"Uniform Resource Locators "point" to a specific section of information, usually a web page, at a particular machine, whereas telephone numbers reference only the machine corresponding the the number, not any particular information. Law enforcement agents can visit the URL's and recall the information that the subject viewed, but they cannot dial a telephone number and hear the suspect's discussion (Electronic Privacy Information Center). In some instances, URL's even reveal the information given by a subject."

Abstract
This paper considers the issue of privacy in Canada and the United States today, noting that privacy is seen as threatened in the developing computer age as it never has been before. In the past most records were on paper and could be protected by being locked in a cabinet, but today that is no longer an option as more and more records are in electronic form and more and more people are performing transactions on the Internet and putting private information out to the world.

Abstract
In this Information Age, information is business. As mechanisms for information retrieval, computers erode an individual's right to privacy. The paper shows that if the information gained by other parties is misused, we can become financially and psychologically vulnerable. The paper questions whether we can prevent the unauthorized access to our personal information, or whether we should even be concerned about it.
From the Paper
"Cookies contain a variety of information, including the name of the website that issued them, passwords, and user names. They also can contain credit card numbers. Cookies are supposedly only retrievable by the site that issues them, and usually financial information (e.g., credit card numbers) is transmitted over secure networks. But how secure is secure? Computer hackers who can break into company files or bank records could almost certainly tap into a secure network and retrieve personal and financial information by decoding the encrypted information. Should we really worry though about the slight chance of this happening?"

From the Paper
"Visualize a world without cars, a world without telephones, and a world without television. Without these technologies we, as a society, would be almost paralyzed. We would have difficulty to move, difficulty to communicate, and difficulty to get information. It is thus apparent how fundamental technology is to the survival of our civilization. Technology is an integral part of our society. It is in the movies we watch. It is in the food we eat. It is all over the world that we live in. It encompasses everything that forms our lives. Technology is important because of the basic fact that it brings about tremendous benefits to mankind. Thus, with all these conveniences and advantages that technology brings to us it is difficult to imagine a world without it."

Abstract
This paper examines not only the data protection instruments but also encompasses various breaches, recognitions and provisions for the interests of national security that over-weighs/surpass dangers to individual privacy in information technology. Chapter 2 deals with the erosion of privacy rights due to Sept 11, and amounts to probably the most significant issue in recent history, as information privacy rights have been recognized for controlling the dissemination and use of data. Chapter 3 has a comprehensive analysis that everyone has the right to be protected under the law and no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence. Chapter 4 studies means of private communications without the consent of the sender or receiver and deals with breaches of privacy. Chapter 5 reviews data protection instruments in EU and non-EU horizons. Chapter 6 elucidates shocking revelations against terror and a flurry of virus activity resulting in personal data of Arab males being made available to the police to protect data against the war on terrorism. Chapter 7 states the balance between privacy and security risks and suggests that privacy-invasive measures adopted have not been as effective in enhancing security as originally intended. Hence they should not be construed as rivals but rather two sides of the same coin. In Chapter 8, systematic surveillance of the citizen in both the physical and virtual worlds after September 11, 2001 is discussed in detail. In Chapter 9, the war on terrorism by the United States and its allies as well as the discussion and measures about the ways in which the world has changed is dealt with. Chapter 10 details the cooperation and mutual assistance in EU-US law enforcement, namely human trafficking, immigration, and refugees, visas, biometrics and passports, etc.
Chapter 11 addresses security concerns raised in the aftermath of the September 11 attack and interrelated issues involving the movement of people, security at the border and in the skies and various security models/gadgets as well. Chapter 12 gives details of how and why a fund was created for the compensation of victims of Sept 11. Chapter 13, last but not least, wraps up various issues discussed earlier and answers unanswered questions from the introduction.

From the Paper
"Privacy rights have always been something of a stepchild in the family of constitutional rights. Although interpreted by the courts to be one of our fundamental rights, it is not mentioned by name anywhere in the Constitution or its amendments because it is a passive right. Felt only when absent, it tends to get less attention. This is why it became the first constitutional right in the post-September 11 execution line. Whatever the case, we should all be concerned that what has happened to privacy can also happen to other rights. There is always tension in the system, but it was designed that way, and generally we do a good job of balancing the desires of the state with the liberties of the people."

