Abstract
Cyber-I (or Cyber-Individual) is a digital clone of a real person (Real-I), which is continuously approximating to the Real-I. It was proposed in 2009 and a research team led by Jianhua Ma has been working on its conceptual definitions and system designs [1]. After a brief introduction of the concept of Cyber-I, this talk will focus on one of the challenging issues: privacy of personal data. In this talk, a Cyber-I privacy model which is a systematic description of a Real-I’s privacy preferences and needs will be presented. Our preliminary effort has been put on the following three aspects: a generic privacy preference setting based on a Real-I’s personal inputs and Cyber-I model; a dynamic awareness mechanism of the Real-I’s real privacy concerns in using different applications; and a semi-automatic adaptation mechanism of the Real-I’s personal data access policy, and control based on the dynamic awareness. The Cyber-I privacy model as a subset model of Cyber-I is the key to this research, and the significant advantages of this approach is twofold: able to adapt to a Real-I’s changing preferences for different applications; and able to continuously approximating a Real-I’s generic privacy preferences along lifetime. Finally, Runhe Huang will address some challenging issues and seek for some potential collaborations regarding further R&D on Cyber-I.
