• Title: The Impact of Privacy and Security Attitudes and Concerns of Travellers on Their Willingness to Use Mobility-as-a-Service Systems
• Authors: Maria Sophia Heering, Haiyue Yuan, Shujun Li
• Abstract summary: This paper reports results from an online survey on the impact of travellers' privacy and security attitudes and concerns on their willingness to use MaaS systems. Neither attitudes nor concerns of participants over the privacy and security of personal data would significantly impact their decisions to use MaaS systems. Having been a victim of improper invasion of privacy did not appear to affect individuals' intentions to use MaaS systems.

• Abstract: This paper reports results from an online survey on the impact of travellers' privacy and security attitudes and concerns on their willingness to use mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) systems. This study is part of a larger project that aims at investigating barriers to potential MaaS uptake. The online survey was designed to cover data privacy and security attitudes and concerns as well as a variety of socio-psychological and socio-demographic variables associated with travellers' intentions to use MaaS systems. The study involved $n=320$ UK participants recruited via the Prolific survey platform. Overall, correlation analysis and a multiple regression model indicated that, neither attitudes nor concerns of participants over the privacy and security of personal data would significantly impact their decisions to use MaaS systems, which was an unexpected result, however, their trust in (commercial and governmental) websites would. Another surprising result is that, having been a victim of improper invasion of privacy did not appear to affect individuals' intentions to use MaaS systems, whereas frequency with which one heard about misuse of personal data did. Implications of the results and future directions are also discussed, e.g., MaaS providers are encouraged to work on improving the trustworthiness of their corporate image.

  Security measures such as anonymization are needed to protect individuals' privacy. Within our study, we conducted expert interviews to gain insights into practices in the field. We survey privacy-enhancing methods in use, which generally do not comply with state-of-the-art standards of differential privacy.

  Mobility data can be used to build machine learning (ML) models for location-based services (LBS) However, the convenience comes with the risk of privacy leakage since this type of data might contain sensitive information related to user identities, such as home/work locations. We design a privacy attack suite containing data extraction and membership inference attacks tailored for point-of-interest (POI) recommendation models.

Users' demographic background, such as their country of residence, age, ethnicity, and education, has a significant moderating effect.

  We propose a Cross-network Social User Embedding framework, namely DP-CroSUE, to learn the comprehensive representations of users in a privacy-preserving way. In particular, for each heterogeneous social network, we first introduce a hybrid differential privacy notion to capture the variation of privacy expectations for heterogeneous data types. To further enhance user embeddings, a novel cross-network GCN embedding model is designed to transfer knowledge across networks through those aligned users.

  Leakage of data from publicly available Machine Learning (ML) models is an area of growing significance. We focus on inference-time leakage, as the most likely scenario for publicly available models. We propose a taxonomy across involuntary and malevolent leakage, available defences, followed by the currently available assessment metrics and applications.

  People are more concerned about third parties accessing data gathered by environmental sensors as compared to physiological sensors. Participants indicated greater concern about unfamiliar third parties as opposed to familiar third parties. These concerns are predicted and (to a lesser degree) causally affected by people's beliefs about how much can be inferred from these types of data.
