A personal data control mechanism for digital society

Huge amount of digital information is collected and utilized in the digital society through Internet shopping, IC card, IC tag, etc. It is also used for customer relationship management (CRM).

Furthermore they are not allowed to control the collection and circulation of such information to the corporations they do not trust. In this paper, we propose a personal data control mechanism in order to overcome such limitations and to develop better relationship between consumers and corporations.
