"Identity in the Information Society: Security, Privacy, the Future"
Information Systems Group, Department of Management, London School of
Economics and Political Science 19th and 20th of March 2007.
Identity is a key issue for business and government today.
Private and public sector are both developing technologies that track
physical persons, their movements, financial transactions, health.
In the name of security citizens are being asked to accept from the
state intrusions on their privacy undreamt of just a few years ago,
while the marketing strategies of corporate enterprise rely on powerful
profiling that leaves millions of consumers with nowhere to hide.
Is there a correct balance between security and privacy? Can
technological intrusion into personal spheres be sustained in a
democratic society? What does the future hold for identity?
This workshop offers an opportunity to engage with leading researchers
and professionals in the identity, security and privacy area, to be
informed of developments and to debate these contemporary issues.
Speakers include:
Bruce Schneier, Counterpane Internet Security Brian Collins, Cranfield
University Ruth Halperin and James Backhouse, LSE
Mireille Hilderbrandt, Free University, Brussels
Terri Dowty, Action on Rights for Children Simon Davies and Gus Hosein,
LSE
A specially convened panel will debate the dilemmas and controversies
arising over the future of Identity in the Information Society.
