Stakeholder Roles. We consider the following user profiles are recommended for the Miraculous-Life system: Table 10: User types User type Description Regular user Individual users that have been authenticated by the system System administrator System administrators with modification permissions, for instance to erase a particular user profile when a user requests to do so. It is necessary to classify different types of information in categories to protect user’s privacy. These categories are based in the degree of confidentiality of information. The following table summarizes the needed categories, showing the categories with the highest confidentiality level on top: Table 11: Data categories Data category Content Accessible by Confidential Passwords and encrypted information Individual users Private Personal information such as user name and personal data (introduced at register process) Individual users and system administrators Shared Info that can be shared among users Individual users and system administrators that have access permission. Public Anonymous information that may be used for statistical analysis It can be accessed by all users of the system Considering these categories, all the information in the database must be classified to make them fall in one of them and treat them accordingly. For each of the categories there will be a different level of security required: • Confidential data will always be encrypted and only accessible to individual users to whom the information belongs. • Private information needs not to be encrypted but it will only be visible to individual authenticated users or to systems admins who want to delete personal information associated to a user who wants to do so. In this way, shared and public information from the user could be preserved without compromising his confidentiality, as this info will no longer be associated to a particular user. • Shared information does not need either to be encrypted and it will be visible to authenticated users of the system with whom the information has been shared. • Public information will be available to all users and it may be used for data analysis and exploitation of the information. Information will be stored only in local servers, protected from external access by running a firewall.
