Towards Personal Privacy Control

In this paper we address the realization of personal privacy control in pervasive computing. We argue that personal privacy demands differ substantially from those assumed in enterprise privacy control. This is demonstrated by introducing seven requirements specific for personal privacy, which are then used for the definition of our privacy policy language, called SenTry. It is designed to take...

Personal Attributes and Privacy

The aggregation of personal attributes into user profiles is a significant privacy concern. Existing attribute management systems support the controlled release of attributes and unlinkability between session protocols, but do not address the problem that attributes distributed in this way may be data-mined for features that allow user profiles to be reconstructed.

Traces collected from multiple channels and with high sampling rates capture many important aspects of participants’ brain activity and can be used as a unique personal identifier, similarly to fingerprints, DNA, or a portrait. The motivation for sharing EEG ...
