Book SynopsisLarge-scale data loss and data privacy compliance breaches continue to make headline news, highlighting the need for stringent data protection policies, especially when personal or commercially sensitive information is at stake.

Book SynopsisIt began with an unsigned email: "I am a senior member of the intelligence community". What followed was the most spectacular intelligence breach ever, brought about by one extraordinary man, Edward Snowden. The consequences have shaken the leaders of nations worldwide, from Obama to Cameron, to the presidents of Brazil, France, and Indonesia, and the chancellor of Germany. Edward Snowden, a young computer genius working for America's National Security Agency, blew the whistle on the way this frighteningly powerful organisation uses new technology to spy on the entire planet. The spies call it "mastering the internet". Others call it the death of individual privacy. This is the inside story of Snowden's deeds and the journalists who faced down pressure from the US and UK governments to break a remarkable scoop. Snowden's story reads like a globe-trotting thriller, from the day he left his glamorous girlfriend in Hawaii, carrying a hard drive full of secrets, to the weeks of secret-spilling in Hong Kong and his battle for asylum. Now stuck in Moscow, a uniquely hunted man, he faces US espionage charges and an uncertain future in exile. What drove Snowden to sacrifice himself? Award-winning Guardian journalist Luke Harding asks the question which should trouble every citizen of the internet age. Luke Harding's other books include Wikileaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy and Mafia State: How One Reporter Became an Enemy of the Brutal New Russia.

Book Synopsis'Devastating and urgent, this book could not be more timely' Caroline Criado Perez, award-winning and bestselling author of Invisible WomenDanielle Citron takes the conversation about technology and privacy out of the boardrooms and op-eds to reach readers where we are - in our bathrooms and bedrooms; with our families and our lovers; in all the parts of our lives we assume are untouchable - and shows us that privacy, as we think we know it, is largely already gone.The boundary that once protected our intimate lives from outside interests is an artefact of the twentieth century. In the twenty-first, we have embraced a vast array of technology that enables constant access and surveillance of the most private aspects of our lives. From non-consensual pornography, to online extortion, to the sale of our data for profit, we are vulnerable to abuse -- and our laws have failed miserably to keep up.With vivid examples drawn from interviews with victims, activists and lawmakers from around the world, The Fight for Privacy reveals the threat we face and argues urgently and forcefully for a reassessment of privacy as a human right. As a legal scholar and expert, Danielle Citron is the perfect person to show us the way to a happier, better protected future.Trade ReviewIt's so refreshing to read an argument for privacy that centres women - Citron presents a crucial analysis that has been sorely missing from this important debate until now.

If you care about anyone, anywhere, you should read this book -- Safiya Noble, author of Algorithms of OppressionProfessor Citron - the brilliant, ground-breaking law professor and civil rights advocate - continues her important and impactful work in helping governments, society, and the titans of the technology sector to understand that our collective failure to protect our intimate privacy amounts to a massive failing to protect our basic civil rights. Through heart-breaking accounts form victims, a careful and detailed exposition of how a range of technologies are being weaponized against us, and a detailed review of the ethical and legal landscape governing these issues, The Fight for Privacy is a must read by anyone who cares about civil rights -- Hany Farid, UC BerkeleyThis is a terrific, though terrifying, exposé about how often our intimate activities and intimate information about us end up on social media. Professor Danielle Citron makes a compelling case for a 'right to intimate privacy' under the law. This beautifully written book deserves a wide audience and hopefully will inspire needed meaningful change in the law * Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law *When your wristwatch monitors your location and your health status and your window-shopping and purchases generate information sold and combined with other information about you, the accumulation of 'little assents' produce constant surveillance, risks of manipulation, and the elimination of privacy. Danielle Citron's expert and engaging treatment of 'technology-enabled privacy violations' shows why victims, digital platforms, and legislators alike turn to her for advice and for fights to reclaim privacy morally, legally, and practically -- Martha Minow, former Dean, Harvard Law SchoolPrivacy is politics, and if we want it back we must fight for it. In this open-hearted and down-to-earth book Danielle Citron offers reasons for optimism among the ruins of our once cherished privacy.

