如今，由于广告公司支持许多所谓的“免费”服务（如搜索或社交网络）的货币化，用户在互联网上的隐私处于高度危险之中。事实上，有几种机制被用来监控用户，并建立详细的配置文件，以定制行为广告。随着移动的设备使用的增加以及行为广告收入的增加，大型广告公司也出现在这一市场中。越来越多地使用移动的设备与Web交互以及使用移动的应用程序也引起了人们对它们的能耗的关注。一些研究从不同的角度探讨了这一问题，即，硬件，软件，以及通过分析不同的移动的applications.We的目标，在这项工作中消耗的能量是衡量的有效性的方法，利用基于硬件的仪器来研究隐私保护机制是否也能够有效地减少通信和计算开销，从而节省电池寿命的移动的手机的总体目标是一个更可持续的互联网。
Nowadays, users’ privacy on the Internet is highly at risk, due to the monetization by advertising companies that support many of the so-called “free” services such as searching or social networking. In fact, several mechanisms are used to monitor users and build detailed profiles to tailor behavioral advertising. Given the increasing use of mobile devices and the increasing revenues from behavioral advertising, large advertising companies are present in this market as well.The increasing use of mobile devices for interacting with the Web and using mobile applications has been also drawing attention to their energy consumption. Several studies have addressed this issue from different point of views, i.e., hardware, software, as well as by analyzing the energy drained by different mobile applications.Our goal in this work is to measure the effectiveness of a methodology that exploits a hardware-based instrumentation to study whether privacy-preserving mechanisms are also able to efficiently reduce communication and computation overhead and, thus, save the battery life of mobile phones with the overall aim of a more sustainable Internet.
