摘要:
An approach is provided for preserving privacy for appointment scheduling. A scheduling platform receives a request to schedule an appointment among one or more users. The scheduling platform determines availability information for the one or more users from one or more respective devices, wherein the availability information is encrypted using homomorphic encryption. The scheduling platform then processes and/or facilitates a processing of the availability information using, at least in part, one or more homomorphic functions to determine one or more recommended time slots for the appointment.

摘要:
An approach is provided for protecting a user identity in communication based on privacy information. The privacy engine selects one or more parameters associated with a privacy metric. Next, the privacy engine determines the parameters in a communication environment, the communication environment including a user device and a plurality of other devices. Next, the privacy engine computes a privacy level based, at least in part, on the parameters and the privacy metric. Next, the privacy engine compares the computed privacy level against a predetermined privacy level. Then, the privacy engine triggers a communication to one or more of the other devices in the communication environment based, at least in part, on the comparison.
