IP Bouncer: An End-User Network Privacy Enhancing Tool
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internet Protocol (IP) Bouncer is a novel Information Technology (IT) artifact that exposes unexpected and unwanted network communication initiated by trusted “insider” applications. It closely follows design science guidelines illustrated in the five design principles of the artifact. One of the novel aspects of the design is the key-pair approach used for assessing appropriate or inappropriate network communications. By coupling the context-awareness of the user with online aggregators of blacklists, IP Bouncer offers greater individual and organizational security protection and earlier detection of network anomalies.

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 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...
