Abstract

En 中文
In this paper, we integrate insights from diverse islands of research on electronic privacy to offer a holistic view of privacy engineering and a systematic structure for the discipline's topics. First, we discuss privacy requirements grounded in both historic and contemporary perspectives on privacy. We use a three-layer model of user privacy concerns to relate them to system operations (data transfer, storage, and processing) and examine their effects on user behavior. In the second part of this paper, we develop guidelines for building privacy-friendly systems. We distinguish two approaches: privacy-by-policy and privacy-by-architecture. The privacy-by-policy approach focuses on the implementation of the notice and choice principles of fair information practices, while the privacy-by-architecture approach minimizes the collection of identifiable personal data and emphasizes anonymization and client-side data storage and processing. We discuss both approaches with a view to their technical overlaps and boundaries as well as to economic feasibility. This paper aims to introduce engineers and computer scientists to the privacy research domain and provide concrete guidance on how to design privacy-friendly systems.
