Ethical and Privacy Countermeasures

This section provides a set of recommendations to ethical issues and introduces a panorama of main technical mechanisms, generally known as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET), to be implemented in order to satisfy privacy requirements and comply with legislation, e.g., General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

It also illustrates different countermeasures through a real-world use case: it defines the ethical considerations and data privacy measures that have been implemented by IMPETUS while conducting Live Exercises (LEx). LEx are conducted to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of the various tools during operations.

The section is organised as follows:

  1. Recommendations on ethical issues

  2. Privacy Enhancing Technologies for smart cities

  3. Case study: LEx ethical and privacy considerations
