining them on common platforms – reference implementation – 2 pilots – “Lock-In” free usage of ABC systems • Raise trust in privacy-ABC technologies http://abc4trust.eu/
- 3. ABC4Trust - About • Scheduled duration: November 2010 – February2015 • Funding: The ABC4Trust project receives research funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme under grant agreement n° 257782 as part of the “ICT Trust and Security Research” theme. • Web Page: www.abc4trust.eu
- 4. ABC4Trust @GitHub • https://github.com/p2abcen gine/ • Source codes available under Apache license • Documentation, installation guide and wiki pages
- 5. Pilot Applications • Norrtullskolan School, Söderhamn, Sweden • School internal social network for communication among pupils, teachers, and personnel • Sept 2013 – Dec 2013 • University of Patras, Greece • Course ratings conducted anonymously without lecturers knowing participants’ identities • Conduct polls based on attendance • Oct 2013 – Jan 2014
- 6. Privacy-ABCs and eIDs • eID cards a gateway to personal information with risks to the privacy of citizens – Build privacy-respecting architectures that prevent tracking of the citizen • Achieving international interoperability is an important goal – Build privacy preserving solutions that can be deployed for trans-border uses within the EU
- 7. Challenges ahead • Address usability issues – innovative tools, such as “virtual care-takers,” to empower users make decisions that they cannot understand or evaluate properly • Address engineering problems – integrating privacy technologies on large scale deployments is still ill understood – examine methods of evaluation, criteria and metrics • Address continuously new data collection practices and data flows – Data treated by cloud-based applications – Sensors that collect personal information
