Supporting Security and Trust in Complex e-Government Services

The next generation e-Government will be based on Future Internet applications, which can be dynamically composed of complex services, by utilising the mass data being made available in heterogeneous online archives and information sources. Such data can be synthesised as the outcome of a plethora of atomic services, which process and collaboratively handle digital information to facilitate the current business needs of the Public Administration. However, the providers of public services face the problem of maintaining security and preserving data privacy, when integrating this data into dynamically changing composite service environments. In that respect, this chapter presents the application of the design time and runtime capabilities of the Aniketos platform to support the whole data driven secure service development life cycle and ensure trust in service compositions, which can be consumed in value-added public service delivery processes.
