A Conceptualization of Accountability as a Privacy Principle

摘要

While accountability is increasingly discussed as a privacy principle, it is far from clear how to achieve privacy protection through accountability. Moreover, it is even unclear how to define accountability in this context. This paper provides a conceptualization of accountability for the context of privacy protection based upon a review of the literature. The presented literature review aims at identifying a minimal core of accountability for the context of privacy protection to provide a foundation for requirements analysis for accountability-centric privacy protection mechanisms.