Lawmakers and citizens alike, this book is for you -- Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Professor Emeritus, Harvard Business SchoolDanielle Citron's book makes privacy undeniably and uncomfortably personal, shining a light on the ways technology is used to pry open the most intimate corners of our lives.

Arguing convincingly that our intimate privacy is a moral necessity being eroded in frightening and accelerating ways, Citron offers trenchant clarity and lucid hope for achieving justice in our digital future.

Book Synopsis** Featured as a Guardian Long Read **'[A] fast-paced, myth busting exposé' Max Blumenthal, author of The Management of Savagery'Contentious... forceful... salutary' The New YorkerEVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC NATURE OF THE INTERNET IS A MARKETING PLOY.As the Cambridge Analytica scandal has shown, private corporations consider it their right to use our data (and by extension, us) which ever way they see fit. Tempted by their appealing organisational and diagnostic tools, we have allowed private internet corporations access to the most intimate corners of our lives.But the internet was developed, from the outset, as a weapon.Looking at the hidden origins of many internet corporations and platforms, Levine shows that this is a function, not a bug of the online experience. Conceived as a surveillance tool by ARPA to control insurgents in the Vietnam War, the internet is now essential to our lives. This book investigates the troubling and unavoidable truth of its history and the unfathomable power of the corporations who now more or less own it.Without this book, your picture of contemporary society will be missing an essential piece of the puzzle.'A masterful job of research and reporting about the military origins of the 'world wide web' and how its essential nature has not changed in the years since its creation during the Cold War.' - Tim Shorrock, author of Spies For HireTrade ReviewContentious... forceful... salutary * The New Yorker *'Surveillance Valley is perhaps one of the most deeply disturbing books of the year.

Book SynopsisThe proliferation of virtual and augmented reality technologies into society raise significant questions for judges, legal institutions, and policy makers. For example, when should activities that occur in virtual worlds, or virtual images that are projected into real space (that is, augmented reality), count as protected First Amendment 'speech'? When should they instead count as a nuisance or trespass? Under what circumstances would the copying of virtual images infringe intellectual property laws, or the output of intelligent virtual avatars be patentable inventions or works of authorship eligible for copyright? And when should a person (or computer) face legal consequences for allegedly harmful virtual acts?The Research Handbook on the Law of Virtual and Augmented Reality addresses these questions and others, drawing upon free speech doctrine, criminal law, the law of data protection and privacy, and of jurisdiction, as well as upon potential legal rights for increasingly intelligent virtual avatars in VR worlds. The Handbook offers a comprehensive look at challenges to various legal doctrines raised by the emergence - and increasing use of - virtual and augmented reality worlds, and at how existing law in the USA, Europe, and other jurisdictions might apply to these emerging technologies, or evolve to address them. It also considers what legal questions about virtual and augmented reality are likely to be important, not just for judges and legal scholars, but also for the established businesses and start-ups that wish to make use of, and help shape, these important new technologies.This comprehensive Research Handbook will be an invaluable reference to those looking to keep pace with the dynamic field of virtual and augmented reality, including students and researchers studying intellectual property law as well as legal practitioners, computer scientists, engineers, game designers, and business owners.Contributors include: W.

YadinTrade Review'The Research Handbook on the Law or Virtual and Augmented Reality is an extraordinary contribution to the scholarship in this rapidly developing area. The work boasts an impressive list of contributors, and the depth and breadth of topics is quite striking. One might think that such a work would be of interest primarily to lawyers involved in the computer game industry, or in law and technology. But this area of law now reaches into daily life, and both practicing attorneys and scholars in the areas of tort law (defamation, privacy law, right of publicity), constitutional law, intellectual property, criminal law, and business law will also find much to interest them, and a great deal of insight to assist them in analyzing the very real questions that this area of law now presents us. Recommended.' --Christine Corcos, Louisiana State University and A&M, USThe Research Handbook on the Law of Virtual and Augmented Reality offers an all-encompassing view on this field of legal research, containing 20 chapters from scholars in US, Asia, and the European Union, that explore how these jurisdictions might apply to VA/R-technologies and apps.

