The Debatable Issue of Information Privacy on the Internet
Information privacy debate – A2069336 Is the information on internet private? Do employers have a
right to access employee information on social media? Why or Why not? Information on the internet
is there for public scrutiny. Take for instance some of the information that is posted on ones social
networking site's profile like work and education, place of residence, relationship and family,
contact information, birthday, sex, and relationship status. These pieces of information can be easily
accessed by your friends and friend's friends. Besides much information can be found on people
when googled. Employers do have a right to access employee information on social media. The
information obtained from this media can be used in hiring and retention decisions. Social media
contains a lot of publicly available information that can be used to evaluate current and potential
employers. To guard against lawsuits that relate to negligent hiring and retention it is only practical
that employers scrutinize whoever they want to employ using social media (Elzweig & Peeples,
2009). However, care has to be taken to guard against liability for invading privacy of their current
or potential employees. Many social networking sites have privacy settings that only allow your
friends or friend's friends to access information about you. With default privacy settings, everybody,
including potential employers, is capable of getting crucial information on their would–be
employees and

How The Internet Has Impact Information Privacy
How the Internet has impacted Information Privacy
Information privacy is referred to as data protection. It entails the existing relationship of gathering
and spreading of the information, public expectation of privacy, technology and the legal
circumstances pertaining to data privacy. Personal information consists of political records, financial
data, website data, medical records, business related information and criminal records among others.
With the evolution of technology and the internet, there have been upcoming concerns concerning
information privacy. The internet has increased the level of information that can be gathered and
analyzed. Over the last decade, there have been groundbreaking improvements in technology which
have enhanced whet people can d with the technology at any given time. For instance, through the
use of the internet, one can use global system positioning system locators to acquire real time data
about a person or object's movement and speed. This was not nearly possible thirty years ago.
Another example is that cell phones embedded with E–911 services can be used to locate an
individual's precise location (Waldo, Lin and Millett, 2007). Such devices are mostly used by
parents to monitor their children's whereabouts.

Security policy is a document that contains rules and regulations on how to protect the network and
its resources. It covers areas such as password, Internet and E–mail policies, administrative and user
responsibilities, disaster recovery and intrusion detection. Effective security policy reduces risks and
protects data and information. The aim of security policy is to create a secure organization by
protecting the privacy, integrity and accessibility of systems and information, as well as explaining
the members how they are responsible for protection of the company's resources and how important
secure communication is for the whole organization. Every security policy should take into
consideration the organization's culture and structure so that it can support productivity without
having a negative impact on the members and the organization's goals. Security policies protect
from external threats and reduce internal risks (SANS, 2015).
The three security policies that I would recommend to an organization are the Acceptable Use
Policy (AUP), the Disposal and Destruction Policy and the Firewall Policy.
The Acceptable Use Policy is a document that contains restrictions for access to corporate network
or the Internet. It shows the proper usage of company's resources and specifies the consequences for
unacceptable actions. The AUP defines how to use company's network and what activities are
allowed when working with company's equipment. A member of an organization is allowed to

The Big Data Is Preserve Privacy Information Of The...
The most important and significant challenge in the big data is to preserve privacy information of
the customers, employees, and the organizations. It is very sensitive and includes conceptual,
technical as well as legal significance. Any collected information about a person, when combined
with other sets of data, can lead to the finding of persons secret and private information. " As big
data expands the sources of data it can use, the trustworthiness of each data source needs to be
verified, and techniques should be explored to identify maliciously inserted data" (Jaseena K.U.
Julie M. David). Big data gives us a significant opportunity in the field of national security, a
breakthrough of diseases, medical researchers, marketing and business analysis, urban planning, and
so on. But these exceptional advantages of big data are also restricted by the privacy concerns and
the data protection. On the other side, privacy is a huge concern. Critical pieces of information of
users are collected and used in furtherance to add value for any businesses. This is done by
exploiting the insight in their personal information, and in most of the cases, users are totally
unaware of it. The user might not want to share his/ her information. But, it is already being known

