Ensure a trusted and dependable security framework, ubiquitous, working across multiple devices, heterogeneous networks, being organisation independent (inter-operable) and centred around an end-user. This will be achieved by:

• Defining new trust, security models and security policies that address the current and future threats, and ensure affordable security services, maintaining an adequate security level without infringing a user’s right to privacy;
• Specifying components to build the infrastructure, to enforce these policies, select the existing tools and devices, and define the new components to develop;
• Participating to the core research initiatives towards eEurope-2005.
