OBLIVIOUS IDENTITY MANAGEMENT FOR PRIVATE AND USER-FRIENDLY

SERVICES

ABSTRACT

The aim of WP7 is to work on the communication, dissemination and exploitation of the OLYMPUS

results to a broad community of potentially interested parties. Furthermore, the contributions to

standardization activities where the technology developed under the project may be applicable are also

part of the scope of WP7.

This document summarizes all these activities carried out in the first half of the project, which helped

raise awareness about OLYMPUS.

DISCLAIMER

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation

program under grant agreement No 786725, but this document only reflects the consortium’s view. The

European Commission is not responsible for any use that may be made of the information it contains.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The OLYMPUS consortium is fully committed to maximise the impact of the project results, in line with

the broad goals of the H2020 funding programme, and specifically with articles 29 and 38 of the Grant

Agreement. We aim at stimulating the wide use of OLYMPUS results by promoting it in the European

context, and beyond, as a best practice example for open source development addressing the needs

of individuals, governments, SMEs, and larger industry and thus improving their privacy and security

while enabling economic growth.

In that sense, an ambitious communication and dissemination plan has been developed, based on the

initial Description of Action submitted with the project proposal.

The plan starts with a clear definition of the strategy, describing the project’s social and economic

environment, the objectives established, the target groups to be addressed, the key messages to be

transmitted, the communication channels to reach our audiences and the action plan to be executed.

This document also reports about the activities carried out over the first half of the project. Further to a

strong emphasis on the visual identity and web presence, communication and dissemination has been

particularly active on the areas of standardization and publication of scientific papers in important

journals. Furthermore, many of the consortium partners have promoted the project in international

conferences and a summer school has already been organized to explain OLYMPUS concepts. Last

but not least, we sought collaboration with other R&D projects where results are of mutual interest.

In order to assess the overall progress on the work done so far about communication and dissemination

activities, a measurable indicator has been computed based on the established KPIs.

In the next half of the project, we will continue with the execution of the communication and

dissemination plan, with any adjustments eventually necessary based on the results achieved and the

evolution of project’s context.

2. INTRODUCTION

This document is the project deliverable “D7.1 Intermediate Report on Dissemination and

Standardisation Activities”, which is part of Work Package 7 “Dissemination, Communication and

Exploitation”.

2.1. PURPOSE OF THE DOCUMENT

This document describes the communication and dissemination strategy of the OLYMPUS project. It

reports the work and activities performed so far, until half of the project, within the scope of tasks T7.1

“Dissemination and Communication of the Results” and T7.2 “Standardisation and collaboration with

other projects and fora”.

2.2. RELATION TO OTHER PROJECT WORK

This document D7.1 is also related to the following other OLYMPUS project deliverables:

• D7.2 Business and Innovation Plans

This document will describe the exploitation plans for the project results. It is planned for February 2020

(M18).

• D7.3 Public Workshop

This deliverable is a public event to disseminate and demonstrate the project results. It will occur during

the project before August 2020 (M24).

• D7.4 Final Report on Dissemination, Exploitation and Standardisation Activities

This document will expand D7.1 and report the completed dissemination, exploitation and

standardisation activities of OLYMPUS and the planned activities after the project ends. It is planned

for August 2021 (M36).

2.3. GLOSSARY ADOPTED IN THIS DOCUMENT

• Communication. The strategically planned process that starts at the outset of the action and

continues throughout its entire lifetime, aimed at promoting the action and its results. It requires

strategic and targeted measures for communicating about (i) the action and (ii) its results to a

9




multitude of audiences, including the media and the public and possibly engaging in a two-way

exchange.

• Dissemination. Sharing research results with potential users (peers in the research field,

industry, other commercial players and policy makers). By sharing our research results with the

rest of the scientific community, we are contributing to the progress of science in general.

• Exploitation. The use of results for commercial purposes or in public policymaking.

• Standardisation. The contributions of the project towards setting specifications adopted by

broad communities for the main purpose of interoperability.

10




3. COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION POLICY

The European Commission has a clear goal that supported research projects by the Horizon 2020

programme must reach society. This means not only the technological and scientific activities shall be

driven to solve societal challenges, also the results achieved and benefits generated have to be actively

promoted, as a return to society of the considerable investment in public funding and human resources.

