Chapter List

Part Overview

This final part contains a single chapter ( Pioneering advanced mobile privacy and security) devoted to a roadmap for the future development of mobile privacy and security. This chapter covers a wide range of topics where future research is needed to develop security solutions for future mobile systems, and has been developed as part of a series of European research framework projects.

To achieve the goal of security and privacy in future mobile communication networks, further research and technology development will be required. The roadmap presented in this chapter pioneers the boundaries of mobile privacy and security from a broad perspective. It registers the mobile privacy and security requirements of the actors on whom the success of future mobile communications, systems and services depends, it gives an overview of the current state-of-the-art in mobile security and privacy, addresses non-technical aspects, conducts a SWOT analysis from a European perspective and ultimately identifies the areas where research, standardisation and development will be most needed and beneficial in the coming years, so that we can progress rapidly and efficiently towards a trusted mobile environment.
