Dear all,
We have submitted a research paper entitled "Privacy Enhancing Technologies for
solving the Privacy-Personalization Paradox" that has been very recently accepted to
the highly ranked Journal of Network and Computer Applications 2020. The file which is
1.5Mo is temporary available on:

Abstract:
Personal data are often collected and processed in a decen- tralized fashion, within
different contexts. For instance, with the emer- gence of distributed applications,
several providers are usually correlat- ing their records, and providing personalized
services to their clients. Collected data include geographical and indoor positions of
users, their movement patterns as well as sensor-acquired data that may reveal users’
physical conditions, habits and interests. Consequently, this may lead to undesired
consequences such as unsolicited advertisement and even to discrimination and stalking. To
protect users’ privacy, several tech- niques emerged, referred to as Privacy Enhancing
Technologies, PETs for short, aiming at providing privacy preserving personalized ser-
vices i.e., recommendation services, web-search systems and pervasive applications.This
paper identifies a taxonomy classifying eight categories of PETs into three groups, and
for better clarity it considers three categories of per- sonalized services. After
presenting the main features of PETs with illustrative examples, the paper points out
which PETs best fit each person- alized service category. Then, it discusses some of the
inter-disciplinary privacy challenges that may slow down the adoption of these techniques,
namely: technical, social, legal and economic concerns. Finally, it pro- vides
recommendations and highlights several research directions.
Please find the pre-final version of our paper attached to this email.
If the dissemination committee raises no objections, we would like to acknowledge the
SPARTA project.
Best regards,