As a result, communication and dissemination has become an equally important key work field for the

H2020 research projects, playing level field with the remaining technology development and scientific

research activities.

The intention is to demonstrate how research projects are contributing to an “innovative European

Union”, with increased transparency over what projects are funded and their respective results. In order

to support this objective of the Commission, funded projects are required to incorporate work on

communication and dissemination transversally across all activities and constantly along the whole

duration of the project.

The communication and dissemination objectives originally set in OLYMPUS follow the requirements

of Grant Agreement (GA) [5] article 38.1.1 “Obligation to promote the action and its results”, which

states «The beneficiaries must promote the action and its results, by providing targeted information to

multiple audiences (including the media and the public) in a strategic and effective manner».

In support of this requirement, the EC has published several guidelines about 1) communication and

2) dissemination. Although some of its objectives are shared, they are different concepts in nature.

While dissemination focuses on presenting the outcomes of the project to audiences that may use the

results (e.g. peer reviewed publication), communication is about presenting the technology and

scientific results to a wider group of stakeholders beyond the project’s own community (e.g. general

public, policy makers, industry etc.).

EC defines «Communication on projects – it is a strategically planned process that starts at the outset

of the action and continues throughout its entire lifetime, aimed at promoting the action and its results.

It requires strategic and targeted measures for communicating about (i) the action and (ii) its results to

a multitude of audiences, including the media and the public and possibly engaging in a two-way

exchange» [6]. This requires the consortium to continuously show what Olympus is doing to the society

in general, as the ultimate source of funding of the project, as well as to the EC, which selected Olympus

over other concurring projects to address the societal need to increase privacy in online services. In

the case of OLYMPUS, this is of utmost importance as one of its key objectives is to «to establish an

oblivious identity management framework that ensures secure and privacy-friendly virtual identity

management interactions for citizens accessing services in Europe» [4].

11




Some additional key aspects that are endorsed by the EC for communication activities are:

• Communicate from the beginning; meaning not only the results but also the journey along the

project duration, choosing the right tone for communications; just the relevant information, not

every detail.

• Communicate with purpose. The result of the communication activities should be coherent with

the objectives defined in the communication strategy.

Regarding dissemination, the main objectives are to transfer the knowledge and results to those that

can make best use of them and to maximize the impact of the research and innovation activities within

the project.

Within OLYMPUS, communication and dissemination activities are grouped under WP7

“Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation”, coordinated by MUL, and more specifically, in tasks

T7.1 “Dissemination and Communication of the Results” (responsible partner UMU) and T7.2

“Standardisation and collaboration with other projects and fora”. Nonetheless, spreading the message

of OLYMPUS is a joint effort of all consortium partners. Hence, the dissemination and communication

plans are presented together in this deliverable, and synergies are being explored and exploited in

order to maximize the impact of OLYMPUS outcomes.

12




4. COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION STRATEGY

The OLYMPUS consortium seeks to maximise the impact of the project by explaining the work and

results through outreach activities. Knowledge transfer to and knowledge exchange with all

stakeholders, i.e., citizens, governments, certification authorities, SMEs, standardization organisations,

research community, large industry, and industry organisations, is an important aspect and increases

the impact of the project. OLYMPUS adheres for its publications to the green open access principle.

In OLYMPUS, the communication and dissemination strategy is defined as the combination of rules

that are going to guide the information flow from the project towards the outside world.

This process is the result of answering the following questions.

1. Why? Social and economic environment

2. Which? Communication objectives

3. Who? Target groups

4. What? Key Messages

5. How? Communication channels

6. When? Action Plan

4.1. SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The increase on privacy when using electronic services is the main focus of OLYMPUS. When

analysing the current situation, there is plenty of opportunities to improve privacy of citizens.

Taking as example the Drivers’ Licence use case addressed by OLYMPUS, selling products and

services such as alcohol, tobacco, and gambling are subject to restrictions. Also, citizens meeting

certain requirements are often entitled to special benefits at public and private services.

Examples of such restrictions are age limits, state of residence, the salary or retirement pension

amount, etc. In most cases, there is no need to disclose the full identity of the subject, but rather to

show only a single attribute (e.g., year of birth, salary amount), or even just to prove that the attribute

satisfies some predicate (e.g., older than a certain age, salary less than a certain amount). For example,

alcohol can only be sold to individuals over 16 or 18 years of age, but a vendor does not need to know

the exact birth date, nor does he need any other personal information about the customer.

