Pseudo Identities Based on Fingerprint Characteristics

This paper presents the integrated project TURBINE which is funded under the EU 7th research framework programme. This research is a multi-disciplinary effort on privacy enhancing technology, combining innovative developments in cryptography and fingerprint recognition. The objective of this project is to provide a breakthrough in electronic authentication for various applications in the physical world and on the Internet. On the one hand it will provide secure identity verification thanks to fingerprint recognition. On the other hand it will reliably protect the biometric data through advanced cryptography technology. In concrete terms, it will provide the assurance that (i) the data used for the authentication, generated from the fingerprint, cannot be used to restore the original fingerprint sample, (ii) the individual will be able to create different "pseudo-identities" for different applications with the same fingerprint, whilst ensuring that these different identities (and hence the related personal data) cannot be linked to each other, and (iii) the individual is enabled to revoke an biometric identifier (pseudo-identity) for a given application in case it should not be used anymore

An Efficient and Reliable Freight Transport system through Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - ERITS

The background for this study was a discussion on how the potential of ITS services and in particular C-ITS based services could be facilitated from a transport system perspective. It was noted that deployment of ITS in general have had a fragmented approach with a focus on roadside equipment and specific services. In addition, ITS services have to a large extent been oriented towards transport of people. Furthermore, there need to be a focus on corridors since the backbone of the European transport system are the nine Core Network Corridors for road and rail transport. This led to the overarching question, how can ITS services contribute to a more efficient usage of the transport system with a focus on freight transport from a corridor perspective? This study was performed by Trafikverket (Swedish Transport Administration) in cooperation with Sweco, WSP and NetPort Science Park.</p