From the Paper
"According to World Internet Link (2001) ?Internet Portals are among the hottest Internet trends of the day.? Client Help Desk (2002) describes an Internet portal as ?a Web site which offers a great amount of content and services, either on many subjects or on a specific subject.? Major Internet portals, a further development of search-engines, include AltaVista, Excite, Lycos and Yahoo. Problems arise because of privacy concerns as some users don?t want to provide personal information and credit card details to an Internet portal and/or e-commerce company. The personalisation of Internet portals is possible via a cookie. Originally designed for consumer convenience, the cookie is an important tool to personalise and customise an Internet portal. Initially, portals offered only search tools but are now more personalised, enabling users to customise them by initiating their own start-up page containing their individual content, layout and colour. Furthermore portals started selling products too."

From the Paper
" The issue of privacy in the computer age is a many-faceted problem and the complexities have been perceived and have made it evident that legislation is required to control and direct the development of databases and their use in order to protect individual rights. One of the issues of concern is that of privacy rights and how they may conflict in an age when masses of information on the individual is stored in computers of many different types and for many different purposes, with the potential that this information could be misused, released to non-authorized parties, or linked together to produce profiles of the individual that could then be misused or otherwise made into a violation of the individual's privacy rights."

From the Paper
"We can see the Internet as a tool for communicating information, just as television, newspapers and other media are. The difference with the Internet is that the information published is not as well controlled.
With television and newspapers, controls are in place to determine what will be communicated. It is generally not possible for a person to publish information without it being verified in some way. However, with the Internet, a person can publish and communicate messages to people from all over the world with no requirement to have checks on the information.
Essentially, the Internet allows anyone to say anything, and to say that anything to a lot of people. This leads to the Internet being capable of being used as a tool to defame others."

Security Versus Privacy, 2007.
A discussion on security versus privacy in the national security debate.
2,306 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer proposes that there is an erroneous assumption that the transformation of free societies into police states will ensure security from external and internal threats. The paper examines how the recent revelation, that President Bush told the NSA to start monitoring all international communications of people with terrorist links, is just one of the latest battles in the effort to balance security and privacy. The paper concludes that any proposal that is made in the name of national security should be carefully evaluated in terms of its actual, net effects.
From the Paper
"This ruling has not stopped the executive branch via the intelligence community to continue to attempt to use national security as an excuse to undermine privacy rights. For instance, on December 13, 2004, President Bush signed into law the Intelligence Authorization Act, which grants unprecedented power to the FBI to access private records without a court order (Swartz, 2004). This expansion of power has proceeded despite the fact that similar measures were struck down as part of the revised Patriot Act. The American people seem willing to accept greater and greater intrusions into their privacy."

Abstract
This paper explains that the key Internet issues of Internet security and privacy arise because of the anonymous nature of the Web. The author points out that cookies are nothing but small pieces of data that are stored on the hard disk of the user and are used primarily for storing the settings for the Web pages as per the user?s interest. The paper stresses that children are more prone to let out their personal information when they surf the Net and can accidentally come across offensive Web pages with vulgar, pornographic contents.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Man-In-Middle Attack is another form of information abuse in which a third party intercepts information flow between two computers and alters the data. Typically, this attack is carried out by mocking a well-known website. A practical example of this type of ?spoofing? was the 1999 incident when a website spoofed as Bloomberg News service, posted information that ?Pairgain?, a telecommunication company was being taken over by an Israeli firm. This falsified information posted on the counterfeit website sent the stock trading up by 30% and the trading volume grew by 7 times its usual. However when the hoax came to light the stock prices plummeted down resulting in huge losses to investors who bought the shares at inflated prices. This example highlights the serious consequences of internet crime."

The Patriot Act
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Computer Security has long been a concern for the society in which we live. Businesses, education systems, and governmental agencies all rely on computers for day-to-day operations (Bielski, 2005). Indeed as a society we are extremely dependent upon information technology as it relates to the economy, our defenses and our government. Although these technologies assist in ensuring that many functions in our nation run smoothly, these technologies also make the country more vulnerable. The technology that is available to us today through networks and the internet has made the economy and the society extremely global."

"Introduction
From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from unauthorized removal. This research examines various threats facing society from inadequate computer security, and ways in which..."

From the Paper
"There is a rising trend for organizations to consider computer security more seriously than they have done in the past. As a result, organizations have begun to integrate computer security into their Information Resource Plans. The increased attention to computer security is not without substantial purpose. The United States Department of Justice reports that, over the past decade, the use of computers and advanced communication techniques for business and industrial purposes has radically altered the traditional means by which business is conducted. These changes have led to the creation of an environment in which white-collar abuse of fiscal trust and responsibility can result in unusually large losses to both organizations, their clients, and individual ...