13




As of today, the situation is the following:

• According to the recent Communication of the European Commission (Brussels, 8.12.2016

COM(2016) 790 final) entitled “Action plan to strengthen the European response to travel

document fraud”, identity fraud and forgery of travel documents are increasing rapidly. According

to the European Border and Coast Guard’s 2016 report (http://frontex.europa.eu/publications),

impostor fraud and the fraudulent obtaining of genuine documents increased by 4 % and 76 %,

respectively, between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, whereas fraud with

counterfeit documents decreased (-8 %).

• Unfortunately, the forgery of identity documents has been going on for several years already, as

studies from 2009 had already shown. Forgery of traditional (i.e., chipless) identity documents

has continued to grow for several years. According to The Economist, “a study in 2009 of

American university students found that 17% of freshmen and 32% of seniors owned a false ID.

In August 2012 the numbers had been even higher, experts reckon.” High-quality fake US

driver’s licenses can today be bought online for around 100 USD.

• Reading out electronic identity documents such as eIDs, ePassports, and International Driver

Licences (IDLs) based on the eMRTD ICAO 9303 standard discloses full personal information

about the bearer, including his full name, birth date, country, etc.

The migration to electronic identity documents significantly reduces the possibility of forgery.

Specifications such as ICAO 9303 (in use for ePassport and eIDs) and ISO 18013 (IDL) provide

mechanisms to prove authenticity and integrity of the document. However, once read access is granted

by the chip, all biographic data contained in Data Group 1 (DG1) can be retrieved.

This means that the software validating an electronic ID document (e.g., the point-of-sale of an alcohol

vendor) has access to much more personal data than strictly required. Worse even, the data is already

in machine-processable form, so the vendor could easily build a comprehensive database of customer

profiles with full personal details, which poses serious threats to privacy.

On the other use case addressed in Olympus – the Credit File –, privacy is combined with activities of

Credit Reporting to achieve a greater societal objective of Financial Inclusion.

The ICCR (International Committee of Credit Reporting), an organisation belonging to the World Bank

has been working in several initiatives to facilitate access to credit for individuals and small and

medium-sized enterprises, avoiding their exclusion from the financing circuit.

«Financial inclusion has become a public policy priority in many countries. Many policymakers

and regulators are introducing measures to advance financial inclusion levels in their

14




jurisdictions and in response private-sector stakeholders are scaling up their efforts to reach

unserved or underserved populations.

In this policy brief, the ICCR elaborates on how Credit Reporting can contribute to Financial

Inclusion, focusing specifically on access-to-credit issues for both individuals and M&SE’s whose

credit needs remain unserved or underserved by licensed financial institutions and/or by other

formal lenders that are not financial institutions (e.g. retailers)» [8].

In Spain, for example, law 5/2015 of April 27, about promoting corporate financing, has as one of its

objectives to foster and promote the financing of SMEs and self-employed people, making bank finance

more flexible and accessible. The Law establishes that extensive information on the financial situation

and payment history will have to be provided in a document called "Financial Information-SME".

On the other hand, the new EU general data protection regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) came into force

on May 25th, 2018. According to this regulation, if an entity requires personal information from a

customer, they will need the explicit consent to use their personal data. Penalties in case this standard

is not met are high.

Currently, when a customer needs financing, the credit institution requires: (a) a customer identification,

(b) access to external databases to collect customer data, (c) a credit risk evaluation, and, if it is granted,

(d) establishing a contractual credit relationship.

Before a financial institution can grant credit, the customer needs first to be identified with a high level

of assurance, and then must give consent to the bank to access external databases to validate

customer information (bad credit databases, default history, criminal records, laboural trajectory, etc.).

The client to give consent must provide his personal data and sign one or more documents. The

financial institution must keep the consent (i.e., the signed document) and the personal data for several

years. At this point in time, the financial institution does not even know whether the credit will be granted.

