Privacy in the Information Age by Fred H. Cate Electronic information networks offer extraordinary advantages to business, government, and individuals in terms of power, capacity, speed, accessibility, and cost. But these same capabilities present substantial privacy issues. Fred Cate addresses these critical issues in the context of computerized information. He provides an overview of the technologies that are provoking the current privacy debate and discusses the range of legal issues that these technologies raise. He examines the central elements that make up the definition of privacy and the values served, and liabilities incurred, by each of those components.
Separate chapters address the regulation of privacy in Europe and the United States.
The final chapter identifies four sets of principles for protecting information privacy. Click on the book jacket for more information, or here to order.
