DeSIC – Designing Security Infrastructures for Communities with Sensitive Data

Designing Security Infrastructures for Communities with Sensitive Data – DeSIC Description: The project works on migrant women's initiatives that promote empowerment and active citizenship, with a focus on gender-based violence. The project's various teams work closely together to develop and prototype activities that deepen the sensitivities of technology use and data management in complex contexts. In particular, the project explores and stimulates activities that revolve around: notions of positive digital security, i.e., freedom to act and safety; security as a socio-technical process, i.e., how people relate to security and not just how security is imposed on them by designers and professionals; delegation of access, e.g., through resource sharing and the use of technology; and the use of disruptive technologies, such as blockchain. Location: The project is developed between the cities of Heraklion (GR) and Newcastle (UK). Period: 2021 Partners: Open Lab Newcastle (UK), Angelou Centre (UK), UWAH (GR), Sociality (GR). Users contribution description: The open source DeSIC application, developed by the project team, will provide an infrastructure to promote the tasks of these communities that can be done online. Users will then actively contribute to the project by setting requirements and storing data. https://www.desic.io/
