It has arisen from regulations as a data protection principle, and it is now being studied to encompass the peculiarities of digital information. Transparency, however, is not the first security concept to be borrowed from regulations; privacy once emerged from discussions on individual\u2019s rights.<\/p><p>Privacy began to be vigorously debated in 1890, when Warren and Brandeis analysed legal cases for which penalties were applied on the basis of defamation, infringement of copyrights, and violation of confidence. The authors defended that those cases were, in fact, built upon a broader principle called privacy. But privacy was only given a structured definition almost one century later, in 1960, when Prosser examined cases produced after Warren and Brandeis\u2019 work, classifying the violation of privacy into four different torts; it took twenty years more before the concept was thoroughly studied for its functions in ICT. Guidelines by the OECD outlined principles to support the discussion of privacy as a technical requirement. Proceeded by international standards for a privacy framework (ISO\/IEC 29100), translating the former legal concepts into information security terms, such as data minimisation, accuracy, and accountability.<\/p><p>Transparency has a younger, but comparable history; the current General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) defines it as a principle which requires \u201cthat any information and communication relating to the processing of those personal data be easily accessible and easy to understand [..]\u00a0\u00bb. However, other related and more abstract concepts preceded it. In the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996, the Privacy Rule demands to document privacy policies and procedures and to notify individuals of uses of their health information. Former European Directives, i.e., 95\/46\/EC and 2011\/24\/EU, establish \u201cthe right for individuals to have access to their personal data concerning their health [..] also in the context of cross-border healthcare\u201d. The same did the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) of 1966, instituting that any person has a right to obtain from agencies information regarding their records. These and other similar requests refer to the transversal quality called transparency.<\/p><p>Similarly to what happened with privacy, transparency was also the subject of guidelines that clarify its interpretation in ICT. However, no framework or standard has been defined yet that translates transparency into a technical property. This translation is the goal of our work.<\/p><p>This research project is dedicated to debate existing interpretations for transparency, to establish requirements and measurement procedures for it, and to study solutions that can help systems adhere to transparency principle from a technical perspective. Our work constitutes an initial step towards the definition of a framework that helps accomplish meaningful transparency in the context of Electronic Medical Systems.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Members of the defense committee:Prof. Dr. Paulo Verissimo, Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg, chairmanDr. Gabriele Lenzini, Universit\u00e9 du Luxembourg, vice-chairmanProf. Dr. Peter Y.A.
