What do we mean by privacy?• Louis Brandeis (1890)– “right to be left alone”– protection from institutional threat:
government, press
• Alan Westin (1967)– “right to control, edit, manage, and
delete information about themselves and decide when, how, and to what extent information is communicated to others”
Privacy vs. security
• Security helps enforce privacy policies• Can be at odds with each other– e.g., invasive screening to make us
more “secure” against terrorism
Privacy: what information goes where?
Security: protection against unauthorized access
Privacy-sensitive information
• Identity– name, address, SSN
• Location• Activity– web history, contact history, online purchases
• Health records• …and more

anything?
