With the increasing popularity of mobile applications across all platforms, webinos takes advantage of this by providing a single platform for applications to be run within regardless of underlying operating system. It is based on web technologies and provides interoperability within multi-device systems. This paper examines the privacy threats as a result of this extra functionality, looking at likely attacks from different attack personas, examining existing threats to single device systems then seeing their application to multi-device systems, as well as developing new threats. Then ways of mitigating these threats using data provenance are demonstrated by using the tool LocationTracer.
