Rethinking Public Key Infrastructures and Digital Certificates: Building in Privacy

. MIT Press, Cambridge-London, 1 edition, (August 2000)

Abstract

Paper-based communication and transaction mechanisms are being replaced by electronic mechanisms at a breath-taking pace. On the one hand, this transition improves security and efficiency, and opens up a mind-boggling range of new opportunities. On the other, it greatly increases the scope for identity fraud and erodes privacy in a manner unimaginable just a couple of decades ago. If the prevailing ideas about how to secure the global information highway are left unchallenged, then it will not take long before everyone is forced to communicate and transact in what will be the most pervasive electronic surveillance tool ever built.
