Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a policy acquisition unit configured to acquire a policy on disclosure of information on a target user; a collection unit configured to collect attributes that may be related to the target user from public information disclosed on a network to create an attribute set related to the target user; and a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the attribute set satisfies the policy.

acquiring a policy on disclosure of information on a target user;

collecting attributes that may be related to the target user from public information disclosed on a network to create an attribute set related to the target user; and

determining whether or not the attribute set satisfies the policy.
