<br>This book offers an analysis of privacy impacts resulting from and
<br>reinforced by technology and discusses fundamental risks and challenges
<br>of protecting privacy in the digital age.
<br>Privacy is among the most endangered "species" in our networked society:
<br>personal information is processed for various purposes beyond our
<br>control. Ultimately, this affects the natural interplay between privacy,
<br>personal identity and identification. This book investigates that
<br>interplay from a systemic, socio-technical perspective by combining
<br>research from the social and computer sciences. It sheds light on the
<br>basic functions of privacy, their relation to identity, and how they
<br>alter with digital identification practices. The analysis reveals a
<br>general privacy control dilemma of (digital) identification shaped by
<br>several interrelated socio-political, economic and technical factors.
<br>Uncontrolled increases in the identification modalities inherent to
<br>digital technology reinforce this dilemma and benefit surveillance
<br>practices, thereby complicating the detection of privacy risks and the
<br>creation of appropriate safeguards. Easing this problem requires a novel
<br>approach to privacy impact assessment (PIA), and this book proposes an
<br>alternative PIA framework which, at its core, comprises a basic typology
<br>of (personally and technically) identifiable information. This approach
<br>contributes to the theoretical and practical understanding of privacy
<br>impacts and thus, to the development of more effective protection standards.
<br>This book will be of much interest to students and scholars of critical
<br>security studies, surveillance studies, computer and information
<br>science, science and technology studies, and politics.
