Abstract:
In an era dominated by digital interactions, the protection of personal data has become a critical concern. The “Privacy-Aware Personal Data Storage ( ppds )” project aims to address this concern by developing a Java-based solution that empowers users to safeguard their sensitive information from external applications. The proposed system focuses on enhancing user control over their data, ensuring privacy is not compromised in the age of ubiquitous applications.
Existing System:
The current digital landscape lacks comprehensive mechanisms to protect user data from external applications. Users often face challenges in controlling how their data is accessed and utilized, leading to potential privacy breaches.
Proposed System:
The P-PDS project proposes a robust solution that provides users with granular control over their personal data. The system emphasizes user education, enabling them to understand and manage permissions for external applications accessing their data. Through encryption, access controls, and user-friendly interfaces, P-PDS empowers users to make informed decisions about data sharing.
System Requirements:
Hardware Requirements:
- Standard PC or laptop
- Internet connectivity for cloud-based storage
Software Requirements:
- Java Development Kit (JDK)
- Database management system (e.g., MySQL)
- Web server (e.g., Apache Tomcat)
- Encryption libraries (e.g., Bouncy Castle)
Architecture:
The system adopts a client-server architecture, with the client serving as the user interface and the server managing data storage and access controls. Encryption layers ensure secure communication between the client and server, and a database is employed for efficient data management.
Technologies Used:
- Java: The core programming language for application development.
- Spring Framework: Facilitates the development of robust and scalable Java applications.
- Hibernate: Manages the persistence layer, ensuring efficient data storage and retrieval.
- Bouncy Castle: Provides cryptographic services for data encryption.
- HTML/CSS/JavaScript: For building an intuitive and responsive web user interface.
Web User Interface:
We designed the user interface to be user-friendly, providing intuitive controls for managing data permissions. Users can visualize and control access to their personal data through a secure dashboard. The interface educates users on the importance of privacy and guides them in making informed decisions about data sharing.
In conclusion, the Privacy-Aware Personal Data Storage (P-PDS) project offers an innovative approach to protecting user privacy in the digital age. By combining education, encryption, and user-friendly interfaces, P-PDS empowers users to take control of their personal data and mitigate privacy risks associated with external applications.
