This R&D project is about dealing with accountability issues in identity management. How to ensure that enterprises are more accountable when dealing with identity and personal information? How to provide assurance that the right things are going to be done, when disclosing personal data, in federated identity management context? How to provide end-users with trusted devices and solutions to improve the management and disclosure of their personal data? 

This is a very complex problem that has wide, transversal  implications on users, organization processes and behaviours, interaction and information flows and privacy management aspects.

Current work has been focusing both on the investigation/publication front as well as explicit research and development of solutions, such as in the field of: (1) privacy management; (2) end-users' trusted and secure policy-driven devices and solutions; (3) sticky policies. This is work in progress.
