Abstract

Distributed software systems are increasingly found in many aspects of our lives, as can be seen in social media, international online banking, and international commerce (e.g. Internet shopping). This widespread involvement of software in our lives has led to the need to protect privacy, as the use of the software often requires us to input our personal or private information. A first step to protecting privacy is to identify the risks to privacy found in the software system. Once the risks are known, measures can be put in place to mitigate the risks. This is best done at the early stages of software development due to the heavy costs of making changes after the software is deployed. This paper proposes a two-pronged approach, consisting of privacy risk identification followed by risk mitigation, for adding privacy protection to distributed software. The paper illustrates the approach with examples.
