Trust in ICT 1

The e-health application server that is capable of interacting with the authorization server to check the
authorization level of each user to determine the user’s redaction level before serving data at the requested
(or appropriate) redaction level to that user.
Trust Platform periodically collects trust-related data from nodes in the networks.

5.2.2.4 Triggers
Creation of new measurement data by a remote medical device.

Analysis of received measurement data at application servers, and determination of need for redaction, or
creation of alarms and notifications, etc.

Requests from participants in a health care episode (caregivers) for sensitive medical records.
Arrival of new participants (new doctors, etc.) in the health care episode.

5.2.3 Trust for Time critical and Real-time applications

5.2.3.1 Definition
One of the most discussed and vital applications of real time network is smart grid network. Future Smart
Grids will be capable of informing consumers of their day-to-day energy use, even at the appliance level.
While this is beneficial and supports valuable efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce
consumers’ energy bills, it introduces the possibility of collecting detailed information on individual energy
consumption use and patterns within the most private of places like our homes.
The overall vision for the Smart Grid is that it will possess the following qualities [10];

Intelligent — capable of sensing system overloads and rerouting power to prevent or minimize a potential
outage; of working autonomously when conditions require resolution faster than humans can respond and
cooperatively in aligning the goals of utilities, consumers and regulators.
Efficient — capable of meeting increased consumer demand without adding infrastructure.

Accommodating — accepting energy from virtually any fuel source including solar and wind as easily and
transparently as coal and natural gas; capable of integrating any and all better ideas and technologies—
energy storage technologies, for example—as they are market-proven and ready to come online.

Motivating — enabling real-time communication between the consumer and utility so consumers can tailor
their energy consumption based on individual preferences, like price and/or environmental concerns.

Opportunistic — creating new opportunities and markets by means of its ability to capitalize on plug-and-
play innovation wherever and whenever appropriate.

Quality-focused — capable of delivering the power quality necessary —free of sags, spikes, disturbances and
interruptions—to power our increasingly digital economy and the data centres, computers and electronics
necessary to make it run.

Resilient — increasingly resistant to attack and natural disasters as it becomes more decentralized and
reinforced with Smart Grid security protocols.

“Green”— slowing the advance of global climate change and offering a genuine path toward significant
environmental improvement.

However, it is a must to take great care not to sacrifice consumer privacy. We recognize the value of the
information on the grid, which will give consumers more control over their electricity usage and give utilities
the ability to manage demand requirements, but the dissemination of data must be done in a trustworthy
and transparent manner. To make Smart Grids transparent and trustworthy, an actor is empowered to
monitor (invoke services) and provide information exchange with all relevant stakeholders.
5.2.4 Home energy Management

This use case is to manage energy consumption at home so that consumers can be aware of their daily home
energy consumptions and able to control this consumption by remote actions on home appliances.
