Proposal Number: 0751069PI: Bulent Yener Institution: Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteProposal Number: 0751095PI: Aggelos Kiayias Institution: University of Connecticut Title: SGER: Collaborative Research: Secure and Auditable Privacy ContractsProposal AbstractOne of the major challenges imposed by the pervasiveness ofcyberspace is to ensure ``trust'' and design trustworthy systems tosupport the critical infrastructure for official, commercial, andpersonal business. Millions of everyday users pass their personnelinformation over the Internet to their health-care providers, totheir banks, to insurance companies and other service providers.Once such personnel information is transferred, in many cases, it isoutsourced to other parties (some of which may even reside inforeign countries) for storage and processing. It may be sold orresold for data mining.The collection, processing and resale of private data is amulti-million dollar industry that has serious security and privacybreaches including inadvertently revealing or loosing thepersonal information of thousands or millions of people.While there is a clear need for knowledge discovery for commercial(e.g., marketing, insurance design), scientific and even securityreasons (e.g., identifying public health problem outbreaks such asepidemics, biological warfare instances), at present, ``dataproducers'' (i.e., users like all of us) have no control of who,how, and what exactly is done with such private and sensitive data.This proposal considers the above fundamental problem by introducinga novel mechanism called secure and auditable privacycontracting (SAP-Contracting). An SAP-Contract can be used todefine a tradeoff between level of privacy and amount of datamining. Such a tradeoff can be negotiated and customized betweendata sources and data miners. An SAP-Contract defines precisely thefunctions and permitions that can be performed in personnel records.It aims to bridge the need for privacy with the need for datacollection, transfer, marketing and processing; thus, enablesensitive private data to be treated as a commodity.SAP-Contracting is different from the current state of art such asprivacy preserving data mining approaches since it does not rely onserver based data hiding. It complements and benefits from theresearch on cryptographic databases.The PIs propose to design, implement and test a prototype of thisparadigm to establish a proof of a concept and show provablesecurity properties of SAP-Contracts, includingconfidentiality, integrity, and auditability.If successful this project will provide provable and auditableprivacy. It will marry privacy and data mining research withdifferent economical models and venture into new research areas.

提案编号：0751069 PI：Bulent Yener 机构名称： Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteProposal Number：0751095 PI：Aggelos Kiayias 机构： 康涅狄格大学 职务名称： SGER：合作研究：安全和可审计的隐私合同提案摘要网络空间的普及所带来的主要挑战之一是确保“信任”，并设计可信赖的系统来支持官方，商业和个人业务的关键基础设施。 数以百万计的日常用户通过互联网将个人信息传递给他们的医疗保健提供者、银行、保险公司和其他服务提供者。一旦这些个人信息被传递，在许多情况下，它就被外包给其他方（其中一些甚至可能居住在外国）进行存储和处理。私人数据的收集、处理和转售是一个价值数百万美元的行业，存在严重的安全和隐私漏洞，包括无意中泄露或丢失 数千或数百万人的个人信息。虽然存在用于商业（例如，营销，保险设计），科学甚至安全原因（例如，确定公共卫生问题爆发，如流行病，生物战实例），目前，“数据生产者”（即，我们所有的用户）都无法控制谁、如何以及到底对这些私人和敏感数据做了什么。该提案通过引入一种称为安全和可审计的隐私合同（SAP合同）的新机制来考虑上述基本问题。SAP合约可以用来定义隐私级别和数据挖掘量之间的权衡。这样的权衡可以在数据源和数据挖掘者之间进行协商和定制。SAP合同精确地定义了可以在个人记录中执行的功能和权限。它旨在将隐私需求与收集、传输、营销和处理的需求联系起来;因此，使敏感的私人数据能够被视为商品。SAP合同不同于当前的隐私保护数据挖掘方法，因为它不依赖于基于服务器的数据隐藏。它补充和受益于密码数据库的研究，PI建议设计，实现和测试这个范例的原型，建立一个概念的证明，并显示SAP合同的可证明的安全属性，包括机密性，完整性和可验证性，如果成功，这个项目将提供可证明和可验证的隐私。它将把隐私和数据挖掘研究与不同的经济模型结合起来，并冒险进入新的研究领域。
