Evaluación de prácticas de privacidad en aplicaciones móviles : desarrollo de un prototipo de interfaz gráfica para el despliegue de experimentos de evaluación automática de aspectos de privacidad en aplicaciones móviles.

Abstract

This work presents the development of a prototype application that supports the deployment of privacy requirements evaluation experiments in mobile applications.

For this purpose, in Chapter 1, we present a brief description of the theoretical framework required in this work. It includes a brief explanation of the concepts related to privacy and personal data protection in the context of mobile applications. In addition, the CLIIP platform, which has been developed in a previous research project, is briefly explained. This platform consists of a set of microservices deployed in Docker containers for assessing privacy requirements. Finally, this chapter presents the technologies and programming languages used for developing the aforementioned prototype.

Chapter 2 presents the process followed for developing the prototype. Based on the software engineering process, firstly, we performed the analysis of functional and non-functional requirements by using user stories and use cases. Subsequently, the prototype design is performed, which includes the definition of its architecture, data model through a relational diagram, processes through activity diagrams, and graphical user interfaces through mockups.

Then, the most relevant details of the prototype implementation are provided. Based on the best practices proposed in SCRUM, the implementation was divided into a set of sprints. For the Frontend, we used the typescript programming language and the React library. The Backend was also implemented with the typescript language. Furthermore, GraphQL was used with the Apollo server and the ORM Prisma for the interaction with the data model. Finally, validation and verification tests were used to prove that the initially defined requirements are met.

Finally, Chapter 3 shows the conclusions obtained and recommendations that provide experience for future related work.
