Project objectives and key results

The eJustice project is one of the first "Integrated Projects" of the 6th Framework Program. It ran from March 2004 to February 2006. It had three main objectives which once combined can potentially impact the European industry and society:
  1. Progress beyond the state of the art in several trust and security technologies
  2. Convince civil society key representatives that these technologies, and in particular biometry, do not represent a threat to privacy of citizens when they are used within well defined guidelines
  3. Convince major public administrations adopt the results for their own use.
With regards to technological research, the eJustice project addressed
  • Authentication via multi-modal biometry
  • Integration of workflow security with role-based access control
  • Representation of legal processes

The project developed the technologies needed to authenticate users of digital systems via their face and fingerprint data stored on a smart card, and to control the access to workflow-controlled systems via this authentication.
