News from the General PRIME meeting:
“The PRIME project recently received more support and endorsement for its work to raise awareness and knowledge about Privacy-Enhancing Technologies for identity management to a wider audience that makes the decisions which will affect their take-up in real applications.
The main activities in PRIME are about advancing the state of the art in user-centric identity management, including in PETs themselves, but it also has an outreach and dissemination objective to ensure that its technology work is made known to all communities whose decisions will affect how these advances are made available for real use. As part of that objective, it has written two White Papers on its work, which are aimed at different audiences and will be soon made available on PRIME website http://www.prime-project.eu/ . The second of these is aimed at IT professionals.
A currently public version of the PRIME Whitepaper (v2) is available here.
PRIME is very keen to ensure that its work remains focused on topics that are relevant and on results that are deployable in real situations. To that end, it formed a project advisory board, named the Reference Group,that provides guidance on direction and priorities and reviews the project's output.
The Reference Group comprises more than a dozen professionals from various countries' data protection commissions and privacy specialists from industry, consumer groups and academia. They recently reviewed the second White Paper and were very positive about it and the role it could play in bringing about wide adoption of PETs. The project is now making plans for another White Paper, together with other educational materials, such as tutorials, that will be aimed at other communities.”