With the evolution of Internet, new technologies are appearing and new ways of doing business are
slowly changing the world. One of those new business process are online stores. This technology
allows user to sell or buy their products or services online. These data exchanged during those
operations are extremely very critical and no error with the manipulation of these important
information can be allowed. For the protection of those personal and financial information, security
plays a big role in this industry. There are main elements in the transaction security are: – The
confidentiality of the information – The integrity of the information – The authentication of the
information – The non–repudiation of the information – And the authorization. The confidentiality
of the information is one of the most important element in the transaction security. It can be defined
as the protection of a user's information, personal and financial, from other parties than the recipient.
Some errors can be committed when manipulating delicate data. Integrity enables the recipient to
ensure that the information he received by a sender is accurate. The authentication of the
information is provided by the user; it is a confirmation, by the user, ensuring that the data is
authentic. The non–repudiation validates that both the user/sender and the recipient/receiver have
received and sent data to each other. This is to make sure that neither of the two parties can denies

This usually involves using database techniques such as spatial. These patterns can then be seen as a
kind of summary of the input data.
In recent years, data mining has been viewed as a threat to privacy because of the widespread
proliferation of electronic data maintained by [2] corporations. A number of techniques have been
proposed for modifying or transforming the data in such a way so as to preserve privacy. The
privacy preserving in data mining concerns the protection of confidential data from unauthorized
users. The confidential data may be numerical, categorical or both. The protection of confidential
data may give personal security to the workers of a company, government employers and sometimes
it concerns with national security.
A key problem that arises in any mass collection of data is that of confidentiality. The need for
privacy preserving is sometimes due to law [3] or can be motivated by business interests. However,
sharing of data can be beneficial to others and give mutual gain. A key utility of large databases
today is research, whether it is scientific or economic and market oriented. For example, medical
field has much to gain by pooling data for research. Despite the potential gain, this is often not
possible due to the confidentiality issues which arise. So the privacy of the one's confidential data

forms and cheques and should also not display it on the public lists, ID cards of students or badges.
The student information that is available on the college websites and portals and are easily
accessible by any general public, may also result in loss of data and identity theft by utilizing
preapproved and unsolicited credit cards. Thus students are raising such issues themselves

The Impact Of Internet On Information Privacy
The internet has revolutionised humankind. It has allowed a level of communication that had never
been experienced previously. The hosting and transfer of data (with its subsequent change into
information after human interpretation), and the ability to do so from any device with an internet
connection has altered almost every facet of human life. According to Antoun Nabhan, we "no
longer 'use' (the internet) as much as we 'live' in it".
However, the emergence of the internet has also brought unforeseen complications. One major
complication is the changes it has wrought upon information privacy. This paper will examine the
role the internet has played in regards to information privacy, and the impact these changes have had
on society at large.
The term 'information privacy' is a complicated concept that has a variety of meanings. Roger
Clarke asserts that it is "the interest an individual has in controlling, or at least, significantly
influencing, the handling of data about themselves." Techopedia's definition of information privacy
is "the privacy of personal information and usually relates to personal data stored on computer
systems." The Australian Law Reform Commission states that it "involves the establishment of rules
governing the collection and handling of personal data." As well as this, information privacy has
also been classified as "data privacy" and "data protection", often with the three terms being used
interchangeably.

Now, to actually use one of these apps, all you have to do is make sure your recipient has the same
app, and send them a message. It is literally that easy. A lot of the steps of encryption use in these
apps are taken care of by the apps themselves. To truly understand how this works, let us explore
end–to–end encryption.
As previously mentioned, end–to–end encryption is a form of encryption in which only the
endpoints of communication can read a message because the parties at both endpoints know the
encryption key for messages. To establish this line of communication, systems that use end–to–end
encryption use a form of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) that is used for making and sharing a pre–
shared secret. PGP can be explained through an analogy that treats the pre–shared secret as cookies,
so imagine you are trying to send someone a box of some amazing cookies. You only want your
recipient to get these cookies, so you go out to buy a safe and a key, called key A, to said safe. Your
receiver has a private key, let us call this key B, of their own that can open any lock that matches to
that key, so you get a small box that can be opened by key B to put key A in. Now for your friend to
receive the cookies, send them the safe and the small box.
When your friend receives this, they should recognize that key B can open the smaller box with key
A inside. Now that they have key A, they can open the safe and start to enjoy some delicious

