Project factsheet

The overall goal is to enable communicating organisations to include privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) in large-scale web-based services for the general public and customers.

The primary objective is to devise a framework for facilitating the development of the next generation of privacy enhancing technologies in large-scale web-based services. PETweb will conduct case study research on such services, and develop tools and mechanisms to assess the impact of privacy threats, and their removal in a system architecture.

The objectives are as follows.

1. Analyse the requirements communicating organizations have when using next-generation PETs in large-scale web-based services
2. Analyse and identify gaps and hindrances to the application of PETs in such services
3. Devise a framework to assist in the development of web-based services when these services include next-generation PET
4. Perform a case study and validation of the results using the Mypage/MinSide service
5. Disseminate knowledge and results from the PETweb project

The Norwegian Computing Center hosted a workshop on privacy-enhancing technologies (PET), privacy and privacy protection on Dec. 11, 2007 in Oslo. Please refer to the PETweb workshop to get the speaker's presentations.
