社会人口模式如何定义数字隐私鸿沟?

How Do Socio-Demographic Patterns Define Digital Privacy Divide?

Hamoud Alhazmi, Ahmed Imran, Mohammad Abu Alsheikh

摘要:

数字隐私已成为信息和通信技术系统的一个重要组成部分。存在许多用于数字隐私保护的现有方法,包括网络安全、密码学和访问控制。然而,在可供用户使用的数字隐私保护水平上仍存在差距。本文研究了ICT系统中的数字隐私鸿沟问题。首先,我们介绍了一个在线DPD的研究,了解DPD的问题,收集776 ICT用户使用众包任务分配的响应。其次,我们提出了一种基于因素分析的统计方法,用于从一组可观察的DPD问题变量生成DPD指数。特别是,DPD指数通过探索DPD调查中八个问题的维度,为DPD差距提供了一个衡量尺度。第三,我们引入了DPD比例优势模型来分析DPD状态和用户的社会人口统计模式之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明,DPD调查符合严格的统计措施的内部一致性可靠性,例如,克朗巴赫氏$α=0.92$。此外,DPD指数捕获所有DPD变量的基本共性。最后,DPD比例优势模型表明,DPD状态和ICT用户的年龄组之间有很强的统计相关性。例如,我们发现年轻用户(15-32岁)通常比老年用户(33岁及以上)更关心他们的数字隐私。

英文摘要:

Digital privacy has become an essential component of information and communications technology (ICT) systems. There are many existing methods for digital privacy protection, including network security, cryptography, and access control. However, there is still a gap in the digital privacy protection levels available for users. This paper studies the digital privacy divide (DPD) problem in ICT systems. First, we introduce an online DPD study for understanding the DPD problem by collecting responses from 776 ICT users using crowdsourcing task assignments. Second, we propose a factor analysis-based statistical method for generating the DPD index from a set of observable DPD question variables. In particular, the DPD index provides one scaled measure for the DPD gap by exploring the dimensionality of the eight questions in the DPD survey. Third, we introduce a DPD proportional odds model for analyzing the relationship between the DPD status and the socio-demographic patterns of the users. Our results show that the DPD survey meets the internal consistency reliability with rigorous statistical measures, e.g., Cronbach's $α=0.92$. Furthermore, the DPD index is shown to capture the underlying communality of all DPD variables. Finally, the DPD proportional odds model indicates a strong statistical correlation between the DPD status and the age groups of the ICT users. For example, we find that young users (15-32 years) are generally more concerned about their digital privacy than senior ones (33 years and over).