data to anyone who hands them a check, and don't even tell you what data was sent and to whom.
Often, the only way people find out is when they discover fraudulent charges on their credit cards,
mysterious access to their bank accounts, or people obtaining loans and other items in their name.

Analysis and Insights On The Value of Digital Privacy
In the Information Technology Age
Introduction
The need for ensuring the security of nations and enterprises on the one hand and the need for
protecting the privacy of individuals on the other, are creating a myriad of conflicts regarding ethics,
laws and personal rights. Never before in the history of modern society has there been such a strong
emphasis on capturing, analyzing, categorizing and using personal data that had been highly
protected in the past for purposes of securing nations (Ottensmeyer, Heroux, 1991).
Correspondingly, there has never been a time when every aspect of life in an organization is
monitored, from personal computer and telephone use to the use of personal Wi–Fi and networking
devices (Riedy, Wen, 2010). The first section of this analysis is to analyze three technologies that
allow individuals to research other citizens' data and also discuss the advantages and disadvantages
of these approaches to public access of information. The strategies or steps that citizens can do to
protect their confidential information is also discussed as is the Federal law that enables the U.S.
Government to gain legal right to make private information public. This specific law is called the
Communications Assistance For Law Enforcement Act and is primarily used for providing greater
information sharing within and between government agencies in fighting terrorism, piracy and

The Value of Digital Privacy in an Information Technology Age Introduction Individual citizens'
rights to digital privacy continue to be to challenged by the increasing need for national security one
the one hand, and the increasing digital vigilance many companies are putting into place to protect
themselves while learning more about their customers. These factors are a volatile catalyst that
continues to change the ethical, legal and personal landscape rights of digital privacy in the
information technology age. The depth and pace of change that is occurring in the areas of
capturing, aggregating, analyzing and using personal data is unprecedented and will continued to
escalate as new risks emerge (Ottensmeyer, Heroux, 1991). In conjunction with these volatile
catalysts of change, there has never been an era where every aspect of activity in a company or
enterprise is monitored (Riedy, Wen, 2010). From the use of company telephones and networks to
the monitoring of Wi–Fi signals accessible from outside the four walls of a business, surveillance
and the implications for digital privacy continue to exponentially increase. Beginning with an

beneficial to define some of main term. Privacy is the right to be left alone and free from

to determine when and to what extent information about oneself can be communicated to others.

If the doctor has to refer his patient to a specialized doctor, instead of sending a written letter, he
does it through the web, to expedite the process. Doctor can possibly use the web to clarify and
reveal accurate information to his patient. But, with all this comes patient privacy and security; if
everything is available on the web, then pretty much any individual has access to it that is why it is
important to properly secure and protect all of the information, so it does not get in the wrong hand.
Properly maintaining and securing patient record is required by law. If it is not done correctly, or
information gets leaked, organization might get fined and/or suspended until they fix the problem.
Also if patient records have been broken into, or any information has been stolen, organization
supposed to report it right away.
Criminal justice – People get arrested every day, whether it is a small or big crime, it always stays
on the system. Unless you are part of the law enforcement or a potential employer who is trying to
hire a brand new employer, you do not need to know if the person has any prior record. There are
caveats like: if you are child molester then you should be registered as an offender, so people in the

This paper will explore the freedom of information and privacy as it relates to social media postings
with a particular look at Facebook (FB) and the issues that surround this social media giant. Social
media in general and FB specifically have become an avenue to share ones thoughts and ideas, as
well as daily events and plans much like people did years ago by using a diary. However, unlike
notes in a diary, posts on FB may be seen by the masses. Today's online posts can have serious

was memorialized after the events took place, and then later shared only with a select few, today's

