University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory
SECURITY SEMINAR SERIES
SPEAKER: Alastair Kelman, LSE
DATE: Tuesday 8th February at 4.15pm
PLACE: Room TP4, Computer Laboratory
TITLE: THE SHADOW OF YOUR SOUL
The term `data shadow' covers the concept that combining different
types of records (toll records, credit records, bank records, health
records etc) can elicit additional information, a data shadow, which
can track the life of an individual. Now in 2030 our society is
managed in every aspect by shadow watching - said to be `the most
significant tool for the maintenance of law and order by the European
army and for the selling of Government services' (Prime Minister Sir
Chris Evans Guildhall speech - January 2029 ).
Alistair Kelman explains how this power (and threat to freedom) came
into existence from the beginnings of e-commerce at the turn of the
21st century through the deployment of biometrics under `joined up
government'.
