%0 Journal Article %T Leveraging the Involvement of Data Subjects towards Controlling Their Own Personal Information %A Abdulrahman H. Altalhi %A Zailani Mohamed Sidek %A Norjihan Abdul Ghani %J Research Journal of Information Technology %D 2011 %I %X Privacy has become an important component in systems that handle personal information. Data subjects have a right to control their own personal information. Hippocratic Databases represent a new era of database technology that has been proposed to fulfill personal information privacy protection requirements at the database level. However, the concept of ˇ°purposeˇ± is introduced because the owner of the information has no control over his/her own personal information. The owner, also referred to as the data subject, not only needs to control to whom his/her information should be disclosed but should also be able to access his/her own personal information regardless of the purpose. For this reason, we concluded that there are two requirements when managing personal information: The owner should be able to control his/her own personal information and should be able to access it at any time and for any purpose. This Study introduces a new architecture that fulfills the above requirements, which we refer to as the owner-controlled architecture for Hippocratic Databases. First, we highlight the importance of controlling personal information in an information flow model, and then we explain the architecture that supports the proposed model. %K Data access %K Hippocratic databases %K owner-controlled %K personal information %U http://www.maxwellsci.com/jp/abstract.php?jid=RJIT&no=166&abs=01