4.2. OBJECTIVES

The OLYMPUS communication and dissemination objectives are outlined in project’s Description of

Action [4] for WP7, specifically:

«[Obj. 7.1] The enhancement of competence in the area of services to find, analyse, rank, select

and integrate OLYMPUS services with respect to privacy and security in the use-case scenarios

and possible extension to areas like IoT. The awareness will be raised on a broader scale

(national and international communities) through cooperation with other relevant projects,

services, platforms, and initiatives and organisations. […]

15




[Obj. 7.3] Dissemination of the project results, publication of concepts and reports to the research

IdM research and industry communities as well as to other European stakeholders to create

awareness, involvement and update. Promote the relevance of the OLYMPUs solution within

the GDPR framework.»

According to the H2020 communication guidelines [9] a communication strategy for an EU-funded

project pursues the following objectives:

• Raise the awareness of national governments, regional authorities, and other public and private

funding sources or policy-makers to the need for and ultimate benefits of our research.

• Promote the effort of the EU in pushing the investment in technological projects such as

OLYMPUS that span technical, societal, ethical and economic benefits for the citizenship.

• Promote project achievements and emphasize the innovation advances as a key feature of

OLYMPUS.

• Enhance reputation and visibility of consortium members at local, national and international

level, as well as encouraging talented students and scientists to join our partner institutes and

companies.

• Help searching for financial backers, licensees or industrial implementers to exploit our results.

The communication and dissemination efforts of OLYMPUS are targeted to specific stakeholder groups

(see section 4.3 below). Table 1 lists the specific goals, according to those target groups.

Target Groups Specific Dissemination and Exploitation Goals

Citizens • Raise awareness about OLYMPUS benefits.

Table 1 – Communication and dissemination goals

4.3. TARGET GROUPS

In order to implement OLYMPUS Communication and Dissemination Strategy, two different categories

of stakeholders are considered:

• Internal, involving the coordination of communication and dissemination towards the target

audience existing in each of consortium partners’ organisations.

• External, involving the coordination of communication and dissemination towards all the target

audiences existing outside the project consortium.

Figure 1 depicts the classification of the target groups of OLYMPUS communication and dissemination

activities.

17




Figure 1 – Communication and dissemination target groups

At internal level the main target groups are:

• OLYMPUS Consortium Partners: partners of the project are the best potential ambassadors

of the results of the project. All the partners are committed to promote the work developed along

the project, as well as participate actively in activities organized to this aim as workshops, joint

papers and presentations.

• Advisory Board: The AB gathers recognised specialists and experts invited to support the

project. The AB provides expert advice and feedback on selected OLYMPUS deliverables. The

AB is also consulted to assist with strategy for effective communication, including the uptake

and understanding of OLYMPUS research, both at a regional as well as global dimension.

• Security Advisory Board: As described in the DOA [4], SAB is the group responsible for

reviewing the project's deliverables prior to distribution outside the consortium. This board does

not have executive powers and its advice is non-binding. Final decisions are responsibility of the

project management board. They are involved in any communication action as workshops and

presentation of results with the aim of being aligned with them, with the side effect of acting also

as “OLYMPUS ambassadors”.

At external level, the targets are distinguished depending on the approach: Communication or

Dissemination. Nonetheless, despite this differentiation, the frontiers between Communication and

Dissemination are usually “blurry” [10], in the sense that one can feed the other, and vice versa. For

example, a Communication action intended to raise awareness on a group of users could lead to further

interest of acquiring the technology, leading to further Dissemination actions and ultimately to an

effective Exploitation. This interplay is understood as highly beneficial to the project and, thus,

embraced and promoted.

18




4.3.1. COMMUNICATION TARGETS

The focus on communication is to inform a broader audience of potential users, clients, investors,

researchers and policy makers of the benefits of OLYMPUS, to establish strong liaisons that promote

interest in take-up of the results and demonstrate the value added of the project funding. This

collaboration will serve to complement the specific dissemination activities, gain feedback from the

community, identify potential partners and users, and influence relevant standards.

• Citizens: as end users of OLYMPUS, citizens are considered a key target for communication.

• Research Community: this group is focused on universities, research centres and other

academic institutions, as well as R&D departments of industrial companies that may be

interested on OLYMPUS specific topic of privacy and electronic identity.

• Industrial Organisations and other projects: this group is composed by sector specific

associations (e.g. Secure Document Alliance, Alliance 4.0, IoT Forum, European Signature

Dialog, etc), as well as consortiums of other R&D projects running under the H2020 or other

funding programmes.

