Legal Data Protection Considerations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Attribute-based Credentials for Trust

Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of relevant legal issues for the use of Privacy-ABCs. However, only legal issues stemming from privacy or data protection laws are examined. Further considerations regarding general civil or contractual problems are left aside, since they would require specific knowledge of the intended use-case and the involved entities.
