| Problem description: | Edward Snowden was asked at SXSW 2014: "What steps do you suggest the average person take now to ensure a more secure digital experience? Is there anything we can do on individual level to confront the issues of mass surveillance that we are talking about today." To this Snowden mentioned several tools, including TOR, for making peoples online presence somewhat more secure. And Ben Wizner threw in: "You know, when there is a question about average users and the answer is TOR we have failed."
My master sets out to look at how Average Joe can avoid the digital mass surveillance that is going on without having to go off the grid. The synergy of combining data in the cloud produces such desirable products that citizens are embracing them at the cost of their privacy. E.g. facial recognition which can automatically tag all your photos. The same technology can also be used to track your every move around the globe. While a solution is to refrain from adopting technologies that can be used for tracking, is abstaining from the use of social media, search engines and cell phones not a desirable solution for neither end-users nor companies. The idea of unhosted services is a popular idea lately. It means that data is stored with the user instead of with the provider. But many questions with this paradigm needs to be answered. |

Comments
Red line
Your thesis should have a "red line", which is visible throughout the whole thesis. This means you should mention in the beginning of each chapter how the chapter contributes to the "goals of the thesis".
Use of scientific methods
A thesis follows a standard method:
- describe the problem (problemstilling)
- extract the challenges. These challenges should be measurable, e.g. method is too slow to be useful to voice handover.
- Analyse technology with respect to challenges. Don't write & repeat "everything" from a certain technology, concentrate on those parts (e.g. protocols) which are of importance for your problem
References
- Wikipedia is good to use to get an overview on what is happening. But there is not scientific verification of Wikipedia, thus you should use wikipedia only in the introduction of a chapter (if you use text from wikipedia). Use scientific literature for your thesis.
- Scientific library is "at your hand", you can get there directly from UiO: [[How to get access to IEEE, Springer and other scientific literature -> Unik/UiOLibrary]]
- I suggest that references to web pages, e.g. OASIS, W3C standards, are given in a footnote. Only if you find white papers or other .pdf documents on a web page then you refer to them in the reference section.
Evaluation of own work
Perform an evaluation of your own work. Revisit the challenges and discuss in how you fulfilled them. Provide alternative solution and discuss what should be done (or what could have been done).
