An Investigation of Security and Privacy for Human Bond Communications
2017
Experimental evaluation of privacy-preserving aggregation schemes on planetlab
2015
New pervasive technologies often reveal many sen- sitive information about users’ habits, seriously compromising the privacy and sometimes even the personal security of people. To cope with this problem, researchers have developed the idea of privacy-preserving data mining which refers to the possibility of releasing aggregate information about the data provided by multiple users, without any information leakage about individual data. These techniques have different privacy levels and communication costs, but all of them can suffer when some users’ data becomes inaccessible during the operation of the privacy preserving protocols. It is thus interesting to validate the applicability of such…
Privacy preserving mechanisms for enforcing security and privacy requirements in E-health solutions
2016
In the last few decades, there have been significant efforts in integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into healthcare practices. This new paradigm commonly identified as electronic healthcare (e-health) allows provisioning of healthcare services at an affordable price to its consumers. However, there have been questions raised about the security of the sensitive information such as health records as well as the privacy of involving parties raising doubts on the minds of the general public. Thus, it is important to understand the potential security challenges in e-health systems and successfully resolve them by taking adequate measures to ensure fair utilization of suc…
Security and privacy in the Internet of Things: Current status and open issues
2014
The Internet of Things at large will foster billions of devices, people and services to interconnect and exchange information and useful data. As IoT systems will be ubiquitous and pervasive, a number of security and privacy issues will arise. Credible, economical, efficient and effective security and privacy for IoT are required to ensure exact and accurate confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and access control, among others. In this paper, the IoT vision, existing security threats, and open challenges in the domain of IoT are discussed. The current state of research on IoT security requirements is discussed and future research directions with respect to IoT security and privacy ar…
Information Security and Privacy in Medical Application Scenario
2010
This chapter discusses security and privacy aspects for medical application scenario. The chapter analyze what kind security and privacy enforcements would be needed and how it can be achieved by technological means. Authors reviewed cryptographic mechanisms and solutions that can be useful in this context.
Security and privacy in the cloud a long-term view
2011
In this paper we analyze security and privacy aspects of the cloud. We take a long-term view since the scope of privacy is potentially the lifetime of the privacy subject. We investigate trust issues and privacy aspects for cloud service users, using subjective logic as a primary tool. We also present promising solution for credible privacy in a cloud environment.
Privacy violations in Riga open data public transport system
2016
Over the recent years public transportation systems around the world have been migrating to digital ticketing solutions. This paper investigates security and privacy aspects of the one such system implemented by Riga municipality called e-talons by analysing published open data containing ride registrations.
Privacy handling for critical information infrastructures
2013
This paper proposes an architecture and a methodology for privacy handling in Critical Information Infrastructures. Privacy is in this respect considered as both the risk of revealing person-sensitive information, for example from critical infrastructures in health institutions, but also to identify and avoid leakage of confidential information from the critical information infrastructures themselves. The architecture integrates privacy enhancing technologies into an enterprise service bus, which allows for policy-controlled authorisation, anonymisation and encryption of information in XML elements or attributes in messages on the service bus. The proposed methodology can be used to identif…
To Share or Not to Share: Supporting the User Decision in Mobile Social Software Applications
2007
User's privacy concerns represent one of the most serious obstacles to the wide adoption of mobile social software applications. In this paper, we introduce a conceptual model which tackles the problem from the perspective of trade-off between privacy and trust, where the user takes the decision with minimal privacy loss. To support the user decision, we introduce the Mobile Access Control List (Macl), a privacy management mechanism which takes into account the user attitude towards mobile sharing, his communication history and social network relationships.
Internet of things and privacy preserving technologies
2009
In this paper we consider different approaches to technological protection of users' privacy in the world of internet of things. Particularly, we consider what kind of problems and which level of protection can be achieved by applying approaches using secure multi-party computations.
