Abstract

This paper uses an ECA based policy implementation engine to enforce simple EPAL based enterprise-wide privacy policies. This architecture supports simplified EPAL policies and enforcement requirements of a system that can autonomically manage data-privacy based on pre-specified EPAL policies. The policies are defined through a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and this paper discusses the main features of our proposed GUI. The objective of such an approach is to facilitate privacy administrators, with low IT skills, by setting privacy policies for managing the system.
