Pioneering Advanced Mobile Privacy and Security
During the workshop a lot of feedback has been provided by the participants. The following list summarizes the feedback given to the PAMPAS consortium. Note that the list might not be complete. Also, it might not represent the consortium's view.

Network and transport security

  • General requirements: Mention performance constraints of mobile devices, bandwidth etc. in the introduction as a general issue which has to considered (not a research topic on its own). Also applies to costs, accountability, trust models, etc.
  • Mention DAB and DVB in the multicast open research issue
  • Cybercrime/terrorism needs to be covered, at least in introduction (related to DoS, protection of infrastructure, lawful interception)
  • Lawful interception not a research issue for FP6
  • Intrusion detection should be listed under protection of infrastructure
  • Include secure address configuration in secure network access
  • Access control policies (in terminal: automatic decision for switching between e.g. WLAN, UMTS etc.) probably different rating w.r.t. business and end user view
  • Visibility, awareness and configurability of security and privacy, add it as research issue
  • Make secure network support for applications more specific
  • Be more specific w.r.t. threats related to all-IP
Application management and application security
  • Discuss rating criteria in more detail
  • Requirement: distribute functionality in such a way that constraints in a mobile environment are fulfilled best. Related aspects: SSO, delegation crypto functions
  • Secure execution environment: partly covered by SIM, TCPA
  • Mobile agents related issues need reworking, reduce emphasis or drop, is not mobile-specific
  • Rating of anonymous payment should take into difficult business case for many payments
  • Peer to peer security is very important in context of DRM
  • Back-up solutions for lost or crashed mobile become the more important the more a user becomes dependent on his mobile, related to SyncML security? Privacy implications
Id management and privacy
  • Web voting for ranking (to be discussed in consortium)
  • Lots of uncertainty about rating methods
  • Start with a ranking, may reconsider result if it appears unreasonable
  • Security tokens: move to basic technologies, remark that this be addressed in more detail by RESET, discussion equal level of detail for different open research issues
  • Back office control of user data: include and set pointer to RAPID
