Chapter 39 Privacy (E-Snooping) and Security in the New
Economy Privacy – the control over one’s personal data – and security – the attempted access to data by unauthorized others – are two critical concerns in the New Economy. Consumers are concerned about their personal data leaking unexpectedly or uncontrollably, and e-commerce sites fear the financial losses associated with bad publicity, unauthorized access, and break-ins. This chapter discusses the business, social, and economic issues surrounding both privacy and security. This chapter also surveys the technologies that can be incorporated or have been proposed for both.
