Secure Application Development

Privacy

Learning objectives

  • Understanding the technological impact of legal requirements concerning the handling of personal information
  • Becoming familiar with standard conceptual tools to improve privacy in computer and security systems

Overview

Handling personal data is part of day to day business, but losing them, disclosing them or not maintaining them up to date, exposes an enterprise to serious legal as well as reputation risks. This lecture presents an overview of what is personally identifiable information, and the principles by which the law and society at large expects it to be handled. The impact of these principles on technology is illustrated through real-world system designs, that support privacy, and the presentation of privacy features in established security protocols such as SSL and TLS.
