CFP2009: Internet Security vs. Privacy

Last week, Safe Internet attended multiple panels at the Computers Freedom & Privacy Conference 2009 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.  The first discussion we listened to was “The Future of Security vs. Privacy” which had quite a diverse representation on the panel:

  • Stewart Baker, former Assistant Secretary for policy, DHS and former General Counsel, NSA
  • Jim Harper, Director of Information and Policy, CATO Institute
  • Valerie Caproni, General Counsel, FBI
  • Bruce Schneier, Chief Security Technology Officer of BT
  • Ryan Singel (Moderator) Wired.com

Each panelist held their own unique viewpoint about the topic, and we’re curious which one do you agree with? Leave your vote in the comments section!

A)  Stewart Baker: One day all of our network and cyberactivity could be used against us; there really is no privacy anymore.

B)  Jim Harper: Internet security is two-pronged: actual security and the feeling of security; we have actual security, but have not achieved the feeling of security yet.

C)  Valerie Caproni: To achieve internet security, it is essential to strike a balance between security and privacy, without one infringing on either.

D)  Bruce Schneier: To achieve internet security, it is essential to strike a balance between liberty and privacy – identity security does affect privacy, but identity isn’t required for security.