4.3.2. DISSEMINATION TARGETS

The focus on dissemination is to promote knowledge transfer and tools developed within OLYMPUS to

stakeholders that can leverage the results into new business opportunities and/or take up the results

and enrich them with external contributions, used in complementary research fields.

• Government Agencies: public organisations with authority for issuing ID documents or holding

personal data information about citizens. Examples are Department of Motor Vehicles, Digital

Transformation Agencies, Civil Registers, etc.

• Standardization Groups: An important part of the exploitation plan is based on the

incorporation of some of the OLYMPUS building blocks into standards, making them mandatory

and interoperable. Examples of such standardization bodies are ISO, W3C and OASIS.

• SMEs: Many of the companies acting as Services Providers in the OLYMPUS ecosystem are

expected to be SMEs, agile and innovative enough to embrace and deploy privacy aware and

user-friendly services.

• Large Industries: Setting up and kick start new and scalable services with innovative business

models may require significant upfront investments and resources. This is usually only

accessible to large companies, which are addressed as specific group in OLYMPUS.

19




4.4. KEY MESSAGES

Considering the goals set for OLYMPUS, its features, innovations and expected outcomes, different

messages can be communicated to our target groups.

According to the project theme, the main topics for communication and dissemination are privacy

(especially personal data), identity (in electronic formats) and security (mitigate data compromise).

All contents created for communication and dissemination activities shall take these key topics as a

starting point and elaborate over them, in connection to the OLYMPUS objectives and results.

4.4.1. KEYWORDS

The OLYMPUS concept is based on the following terms:

✓ Privacy

✓ Data Protection

✓ Identification

✓ Risk Management

✓ Identity Management Systems

✓ Electronic ID documents

✓ Online services

4.4.2. FOCUS ON THE PROJECT

The goal of these messages is to emphasize OLYMPUS value, as well as the facts and reasons that

motivate the whole idea of the project.

✓ OLYMPUS does not rely on secure hardware tokens and ensures user privacy by enforcing

untying of authentications and minimal disclosure of data in relation to service providers and

identity providers.

✓ Through the ability of online IDP in traditional IDM systems distributed across multiple partial

IDPs, no single server, or no collusion of servers smaller than a certain threshold, can

impersonate its users, link their virtual identities between services, or retrieve their passwords.

✓ More transparency for Service Providers and Identity Providers in adhering to existing standards

and complying with privacy aware policies and data protection regulations.

✓ Implementation of a user-centric IdM ecosystem by enabling citizens to manage the disclosure

of personal information.

20




✓ Set the standard on electronic ID documents for privacy protection of personal information with

minimal disclosure.

4.4.3. FOCUS ON KEY FEATURES

The key messages can be focused on the main features of the OLYMPUS framework, resulting on

benefits to the stakeholders:

✓ Augmented user experience of online authentication without revealing unnecessary information.

✓ No traceability of users across multiple Service Providers, as well as across the partial IdPs

composing a virtual IdP.

✓ No compromise on user access credentials, even if all but one partial IdPs are compromised

simultaneously.

✓ No need for the user to hold secret keys on a dedicated secure hardware token when

authenticating online towards OLYMPUS virtual IdP.

✓ Possibility of deriving offline assertions about user attributes with minimal disclose (for example

for age proof, without revealing birthdate)

4.4.4. FOCUS ON KEY INNOVATION

Innovation is one of the distinctive features of OLYMPUS. The consortium has identified the following

areas of significant scientific and technological progress over the current state-of-the-art:

✓ Specification and reference implementation of a new distributed Single Sign On protocol with

proactive and adaptive security, guaranteeing security as long as not all servers are

compromised at the same time.

✓ Definition of a new distributed partially oblivious Pseudo Random Function, letting users

deterministically derive a signing key pair from their username and password, while having that

key distributed amongst an arbitrary number of different servers.

✓ New proactively secure distributed signature, with an instantiation based on RSA signatures.

✓ Integration of private attribute-based credentials into an electronic ID document.

21




4.4.5. FOCUS ON THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES

Further to technology advances of OLYMPUS, the added value of the project is demonstrated by the

outcomes produced, which ultimately define the effective utility of the project:

✓ A privacy preserving digital identities framework, making sure citizens are in full control of their

personal data when interacting with digital services and reducing opportunities for online tracking

and profiling.

