Privacy, Security, and Access to Rights: A Technical and Policy Analyses
Privacy and security are often presented as zero-sum outcomes with respect to issues affecting Internet governance. This dichotomous treatment often results in policy outcomes that directly limit access and rights. The meanings of privacy and security, however, are not used uniformly and often vary with the regards to the issue at hand (i.e. financial crimes, copyright enforcement) as well as cultural and political context.
This workshop aims to explore the nuances in the relationship between privacy and security through a series of technical demonstrations alongside policy analyses from different regions to determine how rights and access can be best protected.
The Workshop Agenda is as follows:
- Introduction - Workshop Agenda, Issues, and Panelists (5 minutes)
- Regional Perspectives - Cultural and Policy Understandings of Privacy and Security, and the implications for access and rights (20 min)
- Technical Perspectives - Designing privacy and security through technology (20 min)
- Policy Opportunities and Challenges (10 min)
- Question and Answer (30 min)
