Year: 2012
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The rapid progression towards digital government has improved the access of citizens to services. Indeed, it is enabling government to be more effective, transparent, and accessible. However, the increasing access to digital data raises new concerns about privacy, security, and freedom of information, which have not been considered in the past. This tutorial will give an overview of privacy in the context of digital government. We will examine some of the potential concerns and causes of privacy breaches, the existing laws regarding privacy, as well as some of the technological solutions and potential challenges in deploying them.
