The group of Intelligent Systems and Telematics of the University of Murcia, directed by Professor Antonio Skarmeta, will coordinate the European research project H2020 OLYMPUS, whose purpose is to address identity management solutions that preserve the privacy of users.
The project, which will last for 3 years, aims to create tools that are easy for users and service providers to use to extract specific data from digital identity with security and privacy guarantees.
In this way, only the necessary information required in each specific case can be transmitted, and not all the information held by the digital certificates.
For example, if a user has to confirm that he is over 18 years of age in a digital process, he can only provide that information and not the rest of his digital identity, as Skarmeta explains.
Privacy has become one of the main references of how fundamental rights should be guaranteed in the digital era, especially in an information-based society, where personal data are gathered and processed massively without sufficient control of their owners.
OLYMPUS wants to give technological answers to these challenges by applying mechanisms for the use of partial identities in digital communications.
The project, financed with 3 million euros, is led by the University of Murcia and has the participation of the research centers IBM (Switzerland) and Alexandra Institute (Denmark), as well as the companies Multicert (Portugal), Logalty (Spain) ) and Scytales (Sweden).
