Abstract

Thanks to the spread of mobile technologies, we will be able to realize the ubiquitous computing environment, in which equipment connected to the Internet assists users in their activities without special care on their part. Then, a function to protect private information is needed. This paper proposes a model for protecting private information. The basic idea of our model is to make use of private information through a program which a user trusts. A user offers a trusted program to a partner and compels a partner to make use of his private information through this program. In this way, a user prevents illegal use of his private information.
