Digital footprint in a mobile environment

On 28th and 29th of November 2011 the Citizen Digital Footprint Action (CIDIPRINT) organised a workshop on "Digital Footprint in a Mobile Environment". The workshop was aiming to turn the current debate on 'privacy vs. security' into a collaborative approach to define privacy with embedded security. This required: • To understand what are the problems and approaches related to security; • To understand the concerns related to privacy, their foundations and the actual concrete risks; • To identify possible solutions to such problems and risks, as well as directions where research should point to; • To identify the points of intersection, complementarities and conflicts. Outline of the workshop: The workshop brought together representatives of privacy and security in order to work on a win - win approach. It was oriented towards facilitating an open and constructive debate between the security and privacy promoters.

These proceedings summarize the discussion on outstanding questions such as: • The role of public debate in the policy making process related to security? • Can privacy be used as a design criterion for security systems? • How to combine privacy and security? The workshop helped to develop the groundwork for follow-up discussions and actions to converge vs. a consensual goal
