Towards Privacy-Aware Mobile Device Sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern smartphones are loaded with sensible data. At the same time, there are situations, in which a user must share or wants to share the device with others. Since common authentication methods still follow a single-sign-on approach, new privacy issues arise. We argue that sharing cannot always be avoided and thus should be supported by refined authentication systems. Our assumption is based on the findings of a focus group that we conducted to get insights about sharing practices, privacy threats and need for protection.

متن کاملTowards Decentralized, Energy- and Privacy-Aware Device-to-Device Content Delivery
Device-to-Device (D2D) content delivery is a new approach to directly exchange content between mobile devices, which allows to offload traffic from infrastructure-based networks and thus reduces the risk of congestion. While centralized D2D approaches rely on the mobile operator to discover nearby devices and initiate a content transfer, in decentralized D2D the devices autonomously and opportu...
