Abstract
We propose a web notary system to support privacy keeping E-Commerce over the Internet. A web notary system can be seen as a trusted third-party enhanced with value-added services. With a web notary system, customers can provide privacy protected information and requests to the system instead to various online shops. The system can then search its information repository in an intelligent way on behalf of the customers and provide personalized services. In this paper, we develop a novel privacy control model based on hierarchy of privacy groups. We also design a method for efficient customer-provider matchmaking. A prototype system has been developed to demonstrate our proposals.
