Public Talk by Dr. Ian Brown on Privacy, Trust and Biometrics: by Nishant Shah — published Mar 20, 2011 — last modified Apr 04, 2011 07:15 AM — filed under: Lecture, Internet Governance
Trust is hard to build, but easy to lose. What factors affect individuals' trust in new technologies? How can governments create citizen trust in biometric security tools? Can biometrics be designed to be privacy-friendly? And how did these questions lead to the cancellation of the UK's national identity scheme, after a decade of development costing tens of millions of pounds? About the speaker: Dr Ian Brown's research is focused on public policy issues around information and the Internet, particularly privacy and copyright. He also works in the more technical fields of communications security and healthcare informatics.
