ESR10: Multi-party social contracts and privacy mechanisms
Objectives:
The trend of personalised digital services inspires us to look for new models for definitions and legislations regarding privacy. The social contract approach is a promising concept to model privacy in a future of personalised digital services from the perspective of cross-party rights and duties provenance and computational negotiation instead of trying to define information ownership. There are uncertainties in the legal, ethical, and technological aspects of implementing this concept in practice. This researcher position will investigate and evaluate the regulatory, technical, and ethical feasibility using social contract and contract-based identity management to protect privacy in the future, and the researcher will be trained to become an expert in the social contract approach to model privacy.