✓ Support digital transformation processes with increased privacy-by-design, through OLYMPUS

available components.

✓ New generation of electronic ID documents with improved mechanisms for minimal data

disclosure.

✓ Integrated online ecosystems of Identity Providers, Service Providers and Attribute Providers,

facilitating new services and business models in support of societal challenges like Financial

Inclusion.

✓ Novel cryptographic building blocks that may be object of further research, reused and extended

in other types of distributed oblivious systems.

4.5. COMMUNICATION CHANNELS

This section presents a summary of the planned channels for communication and dissemination

activities considered to be used for OLYMPUS to reach the identified target groups.

Figure 2 – Communication and dissemination channels

22




Channel Description

Visual Identity &

Branding

The creation of a distinctive branding identity is important to build a visual recognition of the

project. A set of elements and colour schemes are designed and selected to be used consistently

across all the contents created in OLYMPUS.

Web Presence The web presence is instrumental for communication and assured by a combination of a

dedicated web site and social media pages.

Website: The OLYMPUS website is one of the communication channels to promote the project,

covering the following topics:

• Introductory information about the project, facts and its general approach

• Outline of project activities and results, main publications

• Useful documentation, links and references in .pdf files

• News related to the project: internal meetings, presence at events, published papers,

starred deliverables, etc.

Social media: Social media networks facilitate immediate information sharing with target

audiences, raise visibility of the project, create communities around the project. For OLYMPUS,

the selected social media networks are:

• LinkedIn – since most of the target groups are governmental or corporate, a professional

oriented network as LinkedIn is considered more appropriate when compared to other

networks like Facebook or Instagram, more targeted to individuals and leisure activities.

• Twitter – allows short and quick communications with transversal audiences –

governmental agencies, corporates, academia and citizens.

• Youtube – channel to be used at a later stage in the project to distribute video contents

based on the demonstrators.

Press & Campaigns In addition to scientific publications, OLYMPUS shall also be communicated in common language

accessible to non-expert audiences, to trigger further interest. These articles not classified as

scientific papers can be published in magazines or distributed as whitepapers.

Events This channel comprises workshops, talks about the project at sector specific conferences, forums

or any type of meeting where the project somehow can be promoted by a consortium member.

Collaboration with

other R&D projects

OLYMPUS actively seeks communication and exchange with related R&D EU Projects.

Particularly the parallel projects under the same H2020 call and topic are likely to be relevant.

Standardization

working groups

The project will contribute to the relevant standardisation activities and working groups including,

ISO, OASIS and W3C. This will be coordinated through existing participation of some of the

consortium partners in relevant standardisation organisations and working groups such as

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC17 WG10 for the mobile Driver’s License that also serves as an electronic ID

document and is expected to work as an online access credential.

Scientific

workshops

OLYMPUS’ partner members will organize and participate in scientific workshops in order to

promote our research activities, as well as exploit other researchers’ relevant results.

Publications in

refereed

conferences

The main scientific dissemination activity for OLYMPUS is the publication of innovative research

results: Partners publish the results of the conducted research in relevant conferences to

maximize the impact of the scientific work to the target communities.

23




4.6. ACTION PLAN

The dissemination and exploitation strategy splits into 3 phases, distributed along the project duration.

Phase I. Awareness

Timeline M1-M12

Objectives Year 1 is about awareness. The concept and idea of the project is widely disseminated. Standard

channels such as the project website, social media, press releases and news articles are used to

“spread the word”. The aim is to attract potential stakeholders from diverse backgrounds. In

particular, focus on targeting citizens and SMEs to engage them in an initial dialogue about the

dimensions of the project and the work involved.

Action Points 1. Definition of the Communication and Dissemination strategy

2. Roll-out of branding and graphic identity

3. Implement web presence, comprising the website and social media

4. Present OLYMPUS at selected scientific and sector specific conferences (*)

5. Organize a summer school to explain OLYMPUS building blocks

6. Monitoring progress of the plan and update strategy accordingly (*)

Phase II. Feedback

Timeline M13-M24

Objectives Year 2 is about getting feedback. The second year has planned working prototypes and the

development of an initial ecosystem with the appropriate platforms. Achieving feedback on the

development is the project’s priority. It is a critical time for the project to engage with a variety of

communities, be it large industries, SMEs, end users or standardization groups.

