The Architecture of Privacy : On Engineering Technologies That Can Deliver Trustworthy Safeguards

Technology’s influence on privacy not only concerns consumers, political leaders, and advocacy groups, but also the software architects who design new products. In this practical guide, experts in data analytics, software engineering, security, and privacy policy describe how software teams can make privacy-protective features a core part of product functionality, rather than add them late in the development process. Ideal for software engineers new to privacy, this book helps you examine privacy-protective information management architectures and their foundational components—building blocks that you can combine in many ways. Policymakers, academics, students, and advocates unfamiliar with the technical terrain will learn how these tools can help drive policies to maximize privacy protection. Restrict access to data through a variety of application-level controls Use security architectures to avoid creating a single point of trust in your systems Explore federated architectures that let users retrieve and view data without compromising data security Maintain and analyze audit logs as part of comprehensive system oversight Examine case studies to learn how these building blocks help solve real problems Understand the role and responsibilities of a Privacy Engineer for maintaining your privacy architecture Technologys influence on privacy has become a matter of everyday concern for millions of people, from software architects designing new products to political leaders and consumer groups. This book explores the issue from the perspective of technology itself: how privacy-protective features can become a core part of product functionality, rather than added on late in the development process. The Architecture of Privacy will not only help empower software engineers, but also show policymakers, academics, and advocates that, through an arsenal of technical tools, engineers can form the building blocks of nuanced policies that maximize privacy protection and utilitya menu of what to demand in new technology. Topics include: - How technology and privacy policy interact and influence one another - Privacy concerns about government and corporate data collection practices - Approaches to federated systems as a component of privacy-protecting architecture - Alternative approaches to compartmentalized access to data - Methods to limit the amount of data revealed in searches, sidestepping all-or-nothing choices - Techniques for data purging and responsible data retention - Keeping and analyzing audit logs as part of a program of comprehensive system oversight - Security architecture that includes separation of roles and minimum access to data, while avoiding a single point of trust - Forecast of likely developments, and recommendations on how to address or alter them La 4e de couverture indique : "Technology's influence on privacy not only concerns consumers, political leaders, and advocacy groups, but also the software architects who design new products.
