Privacy and data protection are recognized as fundamental human rights. Recent developments, however, indicate that security issues are used to undermine these fundamental rights. As new technologies effectively facilitate collection, storage, processing and combination of personal data government agencies take advantage for their own purposes. Increasingly, and for other reasons, the business sector threatens the privacy of citizens as well. The contributions to this book explore the different aspects of the relationship between technology and privacy. The emergence of new technologies threaten increasingly privacy and/or data protection; however, little is known about the potential of these technologies that call for innovative and prospective analysis, or even new conceptual frameworks. Technology and privacy are two intertwined notions that must be jointly analyzed and faced. Technology is a social practice that embodies the capacity of societies to transform themselves by creating the possibility to generate and manipulate not only physical objects, but also symbols, cultural forms and social relations. In turn, privacy describes a vital and complex aspect of these social relations. Thus technology influences people’s understanding of privacy, and people’s understanding of privacy is a key factor in defining the direction of technological development. This book was originally published as a special issue of Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research.

This book contains selected papers presented at the 15th IFIP WG 9.2, 9.6/11.7, 11.6/SIG 9.2.2 International Summer School on Privacy and Identity Management, held in Maribor, Slovenia, in September 2020.* The 13 full papers included in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 21 submissions. Also included is a summary paper of a tutorial. As in previous years, one of the goals of the IFIP Summer School was to encourage the publication of thorough research papers by students and emerging scholars. The papers combine interdisciplinary approaches to bring together a host of perspectives, such as technical, legal, regulatory, socio-economic, social or societal, political, ethical, anthropological, philosophical, or psychological perspectives. *The summer school was held virtually.

Privacy and Identity Management. Data for Better Living: AI and Privacy

Privatheit ist eine wichtige Grundlage für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben. In einer immer stärker vernetzten digitalen Welt ist sie von vielen Seiten bedroht. Die Beiträge des Buches untersuchen aktuelle Herausforderungen für Privatheit und Datenschutz aus multidisziplinärer Perspektive. Thematisiert wird dabei u.a., welche Rolle Privatheit in der Gesellschaft einnimmt, wie Bürger diese heute verstehen und wie sie mit den zunehmenden Angriffen darauf umgehen. Darüber hinaus befassen sich die Beiträge mit der europäischen Datenschutzpolitik und neuen Regelungsformen für einen wirksameren Datenschutz.

Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven auf aktuelle Herausforderungen des Datenschutzes

Privatheit und selbstbestimmtes Leben in der digitalen Welt

Alexander Roßnagel

Jörn Lamla

Die Autoren des Buches untersuchen die historische und sachliche Bedingtheit des Konzepts der informationellen Selbstbestimmung, das zum Zweck des Persönlichkeitsschutzes in der modernen Datenverarbeitung zu einer Zeit und für Umstände entwickelt wurde, die inzwischen längst überholt sind. Thematisiert werden seine auch in absehbarer Zukunft erhaltenswerten Kernaussagen sowie die Änderungen, die in seinem Verständnis und seinen Umsetzungen notwendig sind, um die Ziele der informationellen Selbstbestimmung in einer veränderten digitalen Welt zu erreichen.

Informationelle Selbstbestimmung im digitalen Wandel

Marit Hansen

Der Datenschutz ist nicht ausreichend auf die Herausforderungen moderner Informationstechnik mit Ubiquitous Computing, Big Data, künstlicher Intelligenz und lernenden Systemen eingestellt. Dies gilt auch für die Datenschutz‐Grundverordnung. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes untersuchen die Anforderungen des digitalen Wandels an Konzepte, Instrumente und Institutionen des Datenschutzes; sie erörtern Lösungen für bisher ungeregelte Datenschutzprobleme, entwerfen Konzepte für einen modernen Grundrechts- und Datenschutz und entwickeln Modelle für eine Evolution des Datenschutzes in der künftigen digitalen Welt.

This volume examines the relationship between privacy, surveillance and security, and the alleged privacy–security trade-off, focusing on the citizen’s perspective. Recent revelations of mass surveillance programmes clearly demonstrate the ever-increasing capabilities of surveillance technologies. The lack of serious reactions to these activities shows that the political will to implement them appears to be an unbroken trend. The resulting move into a surveillance society is, however, contested for many reasons. Are the resulting infringements of privacy and other human rights compatible with democratic societies? Is security necessarily depending on surveillance? Are there alternative ways to frame security? Is it possible to gain in security by giving up civil liberties, or is it even necessary to do so, and do citizens adopt this trade-off? This volume contributes to a better and deeper understanding of the relation between privacy, surveillance and security, comprising in-depth investigations and studies of the common narrative that more security can only come at the expense of sacrifice of privacy. The book combines theoretical research with a wide range of empirical studies focusing on the citizen’s perspective. It presents empirical research exploring factors and criteria relevant for the assessment of surveillance technologies. The book also deals with the governance of surveillance technologies. New approaches and instruments for the regulation of security technologies and measures are presented, and recommendations for security policies in line with ethics and fundamental rights are discussed. This book will be of much interest to students of surveillance studies, critical security studies, intelligence studies, EU politics and IR in general.

Citizens’ Perspectives

Surveillance, Privacy and Security

Digitale Daten gelten sowohl als Quelle für Wirtschaftswachstum, Innovation und Arbeitsplätze wie auch als Treiber der datenbasierten Reorganisation praktisch aller gesellschaftlichen Bereiche („Datafizierung“). Die datenökonomisch befeuerten Transformationsprozesse des Sozialen werfen dementsprechend vielfältige Fragen auf: Welche Daten sollen von wem wie verwertbar sein? Wie lässt sich legitime Verfügungsmacht gestalten? Usw. Der Band behandelt diese Fragen aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive.

It aims to warn policy-makers, industry, academia, civil society organisations, the media and the public about the threats and vulnerabilities facing our privacy, identity, trust, security and inclusion in the rapidly approaching world of ambient intelligence (AmI). In the near future, every manufactured product – our clothes, money, appliances, the paint on our walls, the carpets on our floors, our cars, everything – will be embedded with intelligence, networks of tiny sensors and actuators, which some have termed “smart dust”. The AmI world is not far off. We already have surveillance systems, biometrics, personal communicators, machine learning and more. AmI will provide personalised services – and know more about us – on a scale dwarfing anything hitherto available. In the AmI vision, ubiquitous computing, communications and interfaces converge and adapt to the user. AmI promises greater user-friendliness in an environment capable of recognising and responding to the presence of different individuals in a seamless, unobtrusive and often invisible way. While most stakeholders paint the promise of AmI in sunny colours, there is a dark side to AmI. This book aims to illustrate the threats and vulnerabilities by means of four “dark scenarios”. The authors set out a structured methodology for analysing the four scenarios, and then identify safeguards to counter the foreseen threats and vulnerabilities. They make recommendations to policy-makers and other stakeholders about what they can do to maximise the benefits from ambient intelligence and minimise the negative consequences.
