Methodology: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, selecting eighty-eight articles published over the past fifteen years. The study assessed data gathering and storage practices, regulatory adherence, legal structures, consent procedures, user education, and strategies to mitigate risks. Results: The findings reveal significant advancements in technologies designed to safeguard privacy and facilitate the widespread use of mHealth apps. However, persistent ethical issues related to privacy remain largely unchanged despite these technological strides.展开更多

The cumulative effect increases in magnitude over day following the breach announcement, but then decreases. Besides, a new privacy protection property, that is, p-sensitive k-anonymity is presented in this paper to protect against identity disclosure. We illustrated the inclusion of the two necessary conditions in the algorithm for computing a p-k-minimal generalization. Algorithms such as k-anonymity and l-diversity remain all sensitive attributes intact and apply generalization and suppression to the quasi-identifiers. This will keep the data "truthful" and provide good utility for data-mining applications, while achieving less perfect privacy. We aim to get the problem based on the prior analysis, and study the issue of privacy protection from the perspective of the model-benefit.展开更多

Although information security and cyber security are sometimes used synonymously, this study contends that they are not the same. The concept of cyber security is explored, which goes beyond protecting information resources to include a wider variety of assets, including people [1]. Protecting information assets is the main goal of traditional information security, with consideration to the human element and how people fit into the security process. On the other hand, cyber security adds a new level of complexity, as people might unintentionally contribute to or become targets of cyberattacks. This aspect presents moral questions since it is becoming more widely accepted that society has a duty to protect weaker members of society, including children [1]. The study emphasizes how important cyber security is on a larger scale, with many countries creating plans and laws to counteract cyberattacks. Nevertheless, a lot of these sources frequently neglect to define the differences or the relationship between information security and cyber security [1]. The paper focus on differentiating between cybersecurity and information security on a larger scale. The study also highlights other areas of cybersecurity which includes defending people, social norms, and vital infrastructure from threats that arise from online in addition to information and technology protection. It contends that ethical issues and the human factor are becoming more and more important in protecting assets in the digital age, and that cyber security is a paradigm shift in this regard [1].展开更多

The existing PPDP technique cannot deal with generality attacks, which explicitly contain the sensitivity attack and the similarity attack. This paper proposes a novel model, (w,γ, k)-anonymity, to avoid generality attacks on both cases of numeric and categorical attributes. We show that the optimal (w, γ, k)-anonymity problem is NP-hard and conduct the Top-down Local recoding (TDL) algorithm to implement the model. Our experiments validate the improvement of our model with real data.展开更多
