Build trust with your library's users by securing their data privacy. Taking a holistic approach, this guide presents practical ways to implement privacy ethics into data practices. Libraries are not exempt from the financial costs of data breaches or leaks, no matter the size. Whether from a library worker unwittingly sharing a patron's address with a perpetrator of domestic violence to leaving sensitive patron data unprotected, patrons can also pay a hefty price when libraries fail to manage patron data securely and ethically. In this guide, readers will learn concrete action steps for putting the ethical management of data into practice, following two common public and academic library cumulative case studies. The authors explore such key topics as succinct summaries of major U.S. laws and other regulations and standards governing patron data management; information security practices to protect patrons and libraries from common threats; how to navigate barriers in organizational culture when implementing data privacy measures; sources for publicly available, customizable privacy training material for library workers; the data life cycle from planning and collecting to disposal; how to conduct a data inventory; understanding the associated privacy risks of different types of library data; why the current popular model of library assessment can become a huge privacy invasion; addressing key topics while keeping your privacy policy clear and understandable to patrons; and data privacy and security provisions to look for in vendor contracts.

Stefan Brands proposes cryptographic building blocks for the design of digital certificates that preserve privacy without sacrificing security. As paper-based communication and transaction mechanisms are replaced by automated ones, traditional forms of security such as photographs and handwritten signatures are becoming outdated. Most security experts believe that digital certificates offer the best technology for safeguarding electronic communications. They are already widely used for authenticating and encrypting email and software, and eventually will be built into any device or piece of software that must be able to communicate securely. There is a serious problem, however, with this unavoidable trend: unless drastic measures are taken, everyone will be forced to communicate via what will be the most pervasive electronic surveillance tool ever built. There will also be abundant opportunity for misuse of digital certificates by hackers, unscrupulous employees, government agencies, financial institutions, insurance companies, and so on.In this book Stefan Brands proposes cryptographic building blocks for the design of digital certificates that preserve privacy without sacrificing security. Such certificates function in much the same way as cinema tickets or subway tokens: anyone can establish their validity and the data they specify, but no more than that. Furthermore, different actions by the same person cannot be linked. Certificate holders have control over what information is disclosed, and to whom. Subsets of the proposed cryptographic building blocks can be used in combination, allowing a cookbook approach to the design of public key infrastructures. Potential applications include electronic cash, electronic postage, digital rights management, pseudonyms for online chat rooms, health care information storage, electronic voting, and even electronic gambling.

Privacy is perhaps the most hallowed of American rights--and most people are concerned that new technologies available to governments and corporations threaten to erode this most privileged of rights. But in The Limits of Privacy, Amitai Etzioni offers a decidedly different point of view, in which the right to privacy is balanced against concern for public safety and health. Etzioni looks at five flashpoint issues: Megan's Laws, HIV testing of infants, deciphering of encrypted messages, national identification cards, and medical records, and concludes that there are times when Amricans' insistence on privacy is not in the best interests of society at large. He offers four clear and concise criteria which, when applied jointly, help us to determine when the right to privacy should be overridden for the greater public good.Almost every week headlines warn us that our cell phones are being monitored, our e-mails read, and our medical records traded on the open market. Public opinion polls show that Americans are dismayed about incursions against personal privacy. Congress and state legislatures are considering laws designed to address their concerns.Focusing on five flashpoint issues--Megan's Law, mandatory HIV testing of infants, encryption of electronic documents, national identification cards and biometric identifiers, and medical records--The Limits of Privacy argues counterintuitively that sometimes major public health and safety concerns should outweigh the individual's right to privacy. Presenting four concise criteria to determine when the right to privacy should be preserved and when it should be overridden in the interests of the wider community, Etzioni argues that, in somecases, we would do well to sacrifice the privacy of the individual in the name of the common good.

We are in the early years of a technological revolution arising from our understanding of the genetic meaning of life. Scientists' ability to manipulate and decode genes is advancing at an extraordinary pace - so fast we are often unprepared to handle the many vexing legal, economic, ethical and social issues they raise. The combination of genetic research and information technology raises often chilling questions of privacy and genetic discrimination. Should individuals be allowed personal property rights to their DNA, cells or tissues? How should policymakers regulate the biotechnology industry to maximize safety without stifling innovation? What are the appropriate uses of gene therapy and other genetic manipulations? In "Genetic Testing and the Use of Information", leading scholars grapple with issues of genetic privacy, the regulation of genetic testing and genetic discrimination. They consider such questions as: Who should have access to information derived from a genetic test? Should one be obligated to tell a spouse or a child test results? Should governments ever appropriately mandate individual genetic testing or community-wide genetic screening? Will employers be able to require the release of genetic records as a condition of employment? Will insurance companies be allowed to use genetic information to determine risk? At what point does a genetic condition qualify as a disability under the American with Disabilities Act?

