Workshop on Mobility and Identity in Frankfurt

Mobile communication networks are becoming more and more important for our everyday life. Countless services, such as data services, are offered for our personal use, which aim to improve the quality of our lives by acknowledging our needs, requirements and preferences. The main focus of current mobile identification concepts is to provide simple, easy-to-handle identities in order to technically enable secure communication and to cover billing issues. For the more recent data services, advanced identity concepts are needed. Unlike the static identity already implemented in current mobile networks, dynamic aspects like the user’s position or the temporal context increasingly gain importance for new kinds of mobile applications.  

The objective of Workpackage 11: “Mobility and Identity”, is the identification, the description, and the application of the concepts and elements in the fields of mobility and identity. 

Objective of this Workshop

The first WP11 workshop had three objectives: 

1. Kick-Off Meeting of Workpackage 11: Mobility and Identity 

2. Presentations of the contributions by the Workpackage’s contributors. 

3. To organise, coordinate and exchange the work conducted in WP11; especially the content of D11.2 “Mobility and Location Based Services” and D11.3 “Economic Aspects of mobility and identity” 

To provide an appropriate environment for the different objectives, the workshop was planned for one and a half days. Day 1 was foreseen for the objectives 1 and 2. The second day was planned for elaborating objective 3 with members from the FIDIS NoE (the participants list can be found in the Annex of this document).

The first part of the presentation focuses on camera-based human tracking a way of either assisting the provision of location-based services in areas where signals are of low strength or poor quality or adding intelligence to the system through semantics. Scenarios and areas of application of the above mentioned technology were presented. The second part includes a brief introduction to the GRID as a way to provide the location-based services and assist mobility in a more efficient way.

“TBA” 

    The first part (Christer’s part) discussed possible contributions to WP 11. The second part (Leonardo’s) discussed a project conducted within WP 3.3 where requirements for anonymous overlay networks for enhancing the privacy of mobile ad hoc network users were formulated. Besides this, also existing peer-to-peer based anonymous overlay networks were analyzed and it was shown that none of them are compliant with those requirements. Finally, the ongoing design of an anonymous overlay network intended for mobile ad hoc environments was outlined.

Mobile identity and Location Based Services

Author(s):  

1. Els Soenens (VUB) 

Abstract: 

In my presentation on ‘Mobile Identity and Location based services’, I present the concepts of Identity, Mobility, Mobile technologies and locational data from a social science point of view. Following P. Ricoeur (1990), I believe that the concept of Identity must be understood both as idem (sameness) and ipse identity (sense of self). I stress that technocratic paradigms do influence the understanding of the concept Mobile Identity. In presenting an alternative conceptualization, I want to explicate the implications of the use of mobile devices and the use of locational data on people’s identities in everyday life.  

The emergence of Location Based Services Industry must be seen as the result of the interplay of various stakeholders. Location based services do have the ability to enhance your life. But at the same time, they have the ability to influence people’s behaviour, their wishes, their interactions and positions. LBS create implications on peoples self - awareness and their autonomy. As such, LBS affect people beyond data protection and privacy protection. There is a tendency of governmental and commercial services to track people through locational information gathering but do we want to live in a ‘geoslavery’ (Dudson and Fisher 2003). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mobile Working – Selected Socio-Economic Aspects

Author(s):  

1. Dr. Martin Meints (ICPP) 

Abstract: 

In this presentation, the changes of identity caused by mobile work in combination with mobile communication were highlighted. Organisational requirements that have to be met by enterprises introducing mobile work were analysed using the model of partial identities. Five of these requirements showed the potential to cause changes in identity: 

1. Flexible working hours 

2. IT security 

3. Autonomy and flexibility in mobile work 

4. Communication and contacts in various communicational contexts and 

5. Privacy and data protection 

When mobile work in combination with mobile communication and flexible working hours is introduced, the kind of changes and the invasiveness of changes in the employee’s identity can show a big variety. In general two effects can be observed: 

1. Borders between communicational contexts can change; identifiers used in private communicational contexts can shift into work-related communicational contexts as well. 

2. This change of borders can cause a change in control of the identifiers. In some cases the control of policies dictating how to use the identifiers (and thus how to communicate) may shift to the employer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delegation of Rights in Identity Management Systems

Author(s):  

1. Sven Wohlgemuth (ALU-FR) 

Abstract:

My contribution to WP11 will be a technical evaluation of credential-based identity management systems, e.g. Liberty Alliance and IBM idemix, towards their suitability for privacy in business scenarios if a delegation of a credential is needed. 

The starting point for the evaluation criteria is the FIDIS’ study on mobile identity management (D 3.3). These criteria relating to privacy are to be extended in order to be used for the evaluation of credential based identity management systems in given scenarios. As a result, I expect conclusions for the suitability of these identity management systems in these scenarios. The systems will be classified and additional requirements for mobile identity management systems will be derived from the identified shortcomings.

2. Leonardo A. Martucci (KU), and 

3. Simone Fischer-Hübner (KU) 

Abstract:

The presentation contained two parts. The first part (Christer’s part) discussed possible contributions to WP 11. The second part (Leonardo’s) discussed a project conducted within WP 3.3 were we formulated requirements for anonymous overlay networks for enhancing the privacy of mobile ad hoc network users. Besides this, we also analysed existing peer-to-peer based anonymous overlay networks and showed that none of them are compliant with those requirements. Finally, we outlined the ongoing design of an anonymous overlay network intended for mobile ad hoc environments.

Mobility & Identity - Privacy issues in mobile communications

Author(s):  

1. Eleni Kosta (KU Leuven – ICRI)

Abstract:

The current legal framework is mainly based on two European directives, the data protection directive (1995/46/EC) and the ePrivacy directive (2002/58/EC); ICRI shall apply the existing framework to mobile communications. For D11.2 we will apply the current legislation on LBS in use cases and we will also try to spot the issues that the current legislation does not cover.  Many questions arise with regard to ‘consent’ (who shall give it and who shall be the recipient, how and when shall it be given and how can it be withdrawn), to data retention, to the protection of minors etc. Our main goal is, apart from providing an overview of the existing legal framework related to the mobile communications, to contribute practically to the resolving of the scenarios that will be chosen.

 

 

Location Technologies and Surveillance - A Legal Perspective

Author(s):

Abstract:

Short presentation about the use of location technologies and surveillance in the legal context. 

 

 

 

Economic aspects of mobile IDM

Author(s):  

1. Denis Royer (JWG) 

Abstract: 

Identity Management (IDM) is often used as a buzzword that can have many different meanings, ranging from the management of user data to the collection and analysis of data (profiling). However, the systems used to perform such actions are costly and it is difficult to anticipate their value for business organisations, etc. This presentation gives an example for an evaluation approach for mobile IDM technologies.