We will look at how FB discloses records in accordance of applicable law, including the federal
Stored Communications Act, and what type of data is retained and available when requested by
authorities. In addition, we will examine how both local and federal law enforcement agencies
monitor and use FB to solve and prevent crimes and will examine what type of information law
enforcement, or others, can gain, from a person's FB activity.
Additionally, we will look to see if FB protects its users privacy and we will look at the impact that
these issues have on anyone with a stake in this subject and what the ramifications would be if there
were a change in policy. Stakeholders on this issue are many and varied; from everyday social
media users to FB employees and stockholders to law enforcement and government officials to
prospective employers and employees.

Privacy In The Information Age
The Information Age has dawned upon us. Our generation was born into an era where an
unbelievable amount of relevant knowledge is presented to us with minimal effort, but like most
life–changing advancements, it does not come without drawbacks. The internet is an almost
completely unregulated information–based society. A Mecca of easily accessible information, but
also a place for hackers, data thieves, and internet–trolls to prosper. So as we are thriving in this
world of digital data, we are also generating an information trail as we shop online, interact through
social media, and store our information to cloud–based services. However, many consumers,
although concerned about privacy invasions, simply accept the loss of their privacy as a
consequence of the Information Age and are not willing to give up the benefits and conveniences in
which information technology has provided them. Recently, with the government intervening
through proposed laws such as CISPA and Americans becoming more cautious, the issue of
compromised data and digital privacy is rapidly coming to the fore. What is the big problem with
creating a safe browsing environment?, one might wonder when discussing the internet. Simply

To get a better understanding of information security and privacy in accordance with HIPAA, we
need to look at a simple definition explaining the difference. Security is the ability to control access
and protect information/data from accidental or intentional discourses to unauthorized persons

controls. Privacy is the controlling of who is authorized to access patient information/data and under

Information Privacy With the increase of use of electronics sharing of health information and
improved communication within healthcare team, privacy in healthcare has become an important
aspect of nursing. Privacy in healthcare addresses the question of who has access to personal
information and under what conditions. In healthcare, privacy is concerned with the collection,
storage, and use of personal information. It is every practicing nurse's responsibility to keep up to

Approximately 6 in 10 individuals disapproved of the governments collection of U.S. citizens phone
records however around 75 of those polled agreed it was admissible to track the phone records of
citizens suspected of terrorist activity. In a poll conducted in April, shortly after the Boston
Marathon bombings, results showed only 20 of individuals believed the government had exceeded
the balance of intrusion and privacy, with 26 saying they hadnt done enough to maintain national
security, and approximately 44 saying their was an adequate balance. Furthermore, approximately 6
in 10 individuals were not particularly concerned with government collection of their phone records
and internet monitoring, with the other 4 being somewhat or very concerned (Kopicki). The results
from these polls suggest American opinion on the matter is correlated more to occurrence of
perceived terrorist threats, less so than concerns of personal privacy there is a new attitudinal

The Importance Of Information Privacy
Our research rests upon two pillars. The first one is related to how we conceptualize the privacy
concept and the other is the model proposed by Miltgen and Reyrat–Guillard (2014). In our
research, we focus on information privacy, which can be categorized as a sub–construct of the
general privacy construct (Smith et. al., 2011). More specifically, we define information privacy as
factual privacy, which deals with issues about the access, collection, dissemination and use of
personal factual information within the context of online social network sites (Zhang et. al., 2011).
Our second pillar is the Miltgen and Peyrat–Guillard model (Miltgen and Peyrat–Guillard, 2014).
This model is developed based on a qualitative research, which uses 14 focus groups from 7 EU
countries. The authors study how citizens in E.U. countries decide to disclose and protect their
personal information.
The key conclusion of this study is that an E.U. citizen's national culture and age influence both the
information privacy concerns and behaviors such as disclosure and protection strategies. The
authors note that younger individuals have a more positive attitude towards data management, feel
more responsible and capable to prevent personal information misuse when compared to older
individuals. They further emphasize that younger generation may have relatively lower information
privacy concerns, and this may be related to deploying greater amount of data protection strategies.

