PORTIA: Privacy, Obligations, and Rights in Technologies of Information Assessment

Increasing use of computers and networks in business, government, recreation, and almost all aspects of daily life has led to a proliferation of online sensitive data, i.e., data that, if used improperly, can harm the data subjects. As a result, concern about the ownership, control, privacy, and accuracy of these data has become a top priority. This project focuses on both the technical challenges of handling sensitive data and the policy and legal issues facing data subjects, data owners, and data users.

PORTIA is a collaborative project involving participants from Stevens, Yale, Stanford, NYU, and University of New Mexico, as well as research partners from industry and other organizations. See the main PORTIA project web page for detailed information, including project participants, publications, and sponsored events.

PORTIA is funded by the National Science Foundation, through its Information Technology Research program.
