Dear all, This the first time I send something in this list, so I ask you beforehand to excuse me if this mail is out of scope.
I was reading draft-iab-privacy-considerations-03.txt and I found it very interesting. However I have the feeling that Section 5 does not take into account the advances of the “private data analysis” research field. To my understanding research efforts in this field argue that data minimization and anonymization are not always enough, bringing as an example the incidence of the AOL anonymized logs. What is proposed, in order to protect users' privacy, is to lower the “data utility” by adding “noise”. IMHO a useful guideline for protocol designers would have been to encourage them to design protocols that can tolerate a level of noise (obscurity if you will) in the data provided by the users.