Information Privacy And The Protection Of Information
Introduction
According to (Whitman  Mattord 2014) Information Security can be defined as the protection of
information and its characteristics which are confidentiality, integrity and availability, and all the
systems and hardware that use, store and transmit information. Information systems and the
information thereof are protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification
or destruction (Andress 2014) and this can be achieved through the application of policy, training
and awareness.
Information privacy otherwise known as data privacy or data protection deals with the collection,
use and disclosure of personal information (Solove et al. 2006). And from a medical perspective,
(Security 2009) clearly defines information privacy as a person's right to keep his/her health
information from been disclosed without authorization. This definition can also be applicable to
any organization that deals with personal information. To ensure that organizations are privacy
compliant, principles such as the Information Privacy Principles (IPP) coiled from the Information
Privacy Act 2009 place strict obligation on organizations on the collection, storage, usage and
disclosure of personal information. Under these principles, in collecting personal information, an
agency must only by lawful means and directly from an individual request only the personal
information for purposes directly related to the function of that agency. In securely storing of

Identifying contemporary privacy issues
Internet Search Engines: Search engines such as Google are the most popular search engines utilized
by Internet users. The topic to be deliberated on is that just because I place some personal
information on my website, should everyone in the whole wide world be allowed to see it? The
search engines use advanced searching algorithms to retrieve all possible relevant information based
on just a few keywords entered as the search parameters. They are capable of displaying phone
numbers, residential addresses, Email ids and even pictures of a person just by entering his/her
name. Isn't this considered, to a certain extent, a violation of privacy? Does this mean that I should
not place any personal information on the Internet? And what is stopping miscreants from misusing
this information, for example, for identity theft or stalking? The only solution is to protect this
information by firewalls, encryption or by password protected access.

The dangers associated with disclosing a patient's privacy include the following;
In the first case it discourages a patient from giving accurate information to the doctors due to the
fear of it leaking to a third party (Barrett g, Cassell). Through this, doctors may not be able to write
clear information on what a person suffers from. A patient may also be prescribed to the long.
The advantages of maintaining a patient's privacy include the following;
When the information of a patient is not disclosed, patients mind are always at ease. They are not
tensed about their level of confidentiality with their doctor's breached (Mazor, Simon 2004).
Secondly it increases the level of satisfaction in a patient and also the sense of dignity. Through this
he/she is able to trust the medical team and can reveal more about the sickness / ailment without
hiding sensitive and critical information.

TREATING INFORMATION PRIVACY DEFICIENCIES IN CYBERSPACE
Introduction
Scholars are divided on the fundamental question of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC)
adjudicative capacity under the FTC Act. The FTC uses a reasonableness standard and considers
each company's data security practices on a case–by–case basis. For more than a decade, the FTC's
enforcement of data security actions invoked under §5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC
Act) resulted in consent decrees and settlements, subsequently scrutinized by practitioners as
carrying as much precedential value as judicial opinions.
In 2015, the Third Circuit Court Appeals' decision in Wyndham reinforced the FTC's authority to
pursue enforcement actions against companies that do not have reasonable data security practices.
Notwithstanding a motion to dismiss arguing that, inter alia, (1) the FTC lacks authority to regulate
under §5 of the FTC Act and (2) the FTC failed to provide fair notice and of what constitutes
reasonable data security standards and (3) §5 does not govern the security of payment card data;
Wyndham marked the first time federal courts held that the FTC has authority under §5 of the FTC
Act to enforce data security practices.
Equipped with Wyndham, the FTC's guidelines in providing information about what acts constitutes
unfair or deceptive practices carry more precedential force than ever before. Essentially, the Circuit
Court of Appeals' holding in Wyndham affirms the FTC's discretion to

The National Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (also updated in 2014) deals with the

personal details are recorded, these dairies are never to be left anywhere where they can be accessed
by the public or, other employees who do not need access. Most manual diaries are kept at the front
desk or with the receptionist of a business and are locked away at the close of business.
Storage of finalised appointment schedules is also of highest priority, whether electronic, or manual.

