PEPERS (FP6 26901 - Mobile Peer-to-Peer Security Infrastructure) is an FP6 EU co-funded project, which aims at designing, implementing and validating a reliable platform with high-level support for the design, development and operational deployment of secure mobile peer-to-peer applications for future AmI environments.

From a technical point of view the project will focus on:

• the definition of appropriate security services for mobile peer-to-peer applications over suitable protocols
  
• the analysis and design of possible platforms and interfaces in mobile devices that can provide security services to support peer-to-peer applications
  
• the definition of interfaces based on open standards that will allow secure mobile access to application servers
  
  

• media and journalism: reporters working on assignment need to be able to record, edit and exchange information in a way that will protect and monitor intellectual property rights and the interests of the organization that employs them. This is particularly relevant as it covers both general issues of a mobile workforce and more specific issues related to the media application domain.
  
• physical security: guards and mobile patrols need to be able to receive and transmit sensitive customer information in a dynamic environment when they are called to respond and co-operate in case of ad-hoc exceptional situations.
