Abstract:
Patterns are a useful approach to describe, organize and present solutions and best practices for design problems. Although much work can be found concerning either patterns or privacy, work focusing on patterns for Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET) is very rare. This paper describes the development of User Interfaces Patterns for PET and the benefit of using them. We used different proven approaches and guidelines and merged them for creating efficient and useable patterns for PETs. Anyhow, some of our patterns were not tested much with end-users, so further tests will be necessary to prove worth of the patterns. Nevertheless, we maintain that our patterns will support the development of PET UIs. In this paper, we provide a short overview of the whole pattern collection and present two patterns in detail.
