TLDR
Anonymity, unlinkability, linkability, undetectability, unobservability, pseudonymity, identifiability, identity, partial identity, digital identity and identity management are defined.Abstract:
Based on the nomenclature of the early papers in the field privacy by data minimization, we develop a terminology which is both expressive and precise More particularly, we define anonymity, unlinkability, linkability, undetectability, unobservability, pseudonymity (pseudonyms and digital pseudonyms, and their attributes), identifiability, identity, partial identity, digital identity and identity management In addition, we describe the relationships between these terms, give a rationale why we define them as we do, and sketch the main mechanisms to provide for the properties definedread more

Smart Grid Privacy via Anonymization of Smart Metering Data
TL;DR: The method described in this paper provides a 3rd party escrow mechanism for authenticated anonymous meter readings which are difficult to associate with a particular smart meter or customer.

A survey on Advanced Metering Infrastructure
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive study on Smart Grid and the role of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in SG, which is not a single technology; rather it is a combination of different areas of engineering, communication and management.

Privacy for Smart Meters: Towards Undetectable Appliance Load Signatures
TL;DR: It is suggested that home electrical power routing can be used to moderate the home's load signature in order to hide appliance usage information and set the ground for further research on the subject of optimising home energy management with regards to hiding load signatures.

A privacy threat analysis framework: supporting the elicitation and fulfillment of privacy requirements
TL;DR: This paper presents a comprehensive framework to model privacy threats in software-based systems and provides an extensive catalog of privacy-specific threat tree patterns that can be used to detail the threat analysis outlined above.

Pseudonym Schemes in Vehicular Networks: A Survey
TL;DR: This survey covers pseudonym schemes based on public key and identity-based cryptography, group signatures and symmetric authentication, and compares the different approaches, gives an overview of the current state of standardization, and identifies open research challenges.

Untraceable electronic mail, return addresses, and digital pseudonyms
TL;DR: A technique based on public key cryptography is presented that allows an electronic mail system to hide who a participant communicates with as well as the content of the communication - in spite of an unsecured underlying telecommunication system.
