1 – The “privacy versus security” fallacy
I’d like to start by quoting two remarks that were made at the recent WSIS Forum in Geneva on a similar panel to this one. The first is, in turn, a quotation from Joe Alhadeff of Oracle Corp., who said:
“It’s not enough to balance privacy against security: you have to optimise for both”.
The second is from Audrey Plonk of Intel Corp.:
“Privacy and security are mutually reinforcing, not mutually exclusive. In line with the principle of data minimisation, data controllers should ask what is the minimum data necessary to meet a given security objective.”
