HIDE – Homeland Security, Biometric Identification & Personal Detection Ethics

Focus Groups

monitor and explore for the project's entire duration four technological areas. Focus groups' activities will result in ethical briefs, which will crystallize conversation in a form comprehensible for policy makers and, generally speaking, for the "lay" reader.

Activity Leader: Zuyd University
Scientific Coordinator: Irma van der Ploeg

The four technological areas are:

  1. Technology Convergence
  2. System Interoperability

    The mission of the HIDE Focus Group on System Interoperability is to become the preeminent international forum for discussion, analysis, and debate on ethical issues associated with interoperability in biometrics and personal detection systems.

  3. Embedded Technology
  4. Privacy Enhancing Technology
