D2.2: Set of use cases and scenarios

Title: INTRODUCTION

Introduction

We consider here two scenarios that highlight the privacy and anonymity issues we anticipate in the future development of the Information Society.  

First, we describe a scenario to which no privacy enhancing techniques have been added, and analyse the potential impact of the lack of privacy protection on individuals. We present a second scenario with infrastructural anonymity and privacy enhancing mechanisms. We balance anonymity control requirements with accountability and law enforcement. We conclude with an analysis of the tradeoffs of privacy protection and accountability.
