TWC: Small: Redesigning Mobile Privacy: Helping Developers to Protect Users

这个项目的目标是帮助开发人员在制作应用程序？个人信息的使用对移动的电话用户、系统集成商和其他评估者透明。最近广为人知的移动的隐私事件表明，所有这些方面都不知道移动的设备收集、存储和传输什么信息。一个成功的项目将有助于提高隐私和应用程序的透明度，并有助于防止未来的隐私泄露。项目成果可用于移动的操作系统，并可指导联邦贸易委员会关于移动的隐私的政策。该项目包括与行业利益相关者密切合作，以促进新思想的传播。工作将与研究生和本科生，这不仅将为他们提供研究方法的培训，但也暴露他们在移动的应用程序的隐私问题周围的重要道德问题进行。该项目将帮助开发人员，并通过使他们对个人信息的使用透明化来推动他们遵守隐私原则。为此，该项目将制定隐私感知系统API的指导方针，鼓励开发人员采用隐私设计技术。例如，从隐私角度设计的系统API将更容易获得更一般的信息，而不是潜在的更敏感，细粒度的个人信息。通过与开发人员和用户的案例研究，该项目预计将导致对这些技术的有效性的新见解。

The objective of this project is to help developers in making applications? usage of personal information transparent to mobile phone users, system integrators, and other evaluators. Recent well-publicized mobile privacy incidents have demonstrated all these parties have lost count of what information mobile devices collect, store, and transmit. A successful project would lead to improved privacy and application transparency, and would help prevent future privacy compromises. Project results could be adopted into mobile operating systems and could guide FTC policy on mobile privacy. The project includes close collaboration with industry stakeholders to facilitate dissemination of new ideas. Work will be conducted with graduate and undergraduate students, which will not only provide them with training in research methodology, but also expose them to important ethical questions surrounding privacy issues in mobile applications. This project will aid developers and nudge them to follow privacy principles by making their usage of personal information transparent. Towards this end, this project will develop guidelines for privacy-aware system APIs that encourage developers to employ privacy-by-design techniques. For example, system APIs designed from a privacy perspective will make it easier to obtain more general information, rather than potentially more sensitive, fine-grained personal information. Through case studies with developers and users, this project is expected to lead to novel insights into the effectiveness of these techniques.
