EU Announces New Project on Privacy Enhancing Technologies
The European Commission has set out plans to examine the use of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) to counteract identity theft, discriminatory profiling and surveillance. The commission will promote the research and development of PETs, run large-scale pilots in industry and public sectors, and create an European Union-wide privacy seal system.
