PRIVACY,
SECURITY, AND SOCIETY
The
combination of the networking and computers make information vastly
more accessible, across long distances, and at significantly lower
cost. This raises questions about maintaining appropriate privacy
of information about individuals and assuring the security of computers,
networks, as they become integral to almost all activities of society.
Cultural norms, national policies, and even our laws are challenged
by the changes brought by information technology. Panelists will
discuss the problems of assuring appropriate privacy and security
for our information society.