Action Points 7. Grow web presence with regular publication of informative contents about OLYMPUS (*)

8. First reporting of activities performed along first half of the project

9. Collect feedback from previous communication and dissemination actions and incorporate

into the development works undergoing in the remaining (*)

Phase III. Impact

Timeline M25-M36

Objectives Year 3 is about third-party uptake and impact. The success of the project is ultimately measured

by the uptake of the addressed target groups. The dissemination activities will mainly be geared

towards engaging with third party stakeholders as well as standards bodies to generate lasting

impact of the project and creating business opportunities.

Action Points 10. Final Dissemination/Communication workshop to present the results of the project

11. Final evaluation and reporting of activities along the whole project duration

(*) AP running continuously throughout the whole duration of the project, with focus adjusted to respective objectives for the period.

Table 2 – Action Plan

24




4.7. PROGRESS MONITORING

In order to assess implementation of this plan, a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are

established and described in Table 3. These KPIs are grouped according to the communication

channels defined in section 4.5. Each KPI is defined with a metric (either quantitative or true/false),

cumulative over the entire duration of the project, and a target value to be achieved by the end of the

project (month 36) is defined.

These metrics are monitored throughout the lifetime of the project and help measuring the impact of

the communication strategy by quantifying the results achieved.

5. COMMUNICATION AND DISSEMINATION REPORT

All communication activities have been classified according to the established channels (section 4.5)

and are reported in the following sections.

5.1. VISUAL IDENTITY AND BRANDING

The very first element of visual identity of OLYMPUS is the logo. By the time the original project proposal

was submitted for evaluation, the consortium has already drafted an initial logo (Figure 3).

Figure 3 – Original OLYMPUS logo

After the project started, the consortium worked on a new logo with a cleaner and more elegant look,

still retaining some of the design elements with a symbolic meaning (Figure 4). A colour palette was

also selected to be used consistently in the contents to be produced in the project.

Figure 4 – Artwork of new OLYMPUS logo and symbolic meaning

Further to the logo, a set of templates (Annex 1) for documents and presentations was also prepared,

as well as a brochure (Annex 2) with the key messages.

✓ The circle of stars mimics the EU flag and refers to the

project’s European background

✓ The 6 stars represent the number of partners in the

consortium

✓ The bigger M resembles Mount Olympus, the highest

mountain in Greece and home of the gods in Greek

mythology. It represents the difficulty of the challenges

ahead in the project, as well as the glory attained with

the results to be achieved.

27




5.2. WEB PRESENCE

5.2.1. WEBSITE

A dedicated informational website [1] for the project initially setup and hosted by UMU available at

https://olympus-project.eu. Immediately afterwards, a new version of the website was developed using

the framework Wordpress. The mains goals were to have a cleaner and more elegant look, easier

content editing and publication and collection of access (privacy-friendly) statistics. This new version

went live on July 2019, replacing the first website version at the very same Internet address.

The website is currently is the main channel of OLYMPUS to communicate the results of the project

and to regularly report about activities and achievements to the wide public. Figure 5 shows the

statistics collected1 about visitors and sessions in the new project website.

Figure 5 – Website statistics

1 Website statistics only available since July 2019, when the new website went live.

28




5.2.2. SOCIAL MEDIA

A LinkedIn account was created for OLYMPUS to communicate relevant news about the project.

Furthermore, post entries on LinkedIn can be shared by partners to raise wider visibility.

The LinkedIn page [2] is publicly accessible at https://www.linkedin.com/company/olympus-eu-project/.

In the period from February 2019 to January 2020, there were a total of 110 page views from 53 unique

visitors (Figure 6). Very interestingly, there was a peak in September 2019, which coincided with the

presentation of OLYMPUS in eID Forum 2019.

5.5. COLLABORATION WITH OTHER R&D PROJECTS

OLYMPUS has collaborated with the following R&D projects:

# Project Scope of collaboration

1 CyberSec4Europe

https://cybersec4europe.eu

OLYMPUS has collaboration with CyberSec4Europe, with consortium

partner UMU being involved in both projects. CyberSec4Europe is

identifying researchers’ challenges on different areas of cybersecurity.

