Privacy pattern catalogue: A tool for integrating privacy principles of ISO/IEC 29100 into the software development process

Abstract

A proper integration of privacy patterns into a software development process enables development of reliable and privacy-friendly software products. While previous work has identified some loosely connected privacy patterns, there exists no comprehensive privacy pattern catalogue that is specifically designed for the application by software architects during the software development process. To address this gap an interactive online privacy pattern catalogue was developed using patterns obtained from interviews with privacy experts as well as from existing privacy patterns work. The catalogue classifies patterns according to the description of the privacy principles of the international standard ISO/IEC 29100:2011 (E) and is, therefore, internationally applicable.