Book SynopsisRevealing the politics underlying the rapid globalization of facial recognition technology (FRT), this topical book provides a cutting-edge, critical analysis of the expanding global market for FRT, and the rise of the transnational social movement that opposes it.With the use of FRT for policing, surveillance, and business steadily increasing, this book provides a timely examination of both the benefits of FRT, and the threats it poses to privacy rights, human rights, and civil liberties. Interviews with analysts and activists with expertise in FRT find that the anti-FRT movement is highly uneven, with disproportionate influence in Western democracies and relatively little influence in authoritarian states and low-income countries in the developing world. Through a global analysis of the uptake and regulation of FRT, chapters create a holistic understanding of the politics behind this technology. Concluding with a look towards the future prospects of FRT in the face of the growing size, reach, and power of its opposition, the book reflects more broadly on the power of transnational social movements and civil society activism to prevent the globalization and normalization of new technologies.A visionary exploration of FRT, this book will be invaluable to students and scholars of politics and policy, alongside activists, stakeholders, and policy makers interested in the growing power of social movements to resist new technology.Trade Review‘Facial recognition technologies (FRT) are spreading rapidly worldwide, and have become embedded in numerous everyday government and corporate practices. This widespread adoption has prompted extensive criticism, particularly from civil society groups concerned about human rights abuses and discriminatory impacts for marginalized and vulnerable communities. In Identified, Tracked, and Profiled, Peter Dauvergne provides a much-needed and thoroughly comprehensive overview of the regulatory issues and policy disputes around FRT. This book is essential reading for those interested in political contests over our changing digital landscape.’ -- Ron Deibert, University of Toronto, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1.

