csclogo.gifToday I payed very close attention towards a presentation<\/a> held by Dr. Ann Cavoukian<\/strong> (Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario) at the Computer Science Club<\/a> of the University of Waterloo\/Canada<\/strong> where she explains „how to design software that properly protects users privacy“<\/strong>. She has also published the book entitled „Who Knows: Safeguarding Your Privacy in a Networked World.“ about these questions (see a Review<\/a>).<\/p>\n

She differentiates the terms „Privacy“ and „Security“ and emphasizes that security and privacy are NOT<\/strong> a zero-sum-game but can be designed to be a win-win-situation. I summed up her core statements graphically below.<\/p>\n

Interestingly she also refers to the german law of informational selfdetermination and refers to germany as a leader in data protection. She speaks about identity theft, and that there would be much less problems with it, if data was encrypted in databases.
