A Case Study on Privacy in Mobile Computing Environment

In the developing world it is require access to services in the financial, agricultural, business, government and healthcare sectors. Due to constraints of the existing infrastructure (power, communications, etc), it is often difficult to deliver these services to remote areas in a timely and efficient manner. Many of the applications built with mobile phone and a centralized server can exchange information and get the collected data backed up on reliable media. For this Mobile systems and applications are raising some important information security and privacy issues. This requires a mechanism for capturing user information and making it available to users. However, storing and exchanging potentially personal information raises user privacy concerns. This work describes a general framework to providing privacy and aware personalization in mobile computing environments.
