CONSTRUCTING PRIVACY - FROM PROTOCOLS TO INTERFACE
The foundations for privacy need to be built into every technology from the outset, from the most basic of protocols to the interface. How can we put privacy first as a top priority element in computer design?

3:15 - 4:45 pm
IS 1984 HISTORY?
Public awareness of privacy dangers has moved beyond the "I-have-nothing-to-hide" stage to real concern. Is this concern strong enough to counter the data-gathering momentum or have we already reached a point of no return?
