Q2. What are the future works in "Indicative version: do not cite without permission from the authors beyond the security paradox: ten criteria for a socially informed security policy" ?

The potential of public participation to facilitate infrastructure decision-making: Lessons from the German and European legal planning system for electricity grid expansion.
Q3. What were the main criteria used by the participants to say how SOSTs should be managed?

Q4. What are the main reasons why new security policies have been criticized?
New security policies have particularly encouraged pre-emptive security measures, enacted through the development of data-intensive security technologies and public-private security collaboration.

Q9. What was the idea of privacy-preserving SOSTs mentioned in the Nordics?
The idea of privacy-by-design (Cavoukian, 2011) was mentioned as a possible solution to design privacy-preserving SOSTs and, thus, protect citizens’ privacy: “the concept of “privacy by design” was mentioned, hoping that future technology developers would use their knowledge to increase privacy, instead of increasing surveillance” [Norway National Report, p. 23].
Q10. What is the purpose of the paper?
Through the adoption of an adapted version of the citizen summit methodology,this paper analyses the multiple ways in which citizens interpret security and privacy and assess and evaluate SOSTs.
Q11. What is the impact of SOSTs on the civil and political rights of citizens?
As new SOSTs facilitate the collection, storage, processing and combination of personal data by security agencies and commercial organizations, their impact on established civil and political rights (Friedewald et al., 2010), social sorting (Strauß and Nentwich, 2013, Lyon, 2007a), and on individual privacy (Lyon, 2002) 1 has been criticized.
Q12. What are the limitations of the study?
Despite these limitations, their study makes an important contribution to shed light on citizens’ perceptions of SOSTs and confirms the important role that participative exercises can play in increasing their understanding of how people frame complex policy issues.