Book Synopsis In the 1970s and 1980s West Germany was a pioneer in both the use of the new information technologies for population surveillance and the adoption of privacy protection legislation. During this era of cultural change and political polarization, the expansion, bureaucratization, and computerization of population surveillance disrupted the norms that had governed the exchange and use of personal information in earlier decades and gave rise to a set of distinctly postindustrial social conflicts centered on the use of personal information as a means of social governance in the welfare state. Combining vast archival research with a groundbreaking theoretical analysis, this book gives a definitive account of the politics of personal information in West Germany at the dawn of the information society.Trade Review “This is an important book crafted by a master of intellectual history. It will be widely consumed and discussed among German historians and a wide range of intellectuals interested in the origins of the modern surveillance state. Essential.” • Choice “This book unites disparate episodes in West German history into a careful and illuminating exploration of Germans’ attitudes toward the privacy of their own personal data, the changing implications for those attitudes as technological capacity expands, and the very conception of governmentality as the state inescapably can see more and more into the intimate lives of its citizens.” • Kenneth Ledford, Case Western Reserve University “Frohman has done a truly masterful job of capturing the debates around privacy and surveillance, demonstrating with the help of the West German case how these concepts have evolved alongside information technologies. For those looking for a path forward, a way out of the panopticon or Big Brother’s grasp, the book’s most vital contribution is its use of privacy not only to theorize the information state but to actively contest the new forms of power that state pursues.” • Karrin Hanshew, Michigan State UniversityTable of Contents List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Acknowledgements Introduction: Surveillance, Privacy, and Power in the Information Society Part I: Population Registration, Power, and Privacy Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisWhat are citizens of a free country willing to tolerate in the name of public safety? Jon Fasman journeys from the US to London — one of the most heavily surveilled cities on earth — to China and beyond, to expose the legal, political, and moral issues surrounding how the state uses surveillance technology. Automatic licence-plate readers allow police to amass a granular record of where people go, when, and for how long. Drones give the state eyes — and possibly weapons — in the skies. Algorithms purport to predict where and when crime will occur, and how big a risk a suspect has of reoffending. Specially designed tools can crack a device’s encryption keys, rending all privacy protections useless. And facial recognition technology poses perhaps a more dire and lasting threat than any other form of surveillance. Jon Fasman examines how these technologies help police do their jobs, and what their use means for our privacy rights and civil liberties, exploring vital questions, such as: Should we expect to be tracked and filmed whenever we leave our homes? Should the state have access to all of the data we generate? Should private companies? What might happen if all of these technologies are combined and put in the hands of a government with scant regard for its citizens’ civil liberties? Through on-the-ground reporting and vivid storytelling, Fasman explores one of the most urgent issues of our time.Trade Review‘[A] deeply reported and sometimes chilling look at mass surveillance technologies in the American justice system … Fasman avoids alarmism while making a strong case for greater public awareness and tighter regulations around these technologies. This illuminating account issues an essential warning about a rising threat to America’s civil liberties.’ * Publishers Weekly *‘A cogent critique of the age of ubiquitous surveillance … An urgent examination of police-state intrusions on the privacy of lawful and law-abiding citizens.’ * Kirkus Reviews *‘If you want to understand the stakes and the landscape of surveillance in your life — yes, yours right now — We See It All is an outstanding place to start. Fasman walks his readers through a meticulously balanced review of how police, corporations, local businesses, governments, and ordinary people conspire to exchange real privacy for the feeling of safety. An evocative storyteller, Fasman lays out his case that, because government regulation lags impossibly behind technological advances, the only salve for our predicament is collective awareness. And collective action. The writing is sober and sobering. And, though the recent fires of Minneapolis, Atlanta, Portland, and the nation have not centred squarely on surveillance, Fasman argues convincingly that the next ones very well might.’ -- Phillip Atiba Goff, co-founder and CEO of the Centre for Policing Equity, and professor of African American studies and psychology at Yale University‘This powerful, engrossing book will challenge your assumptions about persistent surveillance. Jon Fasman makes a clear case for civil liberties and explains how our laws and public safety infrastructure must keep pace with the advancement of technology. It's a must-read for anyone interested in the future and the unintended consequences of artificial intelligence, data, encryption and recognition technology.’ -- Amy Webb, founder of The Future Today Institute, author of The Big Nine and The Signals are Talking‘Jon Fasman has given us a stellar account of the use of surveillance technologies by the police. It's comprehensive, even-handed, informative, and fun to read.’ -- Barry Friedman, Jacob D. Fuchsberg professor at New York University School of Law‘This lively book is a call to action.’ -- David Anderson * Literary Review *‘Attempts to shake us out of our complacency … We See It All is a brutal reminder of the ‘perpetual’ surveillance powers of the police and government.’ -- Bernard E. Harcourt * TLS *Praise for The Unpossessed City: ‘Bestseller Fasman … takes a compassionate look at the hard truths of modern-day Russia in his absorbing second novel … The bio-thriller aspect of the plot provides a loose frame for Fasman's real concerns … and, more importantly, the trials and tribulations of the new Russia itself.’ * Publishers Weekly *Praise for The Geographer's Library: ‘A brainy noir … [A] winningly cryptic tale … [A] cabinet of wonders written by a novelist whose surname and sensibility fit comfortably on the shelf between Umberto Eco and John Fowles.’ * Los Angeles Times *Praise for The Geographer's Library: ‘One of the year's most literate and absorbing entertainments.’ -- Kirkus Reviews

Book SynopsisEver get the feeling you are being watched? The thieves that steal identities are using cutting-edge, high-tech tools that can take one fact from a social media site, another from an online travel survey, a third from a purchase made via the internet and even access highly confidential medical records. Little by little they piece together your buying habits, your religious and school affiliations, the names of your family and pets, your political views, your driving habits, the places you have vacationed, and much, much more. This is not science fiction and this is not the future, this is what is happening to each and every one of us now - today. And although the vast majority of adults say they are concerned about providing personal information online, nearly 1/3 say they have never used a privacy setting on their computer, never inquired about the charities to whom they donate their money, never worried about someone accessing their medical information and never thought twice about giving a financial institution their social security number over the internet. The Audacity to Spy, written by an attorney with an interest in privacy laws and legislation and her grandmother who is an experienced Information Analyst, reveals the ways in which your identity and personal data have been stolen by various sources. Yes, you should be concerned about the NSA and other government agencies having your phone logs and emails; but you should worry more about the insidious data brokers that are collecting information about you every time you log on to your laptop, use your cell phone, access an app, or use your GPS. Companies are collecting a variety of data about you, combining it with location information, and using it to both personalise their own services and to sell to other advertisers for behavioural marketing. Law enforcement agencies are tracking your car and insurance companies are installing devices to monitor your driving. Clerks are making copies of your credit cards. And if that wasn''t enough, the FBI has reported that hackers have been discovered embedding malicious software in two million computers, opening a virtual door for criminals to rifle through users'' valuable personal and financial information. More than warning you about the ways your data can be stolen, at the end of each chapter are suggestions for limiting the amount of personal data that is available to be seized and divulged. Can you completely cut off the flow of information about yourself? The answer is no, not completely - there is already too much data out there and increasingly sophisticated ways to obtain bits and pieces. But knowing how it is collected, and by whom, gives you the power to control sensitive information and determine how much of your life you wish to expose to those more than willing to exploit it.

