PPMLP: A Special Modeling Language Processor for Privacy Policies

In today's age of information technology, there is an increasing concern for the privacy of an individual's records stored on computers. The Internet and security vulnerabilities provide an opportunity for hackers to misuse information. The level of an individual's trust for an organization can be ensured or influenced by the organization's privacy policy. Privacy has become a concern only recently and hence, creating well documented and comprehensive organizational privacy policies still remains a challenge. The paper presents results on a special privacy policy modeling language processor (PPMLP) based on service oriented architecture (SOA) for an organization to model the structure and contents of private policy they want through a meta type of privacy policy specifications.
