PET-USES: Privacy-Enhancing Technology - Users' Self-Estimation Scale
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the “Privacy-Enhancing Technology Users’ Self-Estimation Scale (PET-USES)”, a questionnaire that enables users to evaluate PET user interfaces for their overall usability and to measure six different PET aspects. The PET-USES is intended to be used during usability testing and evaluation of PET user interfaces. The focus of the PET-USES is the subjective experience of the user rather than the intrinsic PET functionality of the application being tested. Although the test has been developed within the PrimeLife project to test the usability of PETs developed therein, the test is constructed in such a fashion that it should be applicable to a wide variety of PETs. The objective of this paper is to outline the creation and the background of the PET-USES questionnaire and invite the usability community not only to use the test, but also to contribute to the further development of the PET-USES.

Network Forensics and Privacy Enhancing Technologies “living” together in harmony
Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) is the technology responsible to hide the identification of Internet users, whereas network forensics is a technology responsible to reveal the identification of Internet users who perform illegal actions through the Internet. The paper identifies the collision of these opposite-goal technologies and describes what happens in case they come across. Can a Netwo...
متن کاملPrivacy Enhancing Tools: A Literature Review on End-User Role and Evaluation
Trends show that privacy concerns are rising, but end users are not armed with enough mechanisms to protect themselves. Privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) or more specifically, tools (PET-tools) are one of the mechanisms that could help users in this sense. These tools, however, reportedly have low adoption rates, and users tend to be reluctant to integrate them into their daily use of the I...
متن کاملPrivacy-Preserving Digital Rights Management
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology that provides content protection by enforcing the use of digital content according to granted rights. DRM can be privacy-invasive due to many reasons. The solution is not easy: there are economic and legitimate reasons for distributors and network operators to collect data about users and their activities, such as traffic modelling for infrastruct...
متن کاملBiometric Solutions as Privacy Enhancing Technologies
This research is focused on giving a comprehensive overview of the secure biometric systems field, analysing it from privacy enhancing technology (PET) perspective. The widespread use of biometric systems, the nature of the shared data, the kinds of use cases and the applications introduce privacy risks. Along these line, we are trying to respond to the matters of: “Can really biometrics be cha...
متن کاملPrivacy Enhancing Technologies for RFID in Retail- An Empirical Investigation
This article investigates the conflicting area of user benefits arising through item level RFID tagging and a desire for privacy. It distinguishes between three approaches feasible to address consumer privacy concerns. One is to kill RFID tags at store exits. The second is to lock tags and have user unlock them if they want to initiate reader communication (user scheme). The third is to let the...