Book SynopsisThis book examines how face recognition technology is affecting privacy and confidentiality in an era of enhanced surveillance. Further, it offers a new approach to the complex issues of privacy and confidentiality, by drawing on Joseph K in Kafka’s disturbing novel The Trial, and on Isaiah Berlin’s notion of liberty and freedom. Taking into consideration rights and wrongs, protection from harm associated with compulsory visibility, and the need for effective data protection law, the author promotes ethical practices by reinterpreting privacy as a property right. To protect this right, the author advocates the licensing of personal identifiable images where appropriate.The book reviews American, UK and European case law concerning privacy and confidentiality, the effect each case has had on the developing jurisprudence, and the ethical issues involved. As such, it offers a valuable resource for students of ethico-legal fields, professionals specialising in image rights law, policy-makers, and liberty advocates and activists.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisThe first section of this book addresses the evolution of CISO (chief information security officer) leadership, with the most mature CISOs combining strong business and technical leadership skills. CISOs can now add significant value when they possess an advanced understanding of cutting-edge security technologies to address the risks from the nearly universal operational dependence of enterprises on the cloud, the Internet, hybrid networks, and third-party technologies demonstrated in this book. In our new cyber threat-saturated world, CISOs have begun to show their market value. Wall Street is more likely to reward companies with good cybersecurity track records with higher stock valuations. To ensure that security is always a foremost concern in business decisions, CISOs should have a seat on corporate boards, and CISOs should be involved from beginning to end in the process of adopting enterprise technologies.The second and third sections of this book focus on building strong security teams, and exercising prudence in cybersecurity. CISOs can foster cultures of respect through careful consideration of the biases inherent in the socio-linguistic frameworks shaping our workplace language and through the cultivation of cyber exceptionalism. CISOs should leave no stone unturned in seeking out people with unique abilities, skills, and experience, and encourage career planning and development, in order to build and retain a strong talent pool. The lessons of the breach of physical security at the US Capitol, the hack back trend, and CISO legal liability stemming from network and data breaches all reveal the importance of good judgment and the necessity of taking proactive stances on preventative measures. This book will target security and IT engineers, administrators and developers, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and CFOs. Risk personnel, CROs, IT, security auditors and security researchers will also find this book useful.Table of ContentsCISOs – Leading from the front!.- More CISOs on Corporate Boards.- Cyber program turnaround by a new CISO.- CISOs - the next step!.- CISO Maturity Model.- CISO guidance on some Emerging and Disruptive Technologies.- See Something, Do Something.- My journey as a writer.- Defensive measures in the wake of the SolarWinds fallout.- Cyber Exceptionalism.- Special Needs, Disability, and Cybersecurity: often, a great fit.- Bias-free lexicon.- The grass is not always greener on the other side.- Let not any outage go to waste.- If you can’t hire them, then develop them.- Should you accept Counteroffers?.- Importance of 1:1 Conversations.- The Cyber Hygiene Mantra.- Cybersecurity lessons from the breach of physical security at US Capitol building.- Protect society, the commonwealth, and the infrastructure - post COVID-19.- Self-Service Recovery Options for Bricked Windows Devices.- Certification and Accreditation.- Hack back or not.- CISOs need Liability Protection.- Enable Secure work-from-home.

