I have been talking to various people about an event last week in Brussels. It was called DemoSec and was the joint final event for three EU-funded projects. Details of the event can be found here: DemoSec: Democracy and Security http://www.jointfinalevent2014.eu Details of each of the three projects can be found here: IRISS: Increasing Resilience in Surveillance Societies http://irissproject.eu RESPECT: Rules, Expectations & Security through Privacy-Enhanced Convenient Technologies http://respectproject.eu SURVEILLE: Surveillance: Ethical Issues, Legal Limitation, and Efficiency http://www.surveille.eu The information available is very variable between the projects. But RESPECT alone received €3492687 funding. So a significant amount of work. SURVEILLE has though made available a number of reports. Their paper on a "Terrorism Prevention Scenario" and the related paper on NSA may be of particular interest. See: http://www.surveille.eu/index.php/research/publications/ :-) Gordon
