Designing privacy-enhancing mobile applications

Abstract

This paper evaluates the multi-paradigm modelling methodology for designing controlled anonymous applications, like applications that use trap-door anonymity. The methodology is applied to a class of mobile applications with strong security and privacy requirements. From this study, we detect the constraints in the existing methodology in the context of mobile applications, explore the solution space and define directions for research. Moreover, a first iteration of the realization of the existing design methodology is made. © 2012 IFIP International Federation for Information Processing.
