Privacy threat model for data portability in social network applications

Author

  • Weiss, Stefan

Abstract

The advent of the participatory Web and social network applications has changed our communication behaviour and the way we express ourselves on the Web. Social network application providers benefit from the increasing amount of personally identifiable information willingly displayed on their sites but, at the same time, risks of data misuse threaten the information privacy of individual users as well as the providers’ business model. From recent research, this paper reports the major requirements for developing privacy-preserving social network applications and proposes a privacy threat model that can be used to enhance the information privacy in data or social network portability initiatives by determining the issues at stake related to the processing of personally identifiable information.
