The Provacy/Security Tradeoff

From IRF Wiki

The IT & Security discussion confirmed the impossibility of complete security. To allow access to information is a threat to security, but with out access, the information is useless. To ensure security a system must, in essence, know who it is talking to. But tracking information about individuals is a threat to privacy.

• This tradeoff is usually made in an environment in which people are willing to give up some privacy to obtain some level of security.
• What can we say about how these tradeoffs are constructed?
• How can the consumer be involved earlier in the design phase?
• Should this discussion be in the chapter instead of this conclusion?
