Description:A Secure and Privacy-Friendly IP-based Emergency Services Architecture
Abstract
English
Emergency services support is one of the most valued features of the public switched telephone network. With the transition to IP-based communication the opportunity to re-design the emergency services communication architecture emerged. It was a chance to offer more features with improved security and privacy properties. This dissertation makes a contribution to the design of an IP-based emergency services architecture that offers international applicability, and multi-media support. Due to the extended functionality emergency calls can also be triggered by vehicles and Internet of Things devices. Security and privacy was taken care off during the work on this architecture.
