ISSUE-4: confidentiality of life cycle event data

confidentiality of life cycle event data

State:
CLOSED
Product:
MMI Architecture
Raised by:

Description:
From the minutes of Sept 11, 2006 meeting
(http://www.w3.org/2006/09/11-multimodal-minutes.html) we had concerns about how
one could signal that some information should remain confidential.

The issue is say that a data event (or any event) could contain something like a
persons password, account number, social security number, or what not and that
an interaction manager might naively (but usefully in many other contexts) do
something like log the lifecycle events and their contents to some sort of
tracking log for later validation. The question became should there be an
attribute on the event data or some other way to tell if the data is
confidential and shouldn\'t be logged implicitly.

This issue also covers the logging of the existence of the event or what the
event name is, but in general data is clearly the most problematic example of
the issue.

Related notes:

For next draft, if we haven\'t resolved this issue we\'ll put in green text saying
we are considering it.

We\'re leaning toward adding a boolean field, \"Confidential\" to events. We need
to decide what \"Confidential\" means. For example, does it mean that you can\'t
log the whole event, or you can\'t log just the data? Also there might be
something we could leverage from P3P (Platform for Privacy Preferences). Is
confidentiality more than just logging?

Also the use of the DCI might involve considerations of privacy.

This is also related to action-119 (http://www.w3.org/2002/mmi/Group/track/actions/119), which was to create a more generic version of this.
