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 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.

Book SynopsisThis book aims to sort out the clear logic of the development of machine learning-driven privacy preservation in IoTs, including the advantages and disadvantages, as well as the future directions in this under-explored domain. In big data era, an increasingly massive volume of data is generated and transmitted in Internet of Things (IoTs), which poses great threats to privacy protection. Motivated by this, an emerging research topic, machine learning-driven privacy preservation, is fast booming to address various and diverse demands of IoTs. However, there is no existing literature discussion on this topic in a systematically manner. The issues of existing privacy protection methods (differential privacy, clustering, anonymity, etc.) for IoTs, such as low data utility, high communication overload, and unbalanced trade-off, are identified to the necessity of machine learning-driven privacy preservation. Besides, the leading and emerging attacks pose further threats to privacy protection in this scenario. To mitigate the negative impact, machine learning-driven privacy preservation methods for IoTs are discussed in detail on both the advantages and flaws, which is followed by potentially promising research directions. Readers may trace timely contributions on machine learning-driven privacy preservation in IoTs. The advances cover different applications, such as cyber-physical systems, fog computing, and location-based services. This book will be of interest to forthcoming scientists, policymakers, researchers, and postgraduates.
