"Online identification and
authentication keeps transactions secure on the Internet, however this
has also implications for your privacy. Disclosing more personal
information than needed online when, say, you log in to your bank
website may simplify the bank’s security at the cost of your privacy.
Now, thanks to research by the EU-funded project Attribute-based
Credentials for Trust (ABC4Trust), there is a new approach that keeps
systems secure and protects your identity.
Users want Privacy, Organisations want Security
According to recent research by market research organisation, Ovum, 68 % of us in the EU would like to opt out of having our personal data tracked. In a speech in May,
Commissioner Neelie Kroes stressed that it is essential for EU business
‘To show the citizen that going online is not just convenient, but
trustworthy... With resilient and secure networks and systems I think we
can build that trust.’
New ways of managing online identities that increase privacy while
maintaining security are now a high priority for businesses and citizens
alike. ABC4Trust makes this as easy as ABC."
