Securing Privacy in the Internet Age
by Jeremy at 11:40 pm EST, Mar 25, 2004

As individuals do more -- shopping, talking, working -- on-line, they leave private information behind in databases stored on Internet-connected servers. Companies store proprietary data on networked servers connected to the Internet. Computer security experts struggle to develop technology and best practices to protect this information from unauthorized intruders or inadvertent leaks.

Are private initiatives sufficient to protect private and confidential information, or should the law allocate the responsibility of keeping the server secure, and if so, on whom?

And will the imposition of this legal and economic burden impede further exponential advances like those the computer industry has made in the past decade?

This symposium was held on March 13 at Stanford Law School. Participants included Michael Froomkin, Pamela Samuelson, and many others at the intersection of new technologies, intellectual property, and law.
