Privacy by Design in Mobile Devices
Abstract
Mobile devices are widely used nowadays with two market leaders: iOS and Android. The privacy becomes an essential issue with the increasing number of sharing services and the amount of data collected and stored by mobile devices. Users want to benefit from those services but also to preserve their privacy. The Privacy by Design concept has been developed to make privacy respecting systems be integrated into mobiles systems. The Privacy by Design is supported by the European Union and the notion is considered to be enforces in future Data Protection Directive. In this article, we propose to classify privacy violation possibilities into three groups and investigate the current privacy state of mobile systems regarding mobile operating systems and mobile applications. Finally, we present some patterns that help developers of mobile applications to adopt Privacy by Design concept.