The right to collect information should be limited to specific government programs concerning
national security for the reason that public safety is primary, and all resources to ensure it must be
utilized, but only under a valid, legal process since privacy is also a right that has to be respected.
As a matter of fact, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure the safety of its citizens. In
order to live with tranquility and achieve peace, security is a main point to consider. Living in a
place where citizens are not sure of what to expect every day they go out to the streets, drive, take a
bus, go to their jobs, schools, leave their children or any kind of activity/ is something that would
definitely diminish their life quality. As an illustration the terrorist attack of the United States of
America on September 11 must be remembered, where thousands of innocent citizens died, and fear
was caused through all the country. There have been other attacks, affecting always innocent
citizens, like the bombs in the Boston Marathon, or the murders in schools. Threat to national
security will always be present, and for that reason the government must take action into necessary
security measures to protect the society the much as possible. As Jean Bethke Elshtain says, The

The Security And Privacy Of Health Information
Introduction
Privacy of health information has become an area of emphasis across the healthcare industry. It is
important to understand what data is protected under federal regulations, how it can be shared, and
how to prevent any accidental exposure of protected data. It is possible that data that should be
protected can be exposed without anyone even realizing a violation has occurred. Exposure of
protected healthcare data can result in medical identity theft and is therefore a very important and
hot topic. The security and privacy of healthcare data is necessary to ensure consumer confidence in
the healthcare industry and to prevent medical identity theft.
Background
Protected health information (PHI) is information in a medical record or set of medical data that can
be used to identify an individual and was created during the normal healthcare process (1). Medical
identity theft is the use of PHI to obtain medical care, drugs, or submit claims to insurance in
another person's name (2). To help prevent medical identity theft, the Health Insurance Portability 
Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed in 1996 with the purpose of directing how patient is used
and can be made available. HIPAA is typically divided into 2 rules: the privacy rule and the security
rule. The Privacy rule establishes the standards to protect individual healthcare data and applies to

  • 1. The Debatable Issue of Information Privacy on the Internet Information privacy debate – A2069336 Is the information on internet private? Do employers have a right to access employee information on social media? Why or Why not? Information on the internet is there for public scrutiny. Take for instance some of the information that is posted on ones social networking site's profile like work and education, place of residence, relationship and family, contact information, birthday, sex, and relationship status. These pieces of information can be easily accessed by your friends and friend's friends. Besides much information can be found on people when googled. Employers do have a right to access employee information on social media. The information obtained from this media can be used in hiring and retention decisions. Social media contains a lot of publicly available information that can be used to evaluate current and potential employers. To guard against lawsuits that relate to negligent hiring and retention it is only practical that employers scrutinize whoever they want to employ using social media (Elzweig & Peeples, 2009). However, care has to be taken to guard against liability for invading privacy of their current or potential employees. Many social networking sites have privacy settings that only allow your friends or friend's friends to access information about you. With default privacy settings, everybody, including potential employers, is capable of getting crucial information on their would–be employees and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Security policies protect from external threats and reduce internal risks (SANS, 2015). The three security policies that I would recommend to an organization are the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), the Disposal and Destruction Policy and the Firewall Policy. The Acceptable Use Policy is a document that contains restrictions for access to corporate network or the Internet. It shows the proper usage of company's resources and specifies the consequences for unacceptable actions. The AUP defines how to use company's network and what activities are allowed when working with company's equipment. A member of an organization is allowed to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The most important and significant challenge in the big data is to preserve privacy information of the customers, employees, and the organizations. It is very sensitive and includes conceptual, technical as well as legal significance. Any collected information about a person, when combined with other sets of data, can lead to the finding of persons secret and private information. " As big data expands the sources of data it can use, the trustworthiness of each data source needs to be verified, and techniques should be explored to identify maliciously inserted data" (Jaseena K.U.

