CO-PRIVACY: Privacidad sostenible para una sociedad de la información sostenible

Funder: Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación

Call: Programa de Proyectos de Investigación Fundamental no orientada (Proy IFNO 2011) (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación)

Of National scope.

CO-PRIVACY has a paradigm-changing vision of double sustainability: on the one hand, privacy preservation is essential to make the information society sustainable just as environment preservation is essential to make the physical world sustainable; on the other hand, privacy preservation itself should be sustainable, and be achieved effortlessly as the result of rational co-operation rather than as an expensive legal requirement. The theoretical objective of CO-PRIVACY is to develop the theory of coprivacy, general coprivacy and mixed coprivacy to characterize the classes of problems that can be solved using oprivate protocols, generally coprivate protocols and mixedly coprivate protocols, respectively. Proposing suitable utility functions to reflect the rational interests of players is also an important theoretical challenge.
