Modeling Identity-Related Properties and Their Privacy Strength

چکیده
In the last years several attempts to define identity-related properties such as identifiability, pseudonymity and anonymity have been made to analyze the privacy offered by information systems and protocols. However, these definitions are generally incomparable, making it difficult to generalize the results of their analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for formalizing and comparing identity-related properties. The framework employs the notions of detectability, associability and provability to assess the knowledge of an adversary. We show how these notions can be used to specify well-known identity-related properties and classify them with respect to their logical relations and privacy strength. We also demonstrate that the proposed framework is able to capture and compare several existing definitions of identity-related properties.

An Effective Method for Utility Preserving Social Network Graph Anonymization Based on Mathematical Modeling
In recent years, privacy concerns about social network graph data publishing has increased due to the widespread use of such data for research purposes. This paper addresses the problem of identity disclosure risk of a node assuming that the adversary identifies one of its immediate neighbors in the published data. The related anonymity level of a graph is formulated and a mathematical model is...

متن کاملAn Epistemic Approach to Compositional Reasoning about Anonymity and Privacy
In this paper, we present an epistemic logic approach to the compositionality of several privacy-related informationhiding/disclosure properties. The properties considered here are anonymity, privacy, onymity, and identity. Our initial observation reveals that anonymity and privacy are not necessarily sequentially compositional; this means that even though a system comprising several sequential...
متن کاملLanguage Proficiency and Identity: Developing a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) of Identity for Iranian EFL Learners
This study was an endeavor to develop a model of identity among Iranian EFL learners. To achieve this end, a multiphase design was implemented. Initially, it attempted to investigate different factors of identity to propose and validate a model. Thus, 120 EFL learners studying in different English language institutes in Iran were randomly selected, and 36 learners were interviewed about their v...
