Designing Software With Privacy in Mind
dalektcalum writes "Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Canada's Information and Privacy Commissioner, recently gave a talk entitled Privacy by Design. The talk starts off by covering the basics of privacy, and privacy law, and then moves onto the important component: how to design software that properly protects users privacy. The majority of the talk is spent on design principles, but also examines specific technologies (such as Elliptical Curve Cryptography)." The site includes a flash video of the talk, but there are also several torrents for folks who want to avoid hammering their servers.
Bah, user privacy my bottom. Information wants to be free! Now the government privacy komisar wanting to implement biometrics to 'protect' me seems like some crazy leftist nutjob after my vital fluids.
...but interesting, too. ;)
