Formal Privacy

Privacy has social, legal, commercial, and technological dimensions, where each dimension deeply influences the others. Worldwide, citizens have in many cases asked their governments to provide them with basic privacy assurances for their interactions with businesses. Such regulations can be complicated and impede businesses from effective operation. This project focused on the formal description and analysis of privacy regulations with an aim to understand their consequences and contribute to efforts to build compliant information systems.
