OBJECTIVES
The SecurE-Justice project will assure full protection and security to communication
and collaboration instruments to be used in everyday life by citizens and law enforcement
officials involved especially in penal trials.
Mainly oriented to the investigation and the debate phase of trials, the SecurE-Justice
project will address the protection of all the actions and activities relating to the
investigation of the crime, the collection of evidence (including witnesses and testimonies)
and the questioning of suspects.
Thanks to the secure exchange of documents and messages from “Judge to Police” and a secure
management of communication activities, the SecurE-Justice project will guarantee the
improvement of judicial procedures by accelerating experts examination, interpreters
translation, and the effective participation at a distance of witness needing protection,
dangerous criminals, victims, etc..
Security in the users management: identification, authentication and authorization;
PKI, digital certificates and identification using biometry.
Security in the communication management: confidentiality, integrity and non
repudiation; message cryptography, SecureRTP (Real Time Protocol) and “digital
watermarking” techniques.
Remote users (i.e. witness) will be able to participate to the trial through a virtual
indentification mechanism, using a biometric authentication system.
Local users (i.e. Judges) will be able to access to the collaboration platform through
a “secure” Web portal.
The secure intercommunication among users, such as judges and policemen, will
be assured by privacy enhancing, with cryptography, secure audio-video transmission,
VPN and SSL communication protocols and secure procedures.

EXPECTED RESULTS
Security Guidelines: SecurE-Justice project will produce security guidelines for Judicial Public Administration aiming at the implementation of innovative organizational models.
Infrastructure for Smart Device: The technological environment will provide an infrastructure of smart devices for secure control of identification, privacy and data protection.
Time Reduction of Investigation and Trials: Judicial authorities will exchange investigative/Trial information faster, will have the possibility to develop on-line case management systems, and will reduce the dead time of the judicial process.
Better Collaboration: Information exchange between sites using "secure" multi video conference systems.
Faster access to data: Judges, Defendants, Witnesses, will have a smart and fast access to data regarding a Trial, and its status, reducing dead time for citizens and professionals.
