6th Workshop on Privacy Enhancing Technologies

Robinson College, Cambridge, United Kingdom
June 28 - June 30, 2006

 
Privacy Workshop  

PROGRAM

Keynote: The Missing Link

Susan Landau, Sun Microsystems Laboratories

In recent decades, we have seen significant progress in the development of tools to protect privacy. We have similarly seen various policy developments, e.g., the 1980 OECD Guidelines on Privacy Protection and 1997 application to the Internet. But

And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow.
      (T.S. Eliot, "The Hollow Men")

One shadow is that while privacy policies abound, when data is collected, there are few or no rules governing its security (which is a crucial requirement for data privacy). A current instance of this concerns the recent requirement for data retention by the European Union. This talk discusses what is needed to get to:

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Action.
