DUKE--Distributed Usage Control Enforcement

Usage control is concerned with what happens to data once the data have been released to a data consumer who is, in principle, able to use the data in any imaginable way. Considerations relating to privacy, intellectual property, and public security, however, suggest that data providers are often interested in imposing a certain amount of control on the data that they release. In the DUKE project, we address the problem how the usage of data can be controlled once the data have been given away.
