Privacy by Design and Privacy Enhancing Technologies
Greater use of information technology does not necessarily mean less privacy. For example, modern information and communications technologies allow certain interactions to occur at a distance. Whereas face-to-face transactions might entail the disclosure of identity, some online interactions can occur anonymously. Also, while it may be hard to keep track of improper disclosures of information stored in paper records, automated systems can have built-in audit trails that will detect unauthorized access. Indeed, technologies can be designed and implemented in ways that enhance privacy. There is growing interest in Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), a spectrum of both new and well-known techniques to minimize the exposure of the private data of users of electronic services in the information society.
