Personal Information Markets AND Privacy: A New Model to Solve the Controversy
From the early days of the information economy, personal data has been its most valuable asset. Despite data protection laws, companies trade personal information and often intrude on the privacy of individuals. As a result, consumers feel out of control and lose trust in electronic environments. Technologists and regulators are struggling to develop solutions that meet businessesâ demand for more personal information while maintaining privacy. However, no promising proposals seem to be in sight. We propose a 3-tier personal information market model with privacy. In our model, clear roles, rights and obligations for all actors re-establish trust. The ârelationship spaceâ enables data subjects and visible business partners to build trusting relationships. The âservice spaceâ supports customer relationships with distributed information processing. The ârich information spaceâ enables anonymized information exchange. To transition to this model, we show how existing privacy-enhancing technologies and legal requirements can be integrated
End-user Empowerment in the Digital Age
End-user empowerment (or human empowerment) may be seen as an important aspect of a human-centric approach towards the digital economy. Despite the role of end-users has been recognized as a key element in information systems and end-user computing, empowering end-users may be seen as a next evolutionary step. This minitrack aims at advancing the understanding of what end-user empowerment really is, what the main challenges to develop end-user empowering systems are, and how end-user empowerment may be achieved in specific domains
Individual Risk Management for Digital Payment Systems
Despite existing security standards and security technologies, such as secure hardware, gaps between usersâ demand for security and the security offered by a payment system can still remain. These security gaps imply risks for users. In this paper, we introduce a framework for the management of those risks. As a result, we present an instrument enabling users to evaluate eventual risks related with digital payment systems and to handle these risks with technical and economic instruments.Payment Systems, Digital Money
Privacy as an Asset
Many attempts to define privacy have been made over the last century. Early definitions and theories of privacy had little to do with the concept of information and, when they did, only in an informal sense. With the advent of information technology, the question of a precise and universally acceptable definition of privacy in this new domain became an urgent issue as legal and business problems regarding privacy started to accrue. In this paper, I propose a definition of informational privacy that is simple, yet strongly tied with the concepts of information and property. Privacy thus defined is similar to intellectual property and should receive commensurate legal protection

Big Data Privacy Context: Literature Effects On Secure Informational Assets
This article's objective is the identification of research opportunities in
the current big data privacy domain, evaluating literature effects on secure
informational assets. Until now, no study has analyzed such relation. Its
results can foster science, technologies and businesses. To achieve these
objectives, a big data privacy Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is performed
on the main scientific peer reviewed journals in Scopus database. Bibliometrics
and text mining analysis complement the SLR. This study provides support to big
data privacy researchers on: most and least researched themes, research
novelty, most cited works and authors, themes evolution through time and many
others. In addition, TOPSIS and VIKOR ranks were developed to evaluate
literature effects versus informational assets indicators. Secure Internet
Servers (SIS) was chosen as decision criteria. Results show that big data
privacy literature is strongly focused on computational aspects. However,
individuals, societies, organizations and governments face a technological
change that has just started to be investigated, with growing concerns on law
and regulation aspects. TOPSIS and VIKOR Ranks differed in several positions
and the only consistent country between literature and SIS adoption is the
United States. Countries in the lowest ranking positions represent future
research opportunities.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figure
