DUCA

DUCA's framework consists of modular building blocks designed to support a versatile architecture and reference implementation. This includes techniques for assessing privacy risk exposure, ensuring that our solution is both general and flexible. By making the main components platform-independent, we guarantee compatibility with a wide range of architectures and deployment models within the Internet of Everything (IoE).

We have identified three primary use cases to demonstrate our framework:

• Smart Energy: Enhancing data usage control in energy management systems.
• Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: Ensuring secure and privacy-conscious use of data in big data analytics and AI applications.
• Collaborative Mobility: Improving data protection in shared mobility services.

The project's research approach includes comprehensive measures to ensure compliance with legal frameworks and standards by formalizing, analyzing and monitoring guidelines

• Assurance of compliance in accordance to legal frameworks (e.g., GDPR, EU AI Act) and standards for auditing and engineering purposes.
• Representation of attestation schemes and trusted policies in ontologies and knowledge graphs, for the purpose of testing, maintainability of policies and dependency tracing.
• Ensuring the correctness of complex policies using formalization and static analysis techniques.
• Monitoring the policy enforcement in runtime to increase the confidence in the correctness of the implementation of usage control systems

In addition, DUCA promotes participants' knowledge, improves research and innovation capabilities and provides European society with advanced data protection mechanisms.
