On the runtime enforcement of evolving privacy policies in online social networks

Abstract

Online Social Networks have increased the need to understand well and extend the expressiveness of privacy policies. In particular, the need to be able to define and enforce dynamic (and recurrent)

policies that are activated or deactivated by context (events) or timeouts. We propose an automaton-based approach to define and enforce

such policies using runtime verification techniques. In this paper we discuss how our proposed solution addresses this problem without focussing

on concrete technical details.
