This project addresses the question: What privacy rules should bind private corporations? It does so through a collaboration between a legal scholar knowledgeable about computer science issues and a computer scientist knowledgeable about legal and policy issues. The common themes runningthrough the research are the current lack of agreed social norms concerning privacy, the interplay between computer security and privacy concerns, and the economic motivations that often are an important part of understanding various agents? actions. The goal is to contribute to the development of social norms concerning privacy that will simultaneously shape and inform both the development of appropriate technologies and appropriate business practices and laws. The interdisciplinary approach is essential to achieving this goal; it is also surprisingly unusual: There are remarkably few interdisciplinary examinations of privacy that effectively combine legal and computer science expertise. This project is a step toward remedying this lack. Together, the four aims address the immediate, serious, and unmet need for an approach to information privacy that is at once technically and legally sophisticated. The research will simultaneously shape and inform both the development of appropriate technologies and appropriate laws.

该项目解决了以下问题：哪些隐私规则应约束私营公司？它是通过了解计算机科学问题的法律学者和了解法律和政策问题的计算机科学家之间的合作来实现的。研究贯穿始终的共同主题是，目前缺乏关于隐私的商定社会规范、计算机安全和隐私问题之间的相互作用，以及通常是理解各种主体的重要组成部分的经济动机？行动。目标是促进有关隐私的社会规范的发展，这些规范将同时塑造和指导适当技术和适当商业实践和法律的发展。跨学科方法对于实现这一目标至关重要；这也是令人惊讶的不寻常之处：有效结合法律和计算机科学专业知识的隐私跨学科检查非常少。该项目是弥补这一缺陷的一步。 这四个目标共同解决了对信息隐私方法的迫切、严重和未满足的需求，这种方法在技术和法律上都非常复杂。 该研究将同时塑造并指导适当技术和适当法律的发展。
