Contributors Introduction Widespread deployment of Intelligent Infrastructure and the Internet of Things (IoT) creates large quantities passively-generated data. This has ushered in the era of data-rich applications, such as location-based services, while posing new privacy threats. This project explores the challenges that arise in applying use-based privacy to such data. We have developed Ancile, a platform that enforces use-based privacy for applications wishing to access users' personal data. We find that Ancile constitutes a functional, performant platform for deploying privacy-enhancing ubiquitous computing applications. System design Ancile supports the development of privacy-aware applications. It acts as a trusted computing environment, ensuring users' data is used only in ways that are compliant with a well defined, use-based privacy policy. Anclie enforces this policy as a middleware layer, sitting between personal data sources (e.g., mail server, location data server, etc.) and third-party application","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/ancile-project","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/ancile-project/ancile/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
