IPS: Collaborative Research: Privacy Management, Measurement, and Visualization in Distributed Environments

这个研究项目的目标是开发有效和实用的方法来管理、测量和可视化计算机系统和网络中的隐私。该方法包括：设计一个保护在线交易中敏感信息的框架；就从统计汇总数据推断个人私人信息所需付出的努力制定量化措施；将网络活动中泄露的隐私信息以及对隐私的威胁可视化。相关的教育工作涉及计算机科学入门课程中隐私概念的教学。该项目的成果使互联网应用程序的部署能够为用户和服务提供商提供强有力的隐私保障。这些结果在项目网站（http://www.ics.uci.edu/~goodrich/projects/privacy/）上发布。

The goal of this research project is to develop efficient and practical methods for the management, measurement, and visualization of privacy in computer systems and networks. The approach consists of: designing a framework for protecting sensitive information in online transactions; formulating quantitative measures of the effort required to infer individual private information from statistical aggregate data; and visualizing the private information disclosed in online activities as well as threats to privacy. The linked educational effort addresses the teaching of privacy concepts in introductory computer science courses. The results of the project enable the deployment of Internet applications with strong privacy assurance for users and service providers. These results are disseminated on the project Web site(http://www.ics.uci.edu/~goodrich/projects/privacy/).
