Solutions for new trade-off model privacy-security
Current trends in nanotechnology, ICT, privacy and security Interview with Dr Silvia Venier (Centre for Science, Society and Citizenship, Rome, Italy) Ineke Malsch, postbus@malsch.demon.nl Interview 15-07-10, publication date 16-07-2010 Abstract Dr Silvia Venier is responsible for four ongoing European projects related to ICT, privacy and security: HIDE on Homeland Security, Biometric Identification and Personal Detection Ethics, RISE on Rising Pan-European and International Awareness of Biometrics and Security Ethics, PRESCIENT on Privacy and Emerging Fields of Science and Technology and BEST, the EC Thematic Network on Biometrics. She has a background in political science. Under the header of Nanotechnology, ICT, privacy and security, ObservatoryNano aims to highlight technological and economic trends in nanotechnology for ICT and security applications with potential ethical and social implications. Simultaneously, current debates on relevant privacy and other ethical issues among ethicists and social scientists, policy making circles and stakeholders are analysed and confronted with the issues emerging from the technical and economic trends. This way, emerging issues not discussed sufficiently can be identified and brought to the attention of policy makers in the third annual report on nanotechnology, ICT, privacy and security to be published online in the spring of 2011. The series of interviews with opinion leaders is intended to be a compilation of different views on the relevant issues currently in debate from the perspective of a social scientist or ethicist, a natural scientist, and stakeholders from industry and civil society.
