Chapter Five: The San Bernardino Iphone Case, Tracy Mitrano Oct 2016

Chapter Five: The San Bernardino Iphone Case, Tracy Mitrano

Tracy Mitrano

The San Bernardino iPhone case burst on the scene as I was nearing the completion of this manuscript. I could not have imagined a better scenario to sum up the issues of free speech, privacy, intellectual property and security than this case. Not least because the San Bernardino Apple iPhone case generated considerable public interest and policy debate in the United States and abroad. At stake are issues such as the balance between national security and personal privacy, tensions between global technology companies and domestic law enforcement, and the potential supremacy of technology -- particularly encryption -- over traditional notions …

Chapter Two: Privacy, Tracy Mitrano

Tracy Mitrano

"Free speech" and "privacy" operate as integral, essential supporting values that underpin the missions of colleges and universities in the United States. Chapter One focused attention on free speech. Many of the same arguments could be made by and for privacy. It would be interesting to subject the same content about free speech to a global "find and replace" function for the applicable legal and policy points between them! Nonetheless, US law separates these two areas. Therefore, this chapter will focus on privacy law in particular: government surveillance and consumer privacy. Both subsets of privacy law, I will argue, have …


In-The-Wild Residual Data Research And Privacy, William B. Glisson, Tim Storer, Andrew Blyth, George Grispos, Matt Campbell Jan 2016

In-The-Wild Residual Data Research And Privacy, William B. Glisson, Tim Storer, Andrew Blyth, George Grispos, Matt Campbell

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law

As the world becomes increasingly dependent on technology, researchers in both industry and academia endeavor to understand how technology is used, the impact it has on everyday life, the artifact life-cycle and overall integrations of digital information. In doing so, researchers are increasingly gathering 'real-world' or 'in-the-wild' residual data, obtained from a variety of sources, without the explicit consent of the original owners. This data gathering raises significant concerns regarding privacy, ethics and legislation, as well as practical considerations concerning investigator training, data storage, overall security and data disposal. This research surveys recent studies of residual data gathered in-the-wild and …


Privacy And Accountability In Black-Box Medicine, Roger Allan Ford, W. Nicholson Price Ii Jan 2016

Privacy And Accountability In Black-Box Medicine, Roger Allan Ford, W. Nicholson Price Ii

Law Faculty Scholarship

Black-box medicine—the use of big data and sophisticated machine learning techniques for health-care applications—could be the future of personalized medicine. Black-box medicine promises to make it easier to diagnose rare diseases and conditions, identify the most promising treatments, and allocate scarce resources among different patients. But to succeed, it must overcome two separate, but related, problems: patient privacy and algorithmic accountability. Privacy is a problem because researchers need access to huge amounts of patient health information to generate useful medical predictions. And accountability is a problem because black-box algorithms must be verified by outsiders to ensure they are accurate and …
