| Summary |
"In Privacy on the Line, Whitfield Diffie and Susan Landau strip away the hype surrounding the policy debate over privacy to examine the national-security, law-enforcement, commercial, and civil-liberties issues. They discuss the social function of privacy, how it underlies a democratic society, and what happens when it is lost. This updated and expanded edition revises their original - and prescient - discussions of policy and technology in light of recent controversies over NSA spying and other government threats to communications privacy."--BOOK JACKET |
