“…In addition to the already mentioned P3P and APPEL languages, several other machine-readable policy languages for privacy policies and preferences have been proposed. Examples are Ponder [8], which is a language for specifying management and security policies for distributed systems, and Rei [17], which is designed and distributed for dynamic environments like pervasive systems. Duma et al [10] provide a comparison and review of a selection of the proposed policy languages with respect to privacy.…”

Abstract-Privacy policies are commonly used by service providers to state how personal data obtained from users will be handled. However, the complexity and sheer length of such policies make them incomprehensible to the common web user. This paper surveys user agents that automatically fetch and compare privacy policies with privacy preferences, in order to help the end-user understand the implications of personal data disclosure. We discuss why previous efforts have experienced only moderate success, identify the main areas of improvement and point out directions for future work.

“…Most of the current trust management frameworks are aimed at authentication or access control, whereas we are aiming at a more abstract form of trust specification which can then be analysed and evaluated, although it may be used as the basis for generating access control and authentication policies. We eventually hope to use SULTAN trust specifications as a starting point for deriving Ponder security management policies (Damianou et al, 1995) for authorisation and authentication or to make trust-based authorisation decisions.…”

Abstract:The Internet is now being used for commercial, social and educational interactions, which previously relied on direct face-to-face contact in order to establish trust relationships. Thus, there is a need to be able to establish and evaluate trust relationships relying only on electronic interactions over the Internet. A trust framework for Internet applications should incorporate concepts such as experience, reputation and trusting propensity in order to specify and evaluate trust. SULTAN (Simple Universal Logic-oriented Trust Analysis Notation) is an abstract, logic-oriented notation designed to facilitate the specification and analysis of trust relationships. SULTAN seeks to address all the above issues, although this paper focuses on our initial work on trust specification and analysis.

“…Binding strategies are all defined as policy rules externally to the proxy code; policies can be specified even at run-time with no intervention on the proxy code and are evaluated on the basis of dynamic operating conditions. SCaLaDE expresses the binding strategies in the Ponder language, which permits the specification of several types of management policies for distributed systems and networks [15]. For instance, Ponder includes authorization policies for access control, obligation policies for proactive management, and organizational policies used to structure responsibility based on organizational models, e.g., role policies.…”

Abstract. The widespread diffusion of mobile computing and of portable devices with wireless connectivity identifies new challenging scenarios for the Internet provisioning of information services. The possible mobility of users, terminals, and even middleware/service components requires solutions to handle properly the links to information resources in response to the mobile entity migration. Binding decisions may depend on dynamic deployment conditions, e.g., local availability of resources, user preferences, and terminal hardware/software characteristics, and should be determined at service provision time. There is the need for novel middlewares capable of supporting mobility-enabled resource binding and of cleanly separating the application logic from binding strategies. The paper presents a middleware, called SCaLaDE, that supports the accessibility of mobile users/terminals to information services. SCaLaDE provides mobile clients with mobile agentbased proxies that can follow the user/terminal roaming and have their resource references transparently accommodated by the middleware depending on policy-driven binding strategies expressed in a high-level specification language and separated from the application logic. This separation of concerns is crucial to reduce the complexity and leverage the development of mobilityenabled information services.
