Privacy Enhanced Data Management for Next-Generation E-Commerce

Electronic commerce is becoming pervasive. Convergence of wireless, wireline, and telephony networks enables a new level of web services. How do we ensure that pervasive doesn't become invasive? Meeting this goal requires advances in several technologies: profile data management, preference and policy management, personalized and privacy-conscious data sharing. The data required to generate and utilize these profiles raises significant privacy issues. This tutorial will survey reasons behind these privacy constraints and their impact on data management, emerging technologies that enable the necessary private data management, and research needed to achieve this vision.
