Towards enabling privacy preserving smart city apps

2016

Smart city applications are increasingly relying on personally identifiable data. A disclosure of such a data to a platform provider and possible 3rd parties represents a risk to the privacy of the application users. To mitigate the privacy risk, two-layer privacy-preserving platform architecture is introduced, wherein the personally identifiable information is dealt with at the inner layer (executed in a trusted environment), whereas only generic and personally unidentifiable information is made available to the apps at the outer layer of the architecture — e.g., in a form of app-specific events. The essential requirements for the platform are described, and the architectural implications …

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…

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.

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.

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.

PRIvacy LEakage Methodology (PRILE) for IDS Rules

2010

This paper introduces a methodology for evaluating PRIvacy LEakage in signature-based Network Intrusion Detection System (IDS) rules. IDS rules that expose more data than a given percentage of all data sessions are defined as privacy leaking. Furthermore, it analyses the IDS rule attack specific pattern size required in order to keep the privacy leakage below a given threshold, presuming that occurrence frequencies of the attack pattern in normal text are known. We have applied the methodology on the network intrusion detection system Snort’s rule set. The evaluation confirms that Snort in its default configuration aims at not being excessively privacy invasive. However we have identified s…

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…
