Life-Logging Application Risks
The European Network and Information Security Agency(ENISA) has published a report on the risks and benefits of emerging life-logging applications.
The report examines the benefits of life-logging and information security risks for individuals, industry and state/government. The analysis assesses the risks and provides recommendations for each group.
Perhaps of most interest here are the recommendations for life-logging industry and service providers, summarised on pages 9-10 of the report, including privacy-friendly defaults, using privacy impact assessments and risk management approaches, direct online access for data access/audit, advice for individuals on the risks, distributed storage, workplace issues, encryption on user devices and multi-factor authentication.
The report is based around a life-logging scenario (Appendix I) which is used to highlight the issues and impacts on various parties. If you provide services in this area, or are considering anything closely related to this space, I think you will find the risk analysis (and risk assessment spreadsheet in Appendix II) a good starting point for your own efforts.
