Abstract

Privacy issue is receiving a great deal of attention since the need of privacy is increasing and new threats are emerging. The growing concern of users for their personal information has made it critical to implant effective technologies for privacy and data management. A common way for privacy preservation is restricting access to data like the classic Role-based Access Control (RBAC) Model. But the RBAC is limited as it does not provide users enough flexibilities and functionalities. In order to minimize the disclosure of data and support higher flexibilities for users to manage their privacy information, this paper provides a privacy data graph based on the traditional RBAC model to illustrate the linkage between data elements. Moreover, the notion of purpose is added to specify the intended usage of data and allow users to set personal privacy preferences through purpose. A case study in the healthcare domain is provided. As our model is generic, it can be also adapted to other fields. A detailed view of our proposed privacy system with experimental result is provided.
