From Social Networks and Web Mash-ups towards Mixed Reality
Abstract:
As social networking sites are being widely adopted and used, by people of all market segments, the amount of information shared there is constantly growing. We first present different privacy practices and policies in online social networks, with some example stories of things that turned bad, when personal information was not used as originally intended. Further more, as mash-ups allow information to flow among different services and sites, in a loosely coupled manner, we will analyse the typically associated security and privacy threads, along with state-of-the-art solutions. Finally, as the Internet is moving outside the standard personal computers and mobile devices, basic elements will be presented about the next generation Internet services, where the real and the digital world fuse, towards mixed reality.
