Emerging Privacy Issues and Solutions in Cyber-Enabled Sharing Services: From Multiple Perspectives

Abstract

Fast development of sharing services has become a crucial part of the cyber-enabled world construction process, as sharing services reinvent how people exchange and obtain goods or services. However, privacy leakage or disclosure remains as a key concern during the sharing service development process. While significant efforts have been undertaken to address various privacy issues in recent years, there is a surprising lack of review for privacy concerns in the cyber-enabled sharing world. To bridge the gap, in this study, we survey and evaluate existing and emerging privacy issues relating to sharing services from various perspectives. Differing from existing similar works on surveying sharing practices in various fields, our work comprehensively covers six branches of sharing services in the cyberenabled world, and selects solutions mostly from the recent five to six years. We conclude the issues and solutions from three perspectives, namely, from users', platforms' and service providers' perspectives. Hot topics and less discussed (cold) topics are identified, which provides hints to researchers for their future studies.

Fabric Defect Detection in Textile Manufacturing: A Survey of the State of the Art

“…In the future, more work needs to be done in the process of moving towards Industry 4.0 [122,123]. Smart manufacturing integrates various technologies, covering robotics, CPS, IoT, big data analytics [124], and cloud computing.…”

BCVehis: A Blockchain-Based Service Prototype of Vehicle History Tracking for Used-Car Trades in China

“…In the automotive industry, three main objectives can be achieved through BCT. First, business-related data could be exchanged in a reliable way [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Second, data produced by vehicles would be monetized by selling unused capability through ride sharing service.…”

“…However, under traditional mode, there is no appropriate mechanism for a vehicle owner to claim the vehicle condition with trustable supporting documents, whereas the new buyer has no way of easily checking and verifying the vehicle history. The vehicle-related information is completely unequal for both the owner and new buyer, which is the main barrier in the used-car transactions [3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Efficient Mincuts Identification for Phased-Mission Systems

“…In summary, IncRed (InImpRed (IncRed(F) To illustrate the application and advantages of the proposed MCS identification approach, we apply the method to a highly-reliable distributed computing infrastructure developed for various computing missions for scientific experiments [29,30].…”
