In order to enable collaboration between different parties it is necessary that the partners reach an agreement on the policy rules that will govern their interaction. While state-of-the-art mechanisms will allow the parties to reconcile their polices, today's policy reconciliation protocols have two main shortcomings. First, they violate privacy since at least one of the parties is required to discloses all its information during the reconciliation process. Second, they generally lack fairness, i.e., the parties' preferences are not recognized. This research is geared to develop novel techniques that enable both private and fair policy reconciliation.The benefits of this research go far beyond the field of policy reconciliation itself. In fact, policy reconciliation is expected to play an increasingly important role in managing and securing infrastructures and procedures, ranging from day-to-day activities such as scheduling an appointment online, to enhancing interoperation in today's cell phone infrastructure, to the architecture of the Future Internet.

为了实现不同各方之间的协作，合作伙伴有必要就管理其交互的策略规则达成一致。虽然最先进的机制将允许各方协调其政策，但今天的政策协调协议有两个主要缺点。首先，它们侵犯隐私，因为在和解过程中，至少有一方需要披露其所有信息。其次，它们普遍缺乏公平性，即当事人的偏好不被承认。这项研究旨在开发新的技术，使私人和公平的政策协调。这项研究的好处远远超出了政策协调领域本身。事实上，政策协调预计将在管理和保护基础设施和程序方面发挥越来越重要的作用，从安排在线预约等日常活动，到加强当今手机基础设施的互操作，再到未来互联网的体系结构。
