Abstract:
Effective solutions for privacy protection are of interest to industry\, government and society at large\, but the challenge is to satisfy the often-conflicting requirements of all these stakeholders. Legislation (such as HIPAA\, COPPA and GLBA) that constra ins privacy and security practices within systems and organizations pres ent additional technical challenges. This seminar will discuss mechanism s that enterprises can use to ensure that their systems are compliant wi th both the policies they articulate and law. Additionally\, we will add ress the need to understand how to specify\, deploy\, communicate and en force privacy policies. Legislators and regulatory bodies need mechanism s to verify how privacy-related laws are actually enforced by enterprise s in their software systems. To this end\, we are developing compliance monitors to detect violation of stakeholder rights and obligations as e xpressed in law. Finally\, end-users must be able to easily understand p rivacy policies and need effective\, transparent and comprehensible onli ne privacy-protection mechanisms -- we will discuss preliminary results of our most recent survey of 975 Internet users in which we compared var ious ways to represent privacy management information to online healthca re consumers.
