8. What is a FI-WARE Generic Enabler (GE)?
A FI-WARE Generic Enabler (GE) is a functional building block of FI- WARE
Any implementation of a Generic Enabler (GE) is made up of a set of components which together supports a concrete set of Functions and provides a concrete set of APIs and interoperable interfaces that are in compliance with open specifications published for that GE
There might be multiple compliant implementations of a given GE
Each Architecture Chapter (linked to WP3 until WP9) in FI-WARE will lead to definition of a set of GEs

networking entities
This element provides of a set of open and standardised Interfaces to the Network and to the Devices, each virtualising a particular network infrastructure or device features, and addressing a distinct intelligent connectivity need
So we should include
Connected devices dealing with:
- Interfaces to device features (e.g. network status, location systems, phone features, profile information, status information and remote management of devices)
- Interfaces to device services (including OS/middleware, and advanced services such as context frameworks)
Cloud proxies (i.e. Home Hubs/gateways) concerning:
Interfaces to local cloud features (e.g. local storage data, remote management of devices, objects belonging to Internet of Things, local content data, QoS and security management)
Interfaces to manage intelligent connectivity among cloud proxies (e.g. APIs for service access, QoS and security building blocks)
Open networking
- Interfaces to interact with network nodes (e.g. flow processing, routing, addressing, and resource management)
- nterfaces to support network virtualisation
Network services
- Interfaces to manage intelligent interconnection among different Network Service Providers by corresponding inter-domain interfaces (e.g. end-to-end QoS through domain borders)
- Legal interfaces (e.g. interfaces to manage legal interception information)
- Interfaces to network features and services (e.g. auditing data-sets used for billing and charging, context information, content information and statistics).
Interfaces wrapping access to network enablers that would be published to application programmers (materializing and further developing efforts in initiatives such as JIL, BONDI, GSMA oneAPI)
Interfaces required for development of Platform components:
Interfaces to control QoS and Network Resources allocation

15. Security privacy and Trust
Objective: Develop a security ecosystem, comprising core and generic enablers
Security privacy and trust
Context based
and compliance
Generic Security
Enablers
Optional security
services
Aims at developing and providing a security ecosystem which comprises a set of core as well as optional generic enablers for creation, delivery, and usage of security solutions and services for the Future Internet.
One goal is to demonstrate that the vision of a trustworthy Internet that is secure by design is attainable, based on a number of core (basic) security functionalities requested by Use Case projects
(this from both a technological but also a standardization perspective).
An advanced security monitoring system that covers the whole spectrum from acquisition of events up to display, going through analysis but also going beyond thanks to a digital forensic tool and assisted decision support in case of cyber attacks.
Core Generic Enabler components that will provide baseline identity and access management as well as privacy and trust will be built in all FI-WARE instances.
Optional Generic Security Services supporting description and provisioning of such services and their instantiation to address current and future requests from Usage Areas.
Related to the fact that there are two types of enablers , there is also a module that allows the Dynamic invocation and composition of security services to answer related security needs while dealing with constraints which may apply (e.g. regulatory). So it should Provide the framework for selection and deployment of reconfigurable solutions and finally,Specification of monitoring aspects of the solution
(this would include the engine, the brokering service, repository/inventory, amongst others);
