This study investigates the mechanisms of Surveillance Capitalism, focusing on personal data transfer during web navigation and searching. Analyzing network traffic reveals how various entities track and harvest digital footprints. The…
Differential privacy is a precise mathematical constraint meant to ensure privacy of individual pieces of information in a database even while queries are being answered about the aggregate. Intuitively, one must come to terms with what…
Differential privacy is a leading protection setting, focused by design on individual privacy. Many applications, in medical / pharmaceutical domains or social networks, rather posit privacy at a group level, a setting we call integral…
The primary objective of an anonymity tool is to protect the anonymity of its users through the implementation of strong encryption and obfuscation techniques. As a result, it becomes very difficult to monitor and identify users activities…
Data sharing enables critical advances in many research areas and business applications, but it may lead to inadvertent disclosure of sensitive summary statistics (e.g., means or quantiles). Existing literature only focuses on protecting a…
With the development of Internet technology, the issue of privacy leakage has attracted more and more attention from the public. In our daily life, mobile phone applications and identity documents that we use may bring the risk of privacy…
With the rapid development of internet technologies, social networks, and other related areas, user authentication becomes more and more important to protect the data of users. Password authentication is one of the widely used methods to…
Information Hiding is considered very important part of our lives. There exist many techniques for securing the information. This paper briefs on the techniques for information hiding and the potential threats to those methods. This paper…
Our ability to control the flow of sensitive personal information to online systems is key to trust in personal privacy on the internet. We ask how to detect, assess and defend user privacy in the face of search engine personalisation? We…
Imagine a group of citizens willing to collectively contribute their personal data for the common good to produce socially useful information, resulting from data analytics or machine learning computations. Sharing raw personal data with a…
Daily, massive volume of data are produced due to the internet of things' rapid development, which has now permeated the healthcare industry. Recent advances in data mining have spawned a new field of a study dubbed privacy-preserving data…
Decentralized systems are a subset of distributed systems where multiple authorities control different components and no authority is fully trusted by all. This implies that any component in a decentralized system is potentially…
This study proposes a comprehensive framework for enhancing data security and privacy within organizations through data protection awareness. It employs a quantitative method and survey research strategy to assess the level of data…
Users care greatly about preserving the privacy of their personal data gathered during their use of information systems. This extends to both the data they actively provide in exchange for services as well as the metadata passively…
Corporate mail services are designed to perform better than public mail services. Fast mail delivery, large size file transfer as an attachments, high level spam and virus protection, commercial advertisement free environment are some of…
Web 2.0, social media, cloud computing, and IoT easily connect people around the globe, overcoming time and space barriers, and offering manifold benefits. However, the technological advances and increased user participation generate novel…
While the introduction of differential privacy has been a major breakthrough in the study of privacy preserving data publication, some recent work has pointed out a number of cases where it is not possible to limit inference about…
While previous works on privacy-preserving serial data publishing consider the scenario where sensitive values may persist over multiple data releases, we find that no previous work has sufficient protection provided for sensitive values…
Retargeting ads are increasingly prevalent on the Internet as their effectiveness has been shown to outperform conventional targeted ads. Retargeting ads are not only based on users' interests, but also on their intents, i.e. commercial…
The 21st century belongs to the world of computing, specially as a result of the so-called cloud computing. This technology enables ubiquitous information management and thus people can access all their data from any place and at any time.…
