************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** Balancing Data Needs And Privacy The debate between privacy and security has received more attention since the announcement of the Defense Department's Total Information Awareness (TIA) project. The announcement has also fueled research into data privacy technology, used to search databases for suspicious patterns while protecting the identities of people whose records rest in the databases. Such research is underway at the Palo Alto Research Center under a $3.5 million grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Critics question the ability of the Defense Department to fund privacy research under the same projects as a surveillance network, and fear that such funding is only a public relations cover for the surveillance network. However, Teresa Lunt, a computer security expert on the PARC research team, points out that many DARPA projects have had more civilian applications than military. Such technology can also be used in medical research, providing doctors with valuable data, while! protecting patient privacy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A25316-2003May7.html EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND <http://www.edu-cyberpg.com> +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ GET YOU FREE EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Directory/default.asp GET PREMIUM EDUCATON VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING GET FEATURED MERCHANT VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<> EDUCATIONAL CYBERPLAYGROUND http://www.edu-cyberpg.com VENDORS REACH THE EDUCATION MARKET FREE EDUCATION VENDOR DIRECTORY LISTING Find PREMIUM & FEATURED MERCHANT LISTING ALSO http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Directory/default.asp HOT LIST OF SCHOOLS ONLINE http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Schools/default.asp SERVICES http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/PS/Home_Products.html Net Happenings,K12 Newsletters, Network Newsletters, New-list http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Community/index.html <>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>~~~~~<>