Big data gives us a significant opportunity in the field of national security, a breakthrough of diseases, medical researchers, marketing and business analysis, urban planning, and so on.

  • 13. The Impact Of Internet On Information Privacy The internet has revolutionised humankind. It has allowed a level of communication that had never been experienced previously. The hosting and transfer of data (with its subsequent change into information after human interpretation), and the ability to do so from any device with an internet connection has altered almost every facet of human life. According to Antoun Nabhan, we "no longer 'use' (the internet) as much as we 'live' in it". However, the emergence of the internet has also brought unforeseen complications. One major complication is the changes it has wrought upon information privacy. This paper will examine the role the internet has played in regards to information privacy, and the impact these changes have had on society at large. The term 'information privacy' is a complicated concept that has a variety of meanings. Roger Clarke asserts that it is "the interest an individual has in controlling, or at least, significantly influencing, the handling of data about themselves." Techopedia's definition of information privacy is "the privacy of personal information and usually relates to personal data stored on computer systems." The Australian Law Reform Commission states that it "involves the establishment of rules governing the collection and handling of personal data." As well as this, information privacy has also been classified as "data privacy" and "data protection", often with the three terms being used interchangeably. What all these definitions have in ...

Now, to actually use one of these apps, all you have to do is make sure your recipient has the same app, and send them a message. It is literally that easy. A lot of the steps of encryption use in these apps are taken care of by the apps themselves. To truly understand how this works, let us explore end–to–end encryption. As previously mentioned, end–to–end encryption is a form of encryption in which only the endpoints of communication can read a message because the parties at both endpoints know the encryption key for messages. To establish this line of communication, systems that use end–to–end encryption use a form of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) that is used for making and sharing a pre– shared secret. PGP can be explained through an analogy that treats the pre–shared secret as cookies, so imagine you are trying to send someone a box of some amazing cookies. You only want your recipient to get these cookies, so you go out to buy a safe and a key, called key A, to said safe. Your receiver has a private key, let us call this key B, of their own that can open any lock that matches to that key, so you get a small box that can be opened by key B to put key A in. Now for your friend to receive the cookies, send them the safe and the small box. When your friend receives this, they should recognize that key B can open the smaller box with key A inside. Now that they have key A, they can open the safe and start to enjoy some delicious cookies. This is essentially the step of ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This information is used by banks, investment and brokerage companies, credit card merchants, government agencies (local, state and federal), and consumer product–based companies. Most people probably don't realize the amount of information that's shared between companies, or how often it's done. Many companies sell and share customer data to help sell products and find out what new products they should produce.

On the other hand, there's company B, who doesn't have any formal security policy. They're willing to send your data to anyone who hands them a check, and don't even tell you what data was sent and to whom. Often, the only way people find out is when they discover fraudulent charges on their credit cards, mysterious access to their bank accounts, or people obtaining loans and other items in their name. I feel that companies have a moral and ethical responsibility to ensure to protect our data from being compromised, but also to inform us who they're sharing this information with and how it will be used, in addition to making sure that it's not used for any other purpose. Different types of data that are commonly shared I personally find the amount of information presently available to be somewhat staggering, if not downright scary.

Analysis and Insights On The Value of Digital Privacy In the Information Technology Age Introduction The need for ensuring the security of nations and enterprises on the one hand and the need for protecting the privacy of individuals on the other, are creating a myriad of conflicts regarding ethics, laws and personal rights. Never before in the history of modern society has there been such a strong emphasis on capturing, analyzing, categorizing and using personal data that had been highly protected in the past for purposes of securing nations (Ottensmeyer, Heroux, 1991). Correspondingly, there has never been a time when every aspect of life in an organization is monitored, from personal computer and telephone use to the use of personal Wi–Fi and networking devices (Riedy, Wen, 2010). The first section of this analysis is to analyze three technologies that allow individuals to research other citizens' data and also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches to public access of information. The strategies or steps that citizens can do to protect their confidential information is also discussed as is the Federal law that enables the U.S. Government to gain legal right to make private information public.

