Abstract

The project ‘SlimVerbinden’ addresses the challenge of retaining autonomy while sharing information among multiple parties. Based on a web of trust, information providers can grant and deny access to information, while information consumers can delegate access to specific members within their ‘organization’ (which can be defined within and/or across existing organizations). The policy- and PKI-based realization enables an agent-based secure shared distributed dataspace where no single party knows ‘everything’ and the barriers to information sharing are lowered. The use-case involves public–private cooperation during the mitigation of an incident and drives the development of an operational pilot.
