Reject the 'you can have security or privacy - choose one' mythology. It was created by national security extremists to get control of the agenda. There are multiple alternative scope definitions, from data, via the organisation, external users, industry sectors, nations and society, up to the biosphere. All are legitimate. (If defined sensibly, and kept under democratic control, 'national security' included). All have to be traded off against one another. All powers and rights have to be subject to controls. That applies to the security interests of individuals. And it applies even more so to the interests of the very powerful, including and especially intel agencies. http://www.rogerclarke.com/SOS/OECDS-1311.html http://www.rogerclarke.com/EC/WS-1301.html If the question is 'how do privacy and *data* security overlap?', then the way I've always put it is that 'data security is about 1/12th of privacy'. That's intentionally glib (for radio and TV, and attention-grabbing). It's justifiable on the basis that 'data security' is covered by just one of the c. 12 Principles that make up data privacy protection. -- Roger Clarke http://www.rogerclarke.com/ Xamax Consultancy Pty Ltd 78 Sidaway St, Chapman ACT 2611 AUSTRALIA Tel: +61 2 6288 6916 http://about.me/roger.clarke mailto:roger.cla...@xamax.com.au http://www.xamax.com.au/ Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Law University of N.S.W.