These factors are a volatile catalyst that continues to change the ethical, legal and personal landscape rights of digital privacy in the information technology age. The depth and pace of change that is occurring in the areas of capturing, aggregating, analyzing and using personal data is unprecedented and will continued to escalate as new risks emerge (Ottensmeyer, Heroux, 1991). In conjunction with these volatile catalysts of change, there has never been an era where every aspect of activity in a company or enterprise is monitored (Riedy, Wen, 2010).

Properly maintaining and securing patient record is required by law. If it is not done correctly, or information gets leaked, organization might get fined and/or suspended until they fix the problem. Also if patient records have been broken into, or any information has been stolen, organization supposed to report it right away.

Our generation was born into an era where an unbelievable amount of relevant knowledge is presented to us with minimal effort, but like most life–changing advancements, it does not come without drawbacks.

Furthermore, approximately 6 in 10 individuals were not particularly concerned with government collection of their phone records and internet monitoring, with the other 4 being somewhat or very concerned (Kopicki).

  • 31. The Importance Of Information Privacy Our research rests upon two pillars. The first one is related to how we conceptualize the privacy concept and the other is the model proposed by Miltgen and Reyrat–Guillard (2014). In our research, we focus on information privacy, which can be categorized as a sub–construct of the general privacy construct (Smith et. al., 2011). More specifically, we define information privacy as factual privacy, which deals with issues about the access, collection, dissemination and use of personal factual information within the context of online social network sites (Zhang et. al., 2011). Our second pillar is the Miltgen and Peyrat–Guillard model (Miltgen and Peyrat–Guillard, 2014). This model is developed based on a qualitative research, which uses 14 focus groups from 7 EU countries. The authors study how citizens in E.U. countries decide to disclose and protect their personal information. The key conclusion of this study is that an E.U. citizen's national culture and age influence both the information privacy concerns and behaviors such as disclosure and protection strategies. The authors note that younger individuals have a more positive attitude towards data management, feel more responsible and capable to prevent personal information misuse when compared to older individuals.

Information Privacy And The Protection Of Information Introduction According to (Whitman Mattord 2014) Information Security can be defined as the protection of information and its characteristics which are confidentiality, integrity and availability, and all the systems and hardware that use, store and transmit information. Information systems and the information thereof are protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification or destruction (Andress 2014) and this can be achieved through the application of policy, training and awareness. Information privacy otherwise known as data privacy or data protection deals with the collection, use and disclosure of personal information (Solove et al. 2006). And from a medical perspective, (Security 2009) clearly defines information privacy as a person's right to keep his/her health information from been disclosed without authorization. This definition can also be applicable to any organization that deals with personal information. To ensure that organizations are privacy compliant, principles such as the Information Privacy Principles (IPP) coiled from the Information Privacy Act 2009 place strict obligation on organizations on the collection, storage, usage and disclosure of personal information.

TREATING INFORMATION PRIVACY DEFICIENCIES IN CYBERSPACE Introduction Scholars are divided on the fundamental question of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) adjudicative capacity under the FTC Act. The FTC uses a reasonableness standard and considers each company's data security practices on a case–by–case basis. For more than a decade, the FTC's enforcement of data security actions invoked under §5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act) resulted in consent decrees and settlements, subsequently scrutinized by practitioners as carrying as much precedential value as judicial opinions. In 2015, the Third Circuit Court Appeals' decision in Wyndham reinforced the FTC's authority to pursue enforcement actions against companies that do not have reasonable data security practices. Notwithstanding a motion to dismiss arguing that, inter alia, (1) the FTC lacks authority to regulate under §5 of the FTC Act and (2) the FTC failed to provide fair notice and of what constitutes reasonable data security standards and (3) §5 does not govern the security of payment card data; Wyndham marked the first time federal courts held that the FTC has authority under §5 of the FTC Act to enforce data security practices.
