Privacy and security: what are you doing to keep the community safe?

ABSTRACT

In a networked "always on" world, robust corporate and personal security and privacy strategies are increasingly necessary to ensure that the unintended consequences of implementations do not spin impossibly "out-of-control". How do systems and by extension their designers, implementers, owners and users balance the desire for an open world community with the issues of individual privacy and community safety? What questions should business people, scientists, engineers, and researchers ask and what strategies should they consider as they discover requirements, develop systems, and deploy products? Issues from data misuse and encryption strategies to social engineering and meeting the challenge of identity theft (are you really "you"?) are no longer ignorable.