Book SynopsisThis open access book provides researchers and professionals with a foundational understanding of online privacy as well as insight into the socio-technical privacy issues that are most pertinent to modern information systems, covering several modern topics (e.g., privacy in social media, IoT) and underexplored areas (e.g., privacy accessibility, privacy for vulnerable populations, cross-cultural privacy). The book is structured in four parts, which follow after an introduction to privacy on both a technical and social level: Privacy Theory and Methods covers a range of theoretical lenses through which one can view the concept of privacy. The chapters in this part relate to modern privacy phenomena, thus emphasizing its relevance to our digital, networked lives. Next, Domains covers a number of areas in which privacy concerns and implications are particularly salient, including among others social media, healthcare, smart cities, wearable IT, and trackers. The Audiences section then highlights audiences that have traditionally been ignored when creating privacy-preserving experiences: people from other (non-Western) cultures, people with accessibility needs, adolescents, and people who are underrepresented in terms of their race, class, gender or sexual identity, religion or some combination. Finally, the chapters in Moving Forward outline approaches to privacy that move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions, explore ethical considerations, and describe the regulatory landscape that governs privacy through laws and policies. Perhaps even more so than the other chapters in this book, these chapters are forward-looking by using current personalized, ethical and legal approaches as a starting point for re-conceptualizations of privacy to serve the modern technological landscape. The book’s primary goal is to inform IT students, researchers, and professionals about both the fundamentals of online privacy and the issues that are most pertinent to modern information systems. Lecturers or teachers can assign (parts of) the book for a “professional issues” course. IT professionals may select chapters covering domains and audiences relevant to their field of work, as well as the Moving Forward chapters that cover ethical and legal aspects. Academics who are interested in studying privacy or privacy-related topics will find a broad introduction in both technical and social aspects.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book offers a structured overview and a comprehensive guide to the emerging field of Autonomous Intelligent Cyber Defense Agents (AICA). The book discusses the current technical issues in autonomous cyber defense and offers information on practical design approaches. The material is presented in a way that is accessible to non-specialists, with tutorial information provided in the initial chapters and as needed throughout the book. The reader is provided with clear and comprehensive background and reference material for each aspect of AICA.Today’s cyber defense tools are mostly watchers. They are not active doers. They do little to plan and execute responses to attacks, and they don’t plan and execute recovery activities. Response and recovery – core elements of cyber resilience – are left to human cyber analysts, incident responders and system administrators. This is about to change. The authors advocate this vision, provide detailed guide to how such a vision can be realized in practice, and its current state of the art.This book also covers key topics relevant to the field, including functional requirements and alternative architectures of AICA, how it perceives and understands threats and the overall situation, how it plans and executes response and recovery, how it survives threats, and how human operators deploy and control AICA. Additionally, this book covers issues of testing, risk, and policy pertinent to AICA, and provides a roadmap towards future R&D in this field.This book targets researchers and advanced students in the field of cyber defense and resilience. Professionals working in this field as well as developers of practical products for cyber autonomy will also want to purchase this book.Table of ContentsChapter. 1.

