Abstract
In this chapter we describe one of the pilots of the ABC4Trust project that we developed in order to offer privacy-preserving course evaluations at universities. The distinctive feature of this application is that the pilot system can authenticate students, with respect to their eligibility to evaluate a course, without requiring from them any identifying information. Thus, it is impossible for the system to link participants with their evaluations and, therefore, participants’ privacy is protected while the system is certain to receive evaluations only from eligible participants. In this chapter we describe the pilot context, the high level architecture of the pilot system as well as a questionnaire-based evaluation process for user acceptance. Along with a usability evaluation of the pilot prototype, we considered possible user acceptance factors for Privacy-ABCs and developed a novel model of user acceptance in a privacy critical setting.
