Building a privacy accountable surveillance system

This paper presents a sample surveillance use-case based on a video archive search scenario. Privacy and accountability concerns related to video surveillance systems are identified and described here, thus assessing the impact on privacy of this type of systems. Then, after a description of the scenario, we produce the design for this particular context using the SALT methodology developed by the PARIS project. This methodology follows the privacy-by-design approach and ensures that privacy and accountability concerns are properly taken into account for the system under development. This kind of development entails a series of advantages, not only from the point of view of the subject under surveillance, but also for the other system stakeholders.
