ethical, legal and technological. All this data are
physically stored within a repository, which could be
distributed over different locations.
The experts’ knowledge within the repository is
structured within smaller units called SALT
references. Thanks to these references, systems
designers will be able to identify and locate other
privacy and accountability concerns concerning to
their SUDs that are not addressed by current design
processes. And not only that, together with the
definitions of concerns, the references include
possible ways of applying such concerns to a SUD
(there may be several possible solutions, thus just
one is provided in each reference for each concern).
This is greatly convenient for systems designers:
they will be able to know about the privacy concerns
and also about a possible way to implement them.
Besides the repository, the SALT approach also
includes a toolset that allows for different
functionalities, such as managing the information
within the repository (addition, retrieval), assistance
to system design creation and automated validation
of the privacy and accountability concerns applied to
the system design (whenever it is possible).
How to use the SALT methodology, what tools
are necessary and when, and for what purposes, are
clarified by the SALT process. The SALT process is
a guide for systems developers, which they can
follow in order to provide a privacy and
accountability –aware surveillance system. And
even more, this process will also guide systems
stakeholders and privacy experts in their relation
with the SALT methodology and the surveillance
system: how to add or update information into the
repository, identification of new privacy and
accountability requirements for the SUD, etc.
However, these functionalities are out of the scope
of this paper, which is mainly focused on the
development of a particular use case and the
advantages obtained thanks to the use of the SALT
methodology.
7 CONCLUSIONS
The presentation and description of a particular use
case based on a video archive search system is used
to show how current design processes for
surveillance systems do not properly take into
account privacy and accountability related concerns,
even though some of them may be accomplished as
a collateral effect.
To alleviate this situation, the PARIS project
proposes the SALT methodology. Thanks to a base
of knowledge called the SALT framework and an
application process, privacy and accountability
requirements are identified at an early stage by
system stakeholders. And not only that, system
designers are also aware of such requirements at
design time, thus achieving a privacy-by-design and
an accountability-by-design approach.
The SALT methodology has been generally
described, showing the process to follow in order to
provide a privacy-aware system design, which will
then be developed and physically deployed.
Together with the identification of requirements for
the SUD, the SALT framework also proposes
possible (complete or partial) solutions to address
such requirements. As a result, when following the
SALT methodology, an improved system design is
obtained, where privacy and accountability concerns
are properly taken into account at design time.
