"A remarkably comprehensive and provocative collection of
essays."
-- Peter G. Neumann, Wired
Over the last several years, the realm of technology and privacy has
been transformed, creating a landscape that is both dangerous and
encouraging. Significant changes include large increases in
communications bandwidths; the widespread adoption of computer
networking and public-key cryptography; new digital media that support
a wide range of social relationships; a massive body of practical
experience in the development and application of data-protection laws;
and the rapid globalization of manufacturing, culture, and policy
making. The essays in this book provide a new conceptual framework for
the analysis and debate of privacy policy and for the design and
development of information systems.
