Abstract:
In a highly connected and collaborated world, privacy is always a pressing issue. New technologies, such as cloud computing and service-oriented architecture, made system collaboration possible, which, in return, made privacy and security a challenge. This research paper focuses on designing a comprehensive technical architecture to negotiate and preserve privacy policy in pervasive computing environments. The architecture addresses the problem of user’s privacy by developing dynamically controlled mechanisms that would allow the inhabitants of the environment to control what information is collected about them, how it is being processed, and under what circumstances it can be shared. The architecture allows users to have more control and negotiate their privacy policy as well as resolve any conflict that may occur during normal operations of the system.