More specifically, Task 5.3 in that project is related to privacy preserving

identity management solutions. UMU is presenting some of the results of

OLYMPUS as key technologies to be considered in the future. It is

expected that once OLYMPUS is able to provide the different

components, synergies will be created to enable possible tests within the

pilots that CybeSec4Europe is defining. Additionally, as part of WP4

where the roadmap of different challenges is defined, the results and

advances proposed by OLYMPUS may be included as contributions.

2 SODA

https://www.soda-project.eu

Joint research work on distributed RSA key generation was done in the

projects OLYMPUS and SODA by consortium partner ALX. SODA is

focused on general multiparty computation and the use of the such

distributed key generation method is being integrated in OLYMPUS in an

Identity Management application.

3 USEIT

https://www.chistera.eu/projects/useit

Collaboration with CHIST-ERA project USEIT – Usable Security and

Privacy for IoT. In this project, UMU and IBM worked on the design of

privacy preserving protocols for V2I communications. Based on this

research, some of the concepts were taken as inputs to the discussion of

OLYMPUS architecture as an extended solution.

Although USEIT finished January 2020, the baseline of collaboration is

continuing within OLYMPUS, which is expanding on the results.

planned meetings – for 2020, Orlando (US), Amsterdam (NL), Stockholm (SE) and Beijing (CN).

W3C

The consortium has also engaged with the W3C Verifiable Credentials Working Group. The intention

is to investigate the usage of the data model specified in the recent W3C Recommendation “Verifiable

Credentials Data Model 1.0” [11] and analyse whether it can be integrated in OLYMPUS and eventually

contribute with comments and suggestions.

AIOTI

Through UMU, OLYMPUS has also been involved in activities of Alliance of Internet of Things

Innovation (AIOTI)4 distributed ledger (DLT) Working Group. Here we are supporting to create an

overview on best practices of DLT usage in Europe and to push standardisation activities towards DLT

and Blockchain protocol interoperability.

ECSO

Under the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO)5 there is the cPPP on Cybersecurity and

partners like UMU are involved on different WG related to security for IoT, industrial deployment and

research identification. During last year UMU has been involved in ECSO Horizon Europe Priorities

SWG6.1 for the HEP and DEP priority identification. In that sense, UMU has provided input related to

privacy preserving technologies and challenges to be incorporated in the next Horizon Europe program

7. CONCLUSIONS AND NEXT STEPS

Halfway through the OLYMPUS project, there is significant work done so far on communication and

dissemination activities, even if the more tangible results are yet to be developed and demonstrated

over the second half of the project.

So far, OLYMPUS has been presented in several important international conferences, with an adequate

balance between scientific and business-oriented events. This is helping raise interest not only on the

research community, but also on potential customers and industrial partners. For example, a surge on

page views at OLYMPUS web channels was clearly visible during the presentation at eID Forum

conference. Also, the summer school at IFIP proved to be a very successful event, with more than 40

students attending.

The scientific research, one of the major efforts of the first half of the project did also produce very

relevant results, with several papers submitted and accepted at the most prestigious scientific

conferences and journals.

Also worth of note is the activity on standardisation. Several meetings have been attended and the

project was already presented to the ISO Working Group responsible for the Mobile Drivers’ Licence.

Due to its interest and potential benefits, it is marked as an action point for further updates and

contributions. Therefore, it is important for the consortium partners engaged into this group to keep

regular attendance to the meetings and draft a contribution to be submitted in the next half of the project

and take opportunities to do live demonstrations of the implementation.

The activities done so far have laid down the ground for the exploitation plans. All consortium partners

remain strongly committed towards the success of the project and leveraging the opportunities it is

creating. In that sense, in the second half of the project, communication and dissemination activities

will be focused on reaching broader audiences and engage with stakeholders that can help maximize

the possible impacts.

On one side, web presence will be reinforced with even more publications in the website and social

media, including the setup of a Youtube channel to share videos of the demonstrators.

As more results will be coming from OLYMPUS, we will seek further collaboration with other R&D

projects, looking for synergies and joint opportunities of communication and dissemination.

Last but not least, we will stay closer to the identified target groups that can have particular interest in

OLYMPUS, namely, Government Agencies, Standardisation Groups, SMEs and Large Industries.
