Abstract

Targeted Mobile Advertising (TMA) has emerged as a significant driver of the Internet economy. TMA gives rise to interesting challenges: there is a need to balance privacy and utility; there is a need to guarantee that applications’ access to resources is appropriate; and there is a need to ensure that the targeting of ads is effective. As many authors have argued, formal models are ideal vehicles for reasoning about privacy, as well as for reasoning about the relationship between privacy and utility. To this end, we describe how the formal notation Z has been used to develop formal models to underpin a prototype privacypreserving TMA system. We give consideration to how formal models can help in underpinning the prototype system, in analysing privacy in the context of targeted mobile advertising, and in allowing users to specify control of their personal information.
