About the publication

This study has been initiated by the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, in order to improve the ministry's background knowledge of Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) and to describe the possible scenarios of use.

An important purpose of this study is to propose a high level classification of Privacy Enhancing Technologies, with a corresponding classification of the most significant products on the market and their features.

The report is intended to help officials evaluate the feasibility of employing PET in the electronic communication between public administration, private enterprises and consumers.

The scope of the analysis is to provide a European view, focused on the situation in Denmark, UK, Germany and common EU activities. Global trends will be included where applicable.
