Deliverable D6.3: “Implementation of browser add-on for content detection and protection”

Following the work done in Tasks T6.2 and T6.3 that has been described in D6.2, D6.3 is the outcome of the task T6.4 – “Design and implementation of browser add-on that informs users about sensitive content and enables them to protect it”. The objective of this task is the development of the browser add-on that detects sensitive content) and enables the user to protect in a user-friendly way. The functionalities of the add-on will be: a) identify user images or messages or newsfeed posts that may be inappropriate for uploading to an OSN without the proper access restrictions; b) warn the user or his parents about the risks of uploading that sensitive content; c) provide usable controls that enables users or their parents to protect such content either by simply defining restrictive OSN privacy settings, or by using steganography and encryption.

The main point of this deliverable is to demonstrate how the browser add-on implementation works and present the background processing. Links to the videos that demonstrate each component are available in this deliverable.

It is shown that the developed technologies have the desired results on the areas of watermarking and steganography, nudity detection and Attribute-based encryption. Technical details of the various modules are described.

Following a seamless integration the modules described in this deliverable are running on the ENCASE proxy and their results are presented to the user through notifications in the browser add-on.
