  1. Workplace privacy

    Employees typically must relinquish some of their privacy while at the workplace , but how much they must do so can be a contentious issue. The debate rages on as to whether it is moral, ethical and legal for employers to monitor the actions of their employees. Employers believe that monitoring is necessary both to discourage illicit activity and to limit liability. Although, with this problem of monitoring of employees, many are experiencing a negative effect on emotional and physical stress including fatigue and lack of motivation within the workplace. Employers might choose to monitor employees activities using surveillance cameras , or may wish to record employees activities while using company owned computers or telephones. Courts are finding that disputes between workplace privacy and freedom are being complicated with the advancement of technology as traditional rules that govern areas of privacy law are debatable and becoming less important. ref http computer.howstuffworks.com workplace surveillance.htm Howstuffworks How Workplace Surveillance Works Bot generated title ref ref http www.usatoday.com tech columnist 2001 10 18 sinrod.htm Electronic surveillance in the workplace Bot generated title ref Europe The Directive 95 46 EC on the protection of personal data EU Directive 95 46 EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data limits and regulates the collection of personal information on individuals, including workers.

  1. Privacy protocol

    Orphan date February 2009 Refimprove date March 2011 Privacy protocols are Guideline guildline s intended to allow computation while still protecting the individuals involved. It can be developed from just two individuals trying to discover if they both know the same secret, without leaking information about the secret itself. In this case, after the protocol runs, both individuals will either know that they share the secret, or know that they do not share it they will have gained no additional information about the other s secret. Examples of privacy protocols For example, say the secret is a name of a person. One protocol is to use a random phone number, such as 555 111 2222, then replace the last n digits of the phone number with the secret such as 555 111 JOHN. Then the first person calls the number and leaves a message with the person on the other end for the second person. Next the second person calls the number of their secret and asks if there are any messages for him. One issue with this protocol is that the phone number created might not exist. Another protocol without this issue is to designate an airline, destination and date, and have the first person make a reservation using the name of their secret, then the second person goes and cancels the reservation using the name of their secret. If the second person is not successful, then they don t share the secret. A simple protocol that does not rely on a human third party involves password changing. This works anywhere one has to type in new passwords the same twice before the password is changed. The first individual will type their secret in the first box, and the second person will type their secret in the second box, if the password is successfully changed then the secret is shared.
