As depicted in David Lodge's celebrated novel Small World, the
perceived size of our world experienced a progressive decrease as
jet airplanes became affordable to ever greater shares of the
earth's population. Yet, the really dramatic shrinking had to wait
until the mid-1990s, when Internet became widespread and the
information age stopped being an empty buzzword. But small is not
necessarily beautiful. We now live in a global village and, alas,
some (often very powerful) voices state that we ought not expect
any more privacy in it. Should this be true, we would have created
our own nightmare: a global village combining the worst of
conventional villages, where a lot of information on an individual
is known by the other villagers, and conventional big cities, where
the invidual feels lost in a grim and potentially dangerous place.
Whereas security is essential for organizations to survive,
individuals and so- times even companies also need some privacy to
develop comfortably and lead a free life. This is the reason why
individual privacy is mentioned in the Univ- sal Declaration of
Human Rights (1948) and data privacy is protected by law in most
Western countries. Indeed, without privacy, the rest of fundamental
rights, like freedom of speech and democracy, are impaired. The
outstanding challenge is to create technology that implements those
legal guarantees in a way compatible with functionality and
security. This book edited by Dr. Javier Herranz and Dr.
