"Open Source Software Middleware for The Internet of Things - Project ASPIRE" by Humberto Moran @ eLiberatica 2008
May 17, 2015
This is a presentation held at eLiberatica 2008.
http://www.eliberatica.ro/2008/
One of the biggest events of its kind in Eastern Europe, eLiberatica brings community leaders from around the world to discuss about the hottest topics in FLOSS movement, demonstrating the advantages of adopting, using and developing Open Source and Free Software solutions.
The eLiberatica organizational committee together with our speakers and guests, have graciously allowed media representatives and all attendees to photograph, videotape and otherwise record their sessions, on the condition that the photos, videos and recordings are licensed under the Creative Commons Share-Alike 3.0 License.

About Open Source Innovation Ltd
Charity Registered in EnglandMission is to promote the creation and adoption of OSS when social and environmental benefits are significantEstablished in 2004 by a group of enthusiastsSmall organisation with a difficult startHowever, we have secured two big grants and have triggered the project ASPIRE presented todayCurrently focused on RFID due its promising benefits and social acceptability challenges

Background – about “The Internet of Things”
Also referred to as “electronic barcodes”, RFID tags are tiny computers used to identify everyday objectsRecognised as the “next big thing” in ICT after the InternetMany initiatives to promote it and “make it happen”Significant economic, social and environmental benefitsAlso, significant social threats

The Virtues of RFIDScores of Industrial Applications
Manufacturing and distributionImproved traceability (product recalls)
Streamlining of operations
Reduction of theft and counterfeiting
Detection of misplaced products
RetailersImproved on-shelf availability
Automatic check-outs
Interactive marketing
Improved replenishment

The perils of RFID – privacy and security
Privacy threats – reality or paranoia?Enablement of big-brother practicesKnowledge of individual preferencesAbuse by third parties
The myth of trade-off: “Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both” (Benjamin Franklin)
Privacy issues have already prompted opposition:Boycott against Wal-Mart, Tesco, Gillette and BenettonSpychips books (US)Recommendations by governments

The Perils of RFID – How can RFID violate our privacy?
Tags are not discreetThey talk to everyoneThey say too muchWe don’t hear them talking!
We teach our kids not to talk to strangers … our RFID tags should do the same!

The Perils of RFID – How can RFID violate our privacy?
Commercial environment –nuisance and discrimination
Shopping habitsInteractive marketingPrevious buys
Public places and domestic environment
Living habitsIncome and wealthHealthSexual behaviourReligious inclinationsPolitical views/activities

How is online privacy protected?
US: Self-regulationEU: limited legislationConsumer cautionCertification programmes
Privacy threats are not limited to RFID!
CookiesPhishingSpamVirusesSpywareWeb bugsCredit card fraudIdentity theftUnauthorised publicationsTrade of personal data/preferencesEmail scanning (gmail!)Customer specific pricingWebsites were you can investigate a person
The Internet experience showed the perils of new
technologies
Not very successful

Understanding RFID threats
BEFORE the Point of Sale (POS)Privacy threats
Tracking and tracking of citizens by companiesCustomer profilingIndustrial espionage
AFTER POSPrivacy threats
Tracking and tracing of citizens using tagged identity proxies (e.g. shoes)Detection of privacy-sensitive objects (e.g. medicines, implants)
Security threatsDetection of expensive products (e.g. Rolex or jewellery)Abuse by terrorists (e.g. book by Salman Rushdie)

Other challenges facing the RFID revolution
Standardisation and interoperabilityFrequencies and regulationsGovernance of existing bodiesIP situation
Profitable business casesAdoption and operation costs are too high
Dissemination to beneficiaries, consumers and citizensIrrational fear by some consumersIrrational opposition by extreme groups
ASPIREFP7 Integrated project
Page 14May-2008
How can OSS support socio-technological processes of RFID?
AdoptionAffordability, availability, flexibility
StandardisationOpen code makes it easier to create or extend interfaces
InnovationMany minds and eyes involvedKnowledge builds over knowledgeEnd-user involvement, quick test and feedback
TransparencyOpen code is visible by everyoneThis allows using privacy-friendly algorithms and techniques, and auditing and certification programmes

Brief history of ASPIRE
OSS RFID Middleware idea was proposed by Open Source Innovation in Brussels in the 2006 RFID Public ConsultationObjectives:
Bring SMEs to the RFID processStandardisation toolPromote innovationCreate certifiable privacy-friendly RFID middleware
A consortium of renowned organisations led by Athens InformationTechnologies put together an FP7 proposalThe proposal materialised in the €6M project ASPIRE which started in January 2008

ASPIRE Overview and Goals
ASPIRE
Develops and will deliver a lightweight, royalty-free, programmable, privacy -friendly, standards-compliant, scalable, integrated and intelligent
middleware platform
Significantly lower the SME entry cost barrier and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for RFID technology solutions:
• Free Middleware running on Low-cost hardware
• Lower effort for managing the infrastructure and developing applications
Validate the above developments in RFID trials
Enable RFID scenarios (based on ASPIRE middleware and added value sensors) that improve business results

Other characteristics of ASPIRE
ProgrammabilityFlexibility to adapt to all possible business processes
Compatibility / interoperabilityWith ISO, EPCglobal and other RFID standardsDevelopment of new standards if necessary
Low-cost sensors and readersAdapted to European needs and requirements

ASPIRE – Ongoing activities
Early engagement of the OS Community to collaborate with the projectEarly engagement of SMEs to provide end-user requirements and participate in ASPIREStudy of existing RFID OSS for reuse purposesStudy of current standards for complianceDesign and development of ASPIRE’s architectureProgramming of ASPIRE’s necessary modulesSetup of collaborative tools

Invitation, questions and discussion
If successful, ASPIRE will produce privacy-friendly OSS RFID middleware tailored to European requirements.
We would like to invite the OS Community, Romanian industry and innovators to join the ASPIRE project and OSI by contributing end-user requirements, ideas, collaborating with the development activities etc.
