社交网站(SNS)在医疗保健中的使用越来越多，导致越来越多的人在网上发布个人健康信息。这些网站可能会向许多不同的个人和组织披露用户的健康信息，并出于各种商业和研究目的挖掘这些信息，但向未经授权的个人或实体泄露个人健康信息会带来随之而来的担忧，即用户可能会面临更大的隐私损失风险。许多用户出于不同的目的加入多个社交网络，并将涵盖社会、专业和健康领域的个人和其他特定信息输入到其他网站。多个在线和真实社交网络的整合使用户容易受到无意和故意的安全威胁和滥用。本文分析了领先的健康相关社交网络的隐私和安全特征。它提供了一个威胁模型，并确定了对用户和SNS提供商最重要的威胁。在威胁分析和建模的基础上，提出了一种结合个人自我保护和设计隐私保护方法的隐私保护模型，并利用该模型制定了保护用户隐私的原则和对策。本研究为健康类社交网络隐私保护机制的分析与设计奠定了基础。
The increasing use of social networking sites (SNS) in health care has resulted in a growing number of individuals posting personal health information online. These sites may disclose users' health information to many different individuals and organizations and mine it for a variety of commercial and research purposes, yet the revelation of personal health information to unauthorized individuals or entities brings a concomitant concern of greater risk for loss of privacy among users. Many users join multiple social networks for different purposes and enter personal and other specific information covering social, professional, and health domains into other websites. Integration of multiple online and real social networks makes the users vulnerable to unintentional and intentional security threats and misuse. This paper analyzes the privacy and security characteristics of leading health-related SNS. It presents a threat model and identifies the most important threats to users and SNS providers. Building on threat analysis and modeling, this paper presents a privacy preservation model that incorporates individual self-protection and privacy-by-design approaches and uses the model to develop principles and countermeasures to protect user privacy. This study paves the way for analysis and design of privacy-preserving mechanisms on health-related SNS.
