Christian Fuhrhop — Fraunhofer FOKUS

Fraunhofer FOKUS is a research institute and develops future web technologies to offer intelligent services and applications. Being primarily involved in the TV and multi-screen domains, privacy is a relevant topic. TV scenarios often involve multiple viewers at the same time, raising new privacy issues that haven't been widely addressed yet. Multiple users interests need to be covered by the policy and privacy settings of one device. Inversely, multi-screen application require that the privacy concerns of one user needs to be shared across multiple devices.

To be able to achieve this, privacy settings need to be aligned across different devices, requiring standardization. And privacy settings need to move away from individual devices, especially for devices that are shared between multiple users, and become more user-centric.

In addition to general interest due to work in the TV and multi-screen domain, Fraunhofer FOKUS is also member of the User-Centric Networking EU project, which intents to implement a Personal Information Hub as an in-home central point to facilitate and moderate access to user data for external parties, an activity closely aligned to the workshop theme.
