Abstract:
1. A method of selecting and sharing personal user information associated with a user equipment, the method performed by the user equipment and comprising the steps of: establishing communication with a responding user equipment; selecting a subset of the personal user information, based on a history record that identifies an amount of personal user information stored in the user equipment that was previously transmitted to the responding user equipment; generating a temporary or random identifier of the user equipment, wherein the temporary or random identifier conceals an actual identity of the user equipment; presenting on the user equipment the subset of the personal user information; receiving a user input indicating a user's selection of parts of the subset of the personal user information to be transmitted to the responding user equipment; and transmitting the parts of the subset of the personal user information and the temporary or random identifier of the user equipment to the responding user equipment, wherein the transmitted temporary or random identifier is associated with the transmitted parts of the subset of personal user information, wherein the selecting of the subset of the personal user information comprises randomly selecting at least a part of the subset as a function of a type-classification of the personal user information to provide privacy based on a cryptographically secure function, wherein the cryptographically secure function is applied to the subset of the personal user information to randomly select at least the part of the subset of personal user information, and wherein the type-classification indicates a category to which the personal user information belongs.