This volume explains the technology behind digital signatures and key infrastructures (PKI). These are the standards that make it absolutely safe to buy, sell, sign documents and exchange sensitive financial data on the Internet.

Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung, die immer hoehere Verfugbarkeit des Internets in Echtzeit sowie die progressive Entwicklung der IT ermoeglichen es Unternehmen und Organisationen, Daten in einem nie zuvor dagewesenen Umfang zu erzeugen und zu verarbeiten, wodurch sie einen enormen Stellen- und Marktwert erhalten haben. Zudem kann mithilfe der kunstlichen Intelligenz (KI) das in den Daten enthaltene Wissen extrahiert werden. Oft handelt es sich dabei um gesammelte Daten von Personen, mit denen Vorhersagen uber verschiedene Aspekte der Personen getroffen werden koennen.Das Buch befasst sich mit der Anonymisierung im Kontext der KI und Big Data. Dazu werden die wesentlichen Grundlagen dargestellt sowie pseudonymisierte und anonymisierte Daten mit Personenbezug im Rahmen der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO) und des Bundesdatenschutzgesetzes (BDSG) beleuchtet. Es werden Moeglichkeiten zur Pseudonymisierung, zu den jeweiligen Techniken und Verfahren der Anonymisierung sowie entsprechende Risikobetrachtungen behandelt. Abschliessend wird die Vorgehensweise der Anonymisierung aus rechtlicher und technischer Sicht unter Anwendung entsprechender Software behandelt.

For more than three hundred years, the world wrestled with conflicts that arose between nation-states. Nation-states wielded military force, financial pressure, and diplomatic persuasion to create "world order." Even after the end of the Cold War, the elements comprising world order remained essentially unchanged. But 2012 marked a transformation in geopolitics and the tactics of both the established powers and smaller entities looking to challenge the international community. That year, the US government revealed its involvement in Operation "Olympic Games," a mission aimed at disrupting the Iranian nuclear program through cyberattacks; Russia and China conducted massive cyber-espionage operations; and the world split over the governance of the Internet. Cyberspace became a battlefield. Cyber conflict is hard to track, often delivered by proxies, and has outcomes that are hard to gauge. It demands that the rules of engagement be completely reworked and all the old niceties of diplomacy be recast. Many of the critical resources of statecraft are now in the hands of the private sector, giant technology companies in particular. In this new world order, cybersecurity expert Adam Segal reveals, power has been well and truly hacked.

Hierfur enthalt das Buch entsprechende "Fahrplane".

The subjects of this volume are more relevant than ever, especially in light of the raft of electoral scandals concerning voter profiling. This volume brings together papers that offer conceptual analyses, highlight issues, propose solutions, and discuss practices regarding privacy and data protection. It is one of the results of the twelfth annual International Conference on Computers, Privacy and Data Protection, CPDP, held in Brussels in January 2019. The book explores the following topics: dataset nutrition labels, lifelogging and privacy by design, data protection iconography, the substance and essence of the right to data protection, public registers and data protection, modelling and verification in data protection impact assessments, examination scripts and data protection law in Cameroon, the protection of children's digital rights in the GDPR, the concept of the scope of risk in the GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulation. This interdisciplinary book has been written at a time when the scale and impact of data processing on society - not only on individuals, but also on social systems - is becoming ever starker. It discusses open issues as well as daring and prospective approaches, and will serve as an insightful resource for readers with an interest in computers, privacy and data protection.

Privacy on the internet is challenged in a wide variety of ways - from large social media companies, whose entire business models are based on privacy invasion, through the developing technologies of facial recognition, to the desire of governments to monitor our every activity online. But the impact these issues have on our daily lives is often underplayed or misunderstood. In this book, Paul Bernal analyses how the internet became what it is today, exploring how the current manifestation of the internet works for people, for companies and even for governments, with reference to the new privacy battlefields of location and health data, the internet of things and the increasingly contentious issue of personal data and political manipulation. The author then proposes what we should do about the problems surrounding internet privacy, such as significant changes in government policy, a reversal of the current 'war' on encryption, being brave enough to take on the internet giants, and challenging the idea that 'real names' would improve the discourse on social networks. ABOUT THE SERIES: The 'What Do We Know and What Should We Do About...?' series offers readers short, up-to-date overviews of key issues often misrepresented, simplified or misunderstood in modern society and the media. Each book is written by a leading social scientist with an established reputation in the relevant subject area. The Series Editor is Professor Chris Grey, Royal Holloway, University of London

