Abstract
One of the main objectives of the ABC4Trust project was to define a common, unified architecture for Privacy-ABC systems to allow comparing their respective features and combining them into common platforms. The chapter presents an overview of features and concepts of Privacy-ABCs and introduces the architecture proposed by ABC4Trust, describing the layers and components as well as the highlevel APIs. We also present the language framework of ABC4Trust through an example scenario. Furthermore, this chapter investigates integration of Privacy-ABCs with the existing Identity Management protocols and also analyses the required trust relationships in the ecosystem of Privacy-ABCs.
