PRIVACY-AWARENESS IN WEB APPLICATIONS AND SERVICES: A RESEARCH ROADMAP

Frequently users have to provide personal information for being able to use web applications and services. They are commonly confronted with a privacy policy that they must accept, implicitly trusting the provider organization to protect their privacy. The recent trend to develop frameworks for privacy policy definition has moved the state-of-the-art forward, but did not solve the main problems: allow users to express their privacy requirements and assure that these requirements will be enforced. This paper discusses the main challenges towards the development of privacy-aware web applications and services and proposes a research roadmap to tackle these challenges.
