Abstract
In general, designing reasonable metrics for privacy quantification is an approach of several disciplines. This section focuses on technical and formal metrics. They can be distinguished depending on purposes or use-cases, available data, and the way results can be interpreted.
The purpose of a privacy metric for protocols or communication systems is to measure the degree of privacy which it can provide to its users. A purpose of a privacy metric for an individual user is to inform her about the privacy she may actually expect with respect to her situation, that is, for instance, her previous actions.
