Abstract

Businesses and government agencies are continuously generating and collecting huge amounts of data and building related Big Data applications. Big Data applications involve the collaborative integration of APIs from different providers. A challenge in this domain is to guarantee the conformance of the integration to privacy terms and regulations. In this paper, we present JPrivacy, a privacy profiling framework for Big Data applications. JPrivacy proposes a model for privacy rules and provide the algorithms and related tools to check Java code against these rules. We show through experimentation that JPrivacy can effectively detect privacy violations by statically analyzing a piece of code.
