Meanwhile, governments and businesses collect our data and use it to monitor us without our knowledge. So we have resigned ourselves to the belief that privacy is hard--choosing to believe that websites do not share our information, for example, and declaring that we have nothing to hide anyway. In this informative and illuminating book, a computer privacy and security expert argues that privacy is not that hard if we build it into the design of systems from the start.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, Jaap-Henk Hoepman debunks eight persistent myths surrounding computer privacy. The website that claims it doesn't collect personal data, for example; Hoepman explains that most data is personal, capturing location, preferences, and other information. You don't have anything to hide? There's nothing wrong with wanting to keep personal information--even if it's not incriminating or embarrassing--private. Hoepman shows that just as technology can be used to invade our privacy, it can be used to protect it, when we apply privacy by design. Hoepman suggests technical fixes, discussing pseudonyms, leaky design, encryption, metadata, and the benefits of keeping your data local (on your own device only), and outlines privacy design strategies that system designers can apply now.Preface ix\u003cbr\u003e1 We Are Not Collecting Personal Data 3\u003cbr\u003e2 You Have Zero Privacy Anyway--Get Over It 31\u003cbr\u003e3 I've Got Nothing to Hide 69\u003cbr\u003e4 It's Merely Metadata 99\u003cbr\u003e5 We Always Need to Know Who You Are 127\u003cbr\u003e6 Your Data is Safe with Us 157\u003cbr\u003e7 Privacy and Security are a Zero-Sum Game 177\u003cbr\u003e8 Privacy is Hard 189\u003cbr\u003e9 Busted: Privacy isn't Hard if You Try 213\u003cbr\u003eGlossary 217\u003cbr\u003eNotes 221\u003cbr\u003eIndex 249Jaap-Henk Hoepman is Associate Professor at the Institute for Computing and Information Sciences of the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands, where he is also a member of iHub, an interdisciplinary research hub on security, privacy, and data governance.