Der Datenschutz ist nicht ausreichend auf die Herausforderungen moderner Informationstechnik mit Ubiquitous Computing, Big Data, kunstlicher Intelligenz und lernenden Systemen eingestellt. Dies gilt auch fur die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung. Die Beitrage des Sammelbandes untersuchen die Anforderungen des digitalen Wandels an Konzepte, Instrumente und Institutionen des Datenschutzes; sie eroertern Loesungen fur bisher ungeregelte Datenschutzprobleme, entwerfen Konzepte fur einen modernen Grundrechts- und Datenschutz und entwickeln Modelle fur eine Evolution des Datenschutzes in der kunftigen digitalen Welt.

Dieses Lehrbuch behandelt im ersten Teil schwerpunktmassig technische Massnahmen, die den Schutz personenbezogener Daten sicherstellen. Dazu werden grundlegende Verfahren der Anonymisierung und der Gewahrleistung von Anonymitat im Internet (z. B. Tor) vorgestellt. Das Buch gibt einen UEberblick uber gangige Verfahren des Identitatsmanagements (z. B. OpenID Connect) und die in elektronischen Ausweisdokumenten (z. B. im Personalausweis) verwendeten Sicherheitsmassnahmen. Die Datenschutz-Garantien der vermittelten Ansatze werden im Detail behandelt. Im Bereich des World Wide Web erfahrt der Leser, wo die Probleme aus Sicht des Datenschutzes liegen und wie diese Lucken geschlossen werden koennen. Anonyme Bezahlverfahren und eine Untersuchung von Bitcoin runden den technischen Teil des Buches ab. Der Leser lernt Ansatze aus der Praxis kennen, um so je nach Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung das passende Verfahren auswahlen zu koennen. Im zweiten Teil werden die Grundlagen des Datenschutzrechts behandelt. Denn technische Massnahmen sollen unerlaubte Datenverarbeitung verhindern; das Recht bestimmt, welche Datenverarbeitungen erlaubt sind. Ohne Kenntnisse im Datenschutzrecht koennen technische Massnahmen nicht richtig implementiert werden. Zum besseren Verstandnis erfolgt ein UEberblick uber die Rechtsordnung insgesamt, in die das Datenschutzrecht eingeordnet wird. Betrachtet werden die europaische und die verfassungsrechtliche Dimension des Datenschutzes. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Regelungen der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung. Dabei werden auch besonders haufig vorkommende und Fragen aufwerfende Verarbeitungssituationen wie das Webtracking eroertert. Beispielhaft werden datenschutzrechtliche Falle bearbeitet.

Computers and computer networking provide major benefits to modern society, yet the growing costs of malicious cyber activities and cybersecurity itself diminish these benefits. Advances in cybersecurity are urgently needed to preserve the Internets growing social and economic benefits by thwarting adversaries and strengthening public trust of cyber systems. On December 18, 2014 the President signed into law the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014. This law requires the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) Program to develop and maintain a cybersecurity research and development (R&D) strategic plan (the Plan) using an assessment of risk to guide the overall direction of Federally-funded cybersecurity R&D. This plan satisfies that requirement and establishes the direction for the Federal R&D enterprise in cybersecurity science and technology (S&T) to preserve and expand the Internets wide-ranging benefits. This book reviews the strategy and implementation for research and development of federal cybersecurity.

U. S. critical infrastructures, such as financial institutions, commercial buildings, and energy production and transmission facilities, are systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, vital to the nations security, economy, and public health and safety. To secure these systems and assets, federal policy and the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) establish responsibilities for federal agencies designated as Sector-specific agencies (SSAs), including leading, facilitating, or supporting the security and resilience programs and associated activities of their designated critical infrastructure sectors. The objectives of this book are to determine the extent to which SSAs have identified the significance of cyber risks to their respective sectors networks and industrial control systems; taken actions to mitigate cyber risks within their respective sectors; collaborated across sectors to improve cybersecurity; and established performance metrics to monitor improvements in their respective sectors.

Digitale Daten gelten sowohl als Quelle fur Wirtschaftswachstum, Innovation und Arbeitsplatze wie auch als Treiber der datenbasierten Reorganisation praktisch aller gesellschaftlichen Bereiche ("Datafizierung"). Die datenoekonomisch befeuerten Transformationsprozesse des Sozialen werfen dementsprechend vielfaltige Fragen auf: Welche Daten sollen von wem wie verwertbar sein? Wie lasst sich legitime Verfugungsmacht gestalten? Usw. Der Band behandelt diese Fragen aus interdisziplinarer Perspektive.
