Workflows with Segregation-of-Duty requirements or involving multiple parties with non-aligned interests (typically mutually distrustful) pose interesting challenges in often neglected security dimensions.

These ideas are illustrated by challenging examples - constructing various checks and balances for Telecommunications data retention, a vividly discussed and widely known issue.
