Abstract

As society becomes increasingly dependent on software, there is an increasing expectation of information systems to protect the individual's right to privacy. The process of attaining electronic consent (e-Consent) may perhaps improve the trust that society has in information systems to protect these rights. However, an issue such as e-Consent is usually not given due consideration, as it is a non-functional issue and the implementation of the e-consent mechanism in disparate and legacy systems is difficult. Hence many systems are implemented without such types of controls. Evidently, aspect-oriented software design is highly extensible, as security concerns may be easily integrated into a completed software product. In this paper it is proposed that aspect-oriented programming be used to augment an existing system with electronic consent.
