A Privacy Agent in Context-Aware Ubiquitous Computing Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper targets personal privacy protection in context-aware ubiquitous computing environments. It proposes a privacy agent technology to help notify people of relevant information disclosure, and to empower them to manage privacy with relative ease. In essence, the development of the privacy agent technology employs privacy terminology and policies specified in Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) [1], and uses ontological modeling technique to facilitate automated processes of privacy-relevant interactions on behalf of individuals. The development of privacy agent is an integrated part of our ongoing effort towards developing a privacy-respecting context-aware infrastructure.

Developing a privacy ontology for privacy control in context-aware systems
This paper concerns personal privacy and privacy protection in context-aware ubiquitous computing environments. It proposes a privacy ontology solution to facilitate automated processes in privacy control. The development of the privacy ontology is an integrated part of our ongoing effort towards a privacy-respecting middleware solution for context-aware systems.
متن کاملAn Architecture for Distributed Agent-Based Data Preprocessing
Advances in agent technologies have fueled interest towards combining agent-based techniques with tools from data mining. Furthermore, the advent of the ubiquitous computing paradigm has introduced a novel applications area, which offers new possibilities for further deepening this bond. Ubiquitous computing solutions are often designed for mobile environments, which poses additional requiremen...
متن کاملA semantic-aware role-based access control model for pervasive computing environments
Access control in open and dynamic Pervasive Computing Environments (PCEs) is a very complex mechanism and encompasses various new requirements. In fact, in such environments, context information should be used in access control decision process; however, it is not applicable to gather all context information completely and accurately all the time. Thus, a suitable access control model for PCEs...
متن کاملA Scheme for Quantizing Privacy in Context-aware Ubiquitous Computing
Privacy is one of the areas of security with tradeoffs in ubiquitous computing and tends to a difficult, yet necessary, design issue in such dynamic environments. Context and social nuances contribute to creating privacy for the user, making it a meta-property. Developers currently incorporate little support in designing frameworks that help endusers manage their privacy in an undaunted way. In...
متن کاملA Privacy-Aware Service Protocol for Ubiquitous Computing Environments
In a ubiquitous computing environment, every service should have the characteristic of context-awareness and location information is an important factor to grasp a user’s context. Thus, location privacy is an major security issue of ubiquitous computing environment. Most research on location privacy is focused on protecting the location information itself. However, not only prohibiting acquirem...
