A Review of Privacy Essentials for Confidential Mobile Data Transactions

The increasingly rapid use of mobile devices for da ta transaction around the world has consequently le d to a new problem, and that is, how to engage in mobile d ata transactions while maintaining an acceptable le vel of data privacy and security. While most mobile devices engage in d ata transactions through a data cloud or a set of d ata servers, it is still possible to apply data confidentiality across data servers, and, as such, preserving privacy in any mo bile data transaction. Yet still, it is essential that a review of data privacy, data utility, the techniques, and methodolog ies employed in the data privacy process, is done, as the underlying data pr ivacy principles remain the same. In this paper, as a contribution, we present a review of data privacy essentials that ar e fundamental in delivering any appropriate analysi s and specific methodology implementation for various data privacy needs in mobile data transactions and computation.
