摘要“隐私即机密性”一直是计算机科学隐私研究的主导范式。隐私增强技术(PETS)保证个人数据或匿名通信的机密性,就是由这样的研究产生的。这篇论文的目的是表明,这样的宠物是不可或缺的,但缺乏他们有时声称被赋予的当今环境下的隐私解决方案。利用监控研究的观点,我们将认为计算机科学家通过数据或通信保密来实现隐私的概念是以技术为中心的,并取代了监控社会中最终用户的观点和需求。我们将进一步表明,来自监视研究的观点也需要对其以人为中心的信息系统概念进行批判性审查。最后,我们重新思考了宠物在监控社会中的地位,并论证了在信息系统设计中解决隐私问题的多种范例的必要性。
Abstract“Privacy as confidentiality” has been the dominant paradigm in computer science privacy research. Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) that guarantee confidentiality of personal data or anonymous communication have resulted from such research. The objective of this paper is to show that such PETs are indispensable but are short of being the privacy solutions they sometimes claim to be given current day circumstances. Using perspectives from surveillance studies we will argue that the computer scientists’ conception of privacy through data or communication confidentiality is techno-centric and displaces end-user perspectives and needs in surveillance societies. We will further show that the perspectives from surveillance studies also demand a critical review for their human-centric conception of information systems. Last, we rethink the position of PETs in a surveillance society and argue for the necessity of multiple paradigms for addressing privacy concerns in information systems design.