Book SynopsisThis book explains the main problems related to digital preservation using examples based on a modern version of the well-known Cinderella fairy tale. Digital preservation is the endeavor to protect digital material against loss, corruption, hardware/software technology changes, and changes in the knowledge of the community.Τhe structure of the book is modular, with each chapter consisting of two parts: the episode and the technical background. The episodes narrate the story in chronological order, exactly as in a fairy tale. In addition to the story itself, each episode is related to one or more digital preservation problems, which are discussed in the technical background section of the chapter. To reveal a more general and abstract formulation of these problems, the notion of pattern is used. Each pattern has a name, a summary of the problem, a narrative describing an attempt to solve the problem, an explanation of what could have been done to avoid or alleviate this problem, some lessons learned, and lastly, links to related patterns discussed in other chapters.The book is intended for anyone wanting to understand the problems related to digital preservation, even if they lack the technical background. It explains the technical details at an introductory level, provides references to the main approaches (or solutions) currently available for tackling related problems, and is rounded out by questions and exercises appropriate for computer engineers and scientists. In addition, the book's website, maintained by the authors, presents the contents of Cinderella's “real USB stick,” and includes links to various tools and updates.Trade Review“‘Cinderella’s Stick’ is an excellent book for all readers in research libraries. It provides the right concepts in a very smart and innovative way, and it underlines that the amount of digital information that we alone produce is immense and the challenges of fragility are here to stay.” (Giannis Tsakonas, Liber Quarterly, Vol. 29(1), 2019)Table of Contents1 A Few Words About Digital Preservation And Book Overview.- 2 The Fairy Tale Of Cinderella.- 3 Daphne (A Modern Cinderella).- 4 Reading the Contents of the USB Stick.- 5 First Contact with the Contents of the USB Stick.- 6 The File Poem.html: On Reading Characters.- 7 The File MyPlace.png: On Getting the Provenance of a Digital Object.- 8 The File todo.csv – On Understanding Data Values.- 9 The File destroyAll.exe: On Executing Proprietary Software.- 10 The File Mymusic.class: On Decompiling Software.- 11 The File yyy.java: On Compiling And Running Software.- 12 The File myFriendsBook.war: On Running Web Applications.- 13 The File roulette.BAS: On Running Obsolete Software.- 14 The Folder myExperiment: On Verifying and Reproducing Data.- 15 The File MyContacts.con: On Reading Unknown Digital Resources.- 16 The File SecretMeeting.Txt: On Authenticity Checking.- 17 The Personal Archive Of Robert: On Preservation Planning.- 18 The Meta-Pattern: Toward a Common Umbrella.- 19 How Robert Eventually Found Daphne.- 20 Daphne’s Dream.- 21 Epilogue.

Book SynopsisDigitale Daten gelten sowohl als Quelle für Wirtschaftswachstum, Innovation und Arbeitsplätze wie auch als Treiber der datenbasierten Reorganisation praktisch aller gesellschaftlichen Bereiche („Datafizierung“). Die datenökonomisch befeuerten Transformationsprozesse des Sozialen werfen dementsprechend vielfältige Fragen auf: Welche Daten sollen von wem wie verwertbar sein? Wie lässt sich legitime Verfügungsmacht gestalten? Usw. Der Band behandelt diese Fragen aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive.Trade Review“... Das Werk enthält vielmehr scharfe Analysen und innovative Gedanken renommierter Forscher unterschiedlichster Fachrichtungen. Damit lädt es nicht nur, wie es der Titel vermuten lässt, zu einem Blick in die Zukunft unserer „datengetriebenen“ Zeit, sondern vor allem auch zu einem Blick über den Tellerrand ein.” (Dr. Alexander Golland, in: DATENSCHUTZ - BERATER, Jg. 43, Heft 12, 2019)Table of ContentsDatenökonomische Geschäftsmodelle.- Kollektivgut & Gemeinwohl in der Datenökonomie.- Handlungsspielräume in der Datenökonomie.- Verfügungsmacht in der Datenökonomie.- Gestaltung der Datenökonomie.

Book SynopsisDie in diesem Open-Access-Buch zusammengeführten interdisziplinären Untersuchungen des „Forums Privatheit“ gehen der Frage nach, wie sich die Verwirklichungsbedingungen von Privatheit und Selbstbestimmung durch die Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche radikal ändern. Nahezu jede Lebensregung hinterlässt Datenspuren, ermöglicht vielfältige und intensive Datensammlungen über Menschen, unterstützt Verhaltensbeeinflussungen und verstärkt Ungleichgewichte in der Informationsmacht. Es analysiert die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf den rechtlichen und politischen Schutz der Grundrechte, die ökonomischen Beziehungen, die gesellschaftliche Integration und die individuelle Entfaltung. Das Buch zeigt aber auch auf, wie Digitalisierung und ihre gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen technisch, sozial, ökonomisch und rechtlich gestaltet werden können, um Privatheit und Selbstbestimmung zu schützen.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Neue Konzepte für den Grundrechtsschutz in der digitalen Welt.- Governance der EU-Datenschutzpolitik: Harmonisierung und Technikneutralität in und Innovationswirkung der DSGVO.- Zum Zusammenspiel zwischen Unternehmen und Verbrauchern in der Datenökonomie: Herausforderungen und neue Gestaltungsansätze.- Privatheit und Digitalität: Zur soziotechnischen Transformation des selbstbestimmten Lebens.- Privatheit, Ethik und demokratische Selbstregulierung in einer digitalen Gesellschaft.- Von Schutzbedürfnissen und Schutzverhalten: Einemedienpsychologische Analyse des individuellen Privatheitsschutzes.- Digitaler Fußabdruck.- Datenschutz und Privatheitsschutz durch Gestaltung der Systeme.

