Privacy and Identity Management for Life

Abstract

The design and implementation of a versatile privacy policy language is one of the core activities in the PrimeLife project. Policy languages are a crucial tool in any privacy-aware information infrastructure. Machine-interpretable languages have a major advantage over natural languages in that, if designed properly, they allow automated negotiation, reasoning, composition, and enforcement of policies. The requirements are the first step in the development of such a language. The methodology was to collect use case scenarios and derive concrete requirements from them. This chapter presents those requirements independently; they are not derived from research work other than the PrimeLife study itself.
