Case Abstract

PRECIOSA: Privacy Enabled Capability in Co-operative Systems and Safety Applications

The goal of PRECIOSA is to demonstrate that co-operative systems can comply with future privacy regulations by demonstrating that an example application can be endowed with technologies for suitable privacy protection of the location related data of individuals.

The major objectives of the PRECIOSA project are to:

Define an approach for the privacy evaluation of co-operative systems in terms of communication privacy and data storage privacy
Define a privacy aware architecture for co-operative systems which involves suitable trust models and ontologies, a V2V/V2I privacy verifiable architecture, which includes the architecture components for privacy policy enforcement, integrity protection, infringement detection, and auditing
Define and validate guidelines for privacy aware co-operative systems
Investigate specific challenges for privacy.

Technology solution

The project will provide guidelines for privacy-friendly ITS, propose a design process supporting system designers in a privacy-by-design approach, and a privacy enforcing runtime architecture that allows enforcement of privacy policies set by the user's of the systems.

The selected evaluation approach is comprised of the following steps:

Investigate a number of use cases
Collect application and privacy protection requirements
Select a non-privacy aware application
Integrate selected mechanisms for protection
Detect infringement and auditing
Assess the resulting privacy aware application.

This assessment will be carried out in liaison with industry stakeholders, such as the Car 2 Car Communication Consortium, as well as public authorities, e.g. Data Protection, Article 29.Â It should enable the validation of guidelines for privacy awareness that will be submitted to the eSafety community.
