Group: Hilbert's Problems |
At the 1900 International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris, the mathematician
David Hilbert presented a list of 23 problems for study in the twentieth century
that later guided much of the mathematical research that followed. Our purpose
is to adopt a similar goal for privacy; to provide a set of definitions, goals,
and long term problems that will form a basis for ongoing research on the problems
in privacy.
As a basis for discussion:
- How does one define "privacy"?
- What are the consequences of privacy?
- What are the limitations of privacy?
- Who are the beneficiaries of privacy?
- What are the measures of privacy?
- What are the most likely solutions to privacy?
As a starting point, consider one proposed definition:
"Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world."
