Privacy Computing: Theory and Technology

Communication, network, and computing technology have enabled the intelligent interconnection of all things and ubiquitous sharing of information, but difficulties in the prevention of private information abuse and lack of protection methods have become global problems. Privacy computing is a new field of research that aims to protect personal information in a ubiquitously interconnected environment. This book provides an original and innovative scientific research achievement dedicated to privacy computing research, explaining the basic theory and technology involved, and proposing the concept, definition, and research scope of privacy computing. It also introduces readers to the connection between personal information and privacy protection, defines privacy protection and privacy desensitization, clarifies and summarizes the limitations of existing privacy-preserving technologies in practical information system applications, analyzes the necessity of conducting privacy computing research, and proposes the concept, definition, and research scope of privacy computing. It also outlines future research directions.

Communication technology, network technology, and computing technology have undergone significant advancements, leading to the intelligent interconnection of all things and the ubiquitous sharing of information. However, the cross-border, cross-system, and cross-ecosystem exchange of user data has become commonplace, and difficulties in the prevention of private information abuse and lack of protection methods have become global problems. To address these challenges, there is an urgent need to intensify basic theoretical research in this field to support the protection of personal information in a ubiquitously interconnected environment. The authors of this book, who proposed the concept, definition, and research scope of privacy computing for the first time in 2015, have made a significant original and innovative scientific research achievement dedicated to privacy computing research. This book systematically explains the basic theory and technology involved, introducing readers to the connection between personal information and privacy protection, defining privacy protection and privacy desensitization, clarifying and summarizing the limitations of existing privacy-preserving technologies in practical information system applications, analyzing the necessity of conducting privacy computing research, and proposing the concept, definition, and research scope of privacy computing. It comprehensively expounds the theoretical system of privacy computing and some privacy-preserving algorithms based on the idea of privacy computing. In closing, it outlines future research directions.
