The Prime Project Receives Research Funding from the Community's Sixth Framework Programme and the Swiss Federal Office for Education and Science. Privacy and Identity Management for Europe Prime Privacy and Identity Management for Europe the Prime Deliverable Series

PRIME envisions that individuals will be able to interact in the information society in a secure and safe way while retaining control of their privacy. While there already exists a fair number of privacy enhancing technologies allowing to build identity management systems that come surprisingly close to realize this vision, there still are considerable gaps between these technologies and whole areas that are still missing solutions adequately addressing privacy. Indeed, the field of privacy-enhancing identity management is still relatively young and many challenging problems still require solutions. This document reports on the research achieved by PRIME’s research work packages WP6.1 and WP[8-12].0 during the fourth project year and describes issues and areas which are open for further research. These work packages were investigating graphical user interfaces, authorization models, cryptography mechanisms, communication infrastructures, and user-side and servicesside identity management aiming to advance the state of the art in privacy-enhancing identity management in general and w.r.t. the requirements collected by PRIME in particular. While some of the research results have been incorporated into development of prototypes, others will be taken up within follow-up projects the PRIME partners are involved in. In the appendix, this document lists the abstracts of all the 81 scientific publications produced by the research work packages WP6.1 and WP[8-12].0 throughout the reporting period.
