Seda Gurses, Carmela Troncoso, and Claudia Diaz Abstract: The design and implementation of privacy requirements in systems is a dicult problem and requires the translation of complex social, legal and ethical concerns into systems requirements. The concept of \privacy by design" has been proposed to serve as a guideline on how to address these concerns. \Privacy by design" consists of a number of principles that can be applied from the onset of systems development to mitigate privacy concerns and achieve data protection compliance. However, these principles remain vague and leave many open questions about their application when engineering systems. In this paper we show how starting from data minimization is a necessary and foundational rst step to engineer systems in line with the principles of privacy by design. We rst discuss what data minimization can mean from a security engineering perspective. We then present a summary of two case studies in which privacy is achieved by minimizing dierent types of data, according to the purpose of each application. First, we present a privacy-preserving ePetition system, in which user's privacy is guaranteed by hiding their identity from the provider while revealing their votes. Secondly, we study a road tolling system, in which users have to be identied for billing reasons and data minimization is applied to protect further sensitive information (in this case location information). The case studies make evident that the application of data minimization does not necessarily imply anonymity, but may also be achieved by means of concealing information related to identiable individuals. In fact, dierent kinds of data minimization are possible, and each system requires careful crafting of data minimization best suited for its purpose. Most importantly, the two case studies underline that the interpretation of privacy by design principles requires specic engineering expertise [...]

S ̈oren Preibusch / Bettina Hoser Seda G ̈urses Bettina Berendt Abstract: Privacy has been recognized as an important topic in the Internet for a long time, and technological developments in the area of privacy tools are ongoing. However, their focus was mainly on the individual. With the proliferation of social network sites, it has become more evident that the problem of privacy is not bounded by the perimeters of individuals but also by the privacy needs of their social networks. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the discussion about privacy in social network sites, a topic which we consider to be severely under-researched. We propose a framework for analyzing privacy requirements and for analyzing privacy-related data. We outline a combination of requirements analysis, conflict-resolution techniques, and a P3P extension that can contribute to privacy within such sites. Keywords: World Wide Web, Privacy, Social Network Analysis, Require- ments Analysis, Privacy Negotiation, Ubiquity, P3P"

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to systematically develop privacy heuristics for Online Social Network Services (SNS). In order to achieve this, we provide an analytical framework in which we characterize privacy breaches that have occurred in SNS and distinguish different stakeholders' perspectives. Although SNS have been criticized for numerous grave privacy breaches, they have also proven to be an interesting space in which privacy design is implemented and critically taken up by users. Community involvement in the discovery of privacy breaches as well as in articulating privacy demands points to possibilities in user-driven privacy design. In our analysis we take a multilateral security analysis approach and identify conflicts in privacy interests and list points of intervention and negotiation. In our future research, we plan to validate the usefulness as well as the usability of these heuristics and to develop a framework for privacy design in SNS"

ENTREVISTA "After covering online privacy issues for years at The Wall Street Journal, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Julia Angwin asked what a lot of us are thinking: Is it possible to be an active participant in our increasingly connected world and avoid leaving a damaging digital trail, or at least keep a little of our privacy? In her new book, Dragnet Nation, Angwin describes how she spent 12 months changing her habits and using technological tools to protect herself from all the data-collecting dragnets that surround us-an experiment I'm all too familiar with, having done much the same for a PopMech cover story. Angwin quit Google, carried a burner phone, and lined her wallet with metallic film. I called her up to see if we could compare notes on our respective quests for privacy, security, and freedom."

Esta noticia va diciendo como el CEO de Google (Page) está en acuerdo de publicar toda información médica de los usuarios, con propósitos de investigación médica. Aunque nada asegura que ese sea realmente su finalidad.

When you are online, you provide information about yourself almost every step of the way. Often this information is like a puzzle with pieces that need to be connected before the full picture is revealed. Information you provide to one person or company may be combined with information you have provided to another person or company to complete the puzzle.

Un artículo interesante y reflexivo acerca del cómo debemos abordar la ciber seguridad de manera que no se viole la privacidad de un inocente.

Esto es algo que no debería suceder y por eso, nos hace tratar de reflexionar el artículo mismo sobre cuidar nuestra privacidad.