Book SynopsisDieses Lehrbuch behandelt im ersten Teil schwerpunktmäßig technische Maßnahmen, die den Schutz personenbezogener Daten sicherstellen. Dazu werden grundlegende Verfahren der Anonymisierung und der Gewährleistung von Anonymität im Internet (z. B. Tor) vorgestellt. Das Buch gibt einen Überblick über gängige Verfahren des Identitätsmanagements (z. B. OpenID Connect) und die in elektronischen Ausweisdokumenten (z. B. im Personalausweis) verwendeten Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. Die Datenschutz-Garantien der vermittelten Ansätze werden im Detail behandelt. Im Bereich des World Wide Web erfährt der Leser, wo die Probleme aus Sicht des Datenschutzes liegen und wie diese Lücken geschlossen werden können. Anonyme Bezahlverfahren und eine Untersuchung von Bitcoin runden den technischen Teil des Buches ab. Der Leser lernt Ansätze aus der Praxis kennen, um so je nach Anforderungen in der Systementwicklung das passende Verfahren auswählen zu können.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 können technische Maßnahmen nicht richtig implementiert werden. Zum besseren Verständnis erfolgt ein Überblick über die Rechtsordnung insgesamt, in die das Datenschutzrecht eingeordnet wird. Betrachtet werden die europäische und die verfassungsrechtliche Dimension des Datenschutzes. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den Regelungen der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung. Dabei werden auch besonders häufig vorkommende und Fragen aufwerfende Verarbeitungssituationen wie das Webtracking erörtert. Beispielhaft werden datenschutzrechtliche Fälle bearbeitet.Trade Review“... Im rechtlichen Teil ist hervorzuheben, dass ... Grundlagen des Rechtsverständnisses zielgruppenbezogen für Informatikerinnen und Informatiker dargestellt werden. ... Es bildet die technischen Themen umfassend ab und bietet für das rechtliche Verständnis aktueller Fragestellungen eine solide Grundlage.” (Rudi Kramer, in: AWV-Informationen, 14.

Book SynopsisThoughts are free - but they are no longer secret. Today, our data is automatically stored and analyzed by algorithms ”behind the cloud” - where we no longer have control over our data. Our most private and secret information is entrusted to the internet and permanently collected, stacked and linked to our digital twins. With and without our consent. "Privacy is dead", as Mark Zuckerberg put it. The question is: How did we get there? And, if the actors behind the cloud know everything: what is still private today, and are there any personal secrets at all when the "gods" behind the cloud possibly know us better than our friends and family?The book uses a wealth of case studies (e.g. cryptocurrencies, journalism, digital traces of sexual preferences) to develop a typology of privacy in the history of ideas. Furthermore, it shows the areas of life in which big data and artificial intelligence have already made inroads. This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition Die Rückseite der Cloud by Peter Seele and Lucas Zapf, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.Table of ContentsIntroduction: The reverse side of the cloud.- Part 1: The secret private - introduction and derivation.- "Privacy is dead": How could it come to this?- Part 2: Symptoms of the structural change of the private.- Symptoms of an immanent digital omniscience.- Part 3: Theory of the structural change of the private.- Functional systematics of the structural change of the private.- Summary of the theory or: Thoughts are free - but no longer secret.- Conclusions.- Outlook: Digital authenticity - an immersive consumer experience.
