Bachelor Thesis: Designing a User-friendly Interface for the Definition of Context-aware Privacy Policies
Title:
Designing a
User-friendly Interface for the Definition of Context-aware Privacy
Policies
Description:
Due to progress in the development of mobile
communication, location-based services, which
provide a multitude of services through the
user’s positional data, have recently taken on
im-
portance. Those location-based services can be
divided into two groups: The reactive
services,
on the one hand, that are explicitly requested by
the user. Then the current location of the
mobile device is send to the corresponding server.
Pro-active services, on the other hand, work
through continuous, automatic location tracking in
the background, and react to such events as
entering and leaving geographical zones. Today’s
technologies in mobile devices are enabling
precise location determination whenever and
wherever. Many location-based services, such
as
navigational systems, provide a
significant increment value for many users
and are therefore
not to be missed from everyday life. Nevertheless,
those services also increase privacy concerns
of consumers because misuse of personal data by
public and private facilities has increased,
as
well. Missing trust and limited possibilities to
control, especially while using proactive
ser-
vices on mobile devices - which data is send when
and why - are posing a central problem
when it comes to the acceptance of location-based
services. A special privacy-framework
would offer a solution by providing individual
device-based privacy policies. Hereby the
user
gets the option to decide when, where and in how
precise his location information is sent to
a external service. The generation and
administration of such policies, however, should not
be
too complex and opaque for the ordinary user. That
is why new privacy policies should be
simple, intuitive, and possible to be created in a
reasonable amount of time. The purpose of
this thesis, therefore, is to pose a draft and
implementation for a user-friendly
administration
of individual privacy policies for mobile
location-based services on the Android platform.
To
test the acceptance and applicability of such
policies, the user interface was integrated into
an
already existing geofencing system. The evaluation
has shown that the acceptance of individu-
al device-based privacy policies for
location-based services in connection with a
user-friendly
and efficient
administration has been very high.
