Abstract

This paper gives a high level protocol description of a scheme IPADECS (Internet Privacy-oriented Audience Degree Estimation Coupon System) to estimate the distribution of attributes of users who read a web page. The scheme is intended to minimize the violation of users' privacy by adopting some cryptographic techniques. A brief history of development and major properties of IPADECS are also described.
