Digital information is rapidly becoming the new currency. Information's value is often determined by its usage. How do you make data freely available, but also control the access and appropriate usage?

In some cases, information privacy must be protected. In other cases, information must be available on a limited basis so employees, partners, customers, and suppliers can streamline their operations in a cost-effective manner. Resolving this conundrum is at the heart of Information Integrity.

Information Integrity we understand as development of policies and mechanisms with attention to support the integrity properties of a digital content: Reliability, Security and Prevention.

Reliability: Availability and consistency of digital content can be compromised by server failure, network delays or partiotioning. We characterize the reliability requirements for information and services and how these requirements can be formulated and implemented.

Security: Authors, publishers, and users of digital content face security and privacy threats. We implement mechanisms to combat these threats without interfering with accessibility and ease-of-use. We establish flexible security and rights management policies and their implementation in practice.

Preservation: We define policies for preservation of digital content, and develop suitable mechanisms to implement them.
