Abstract

The full paper contains positions from the various authors, but does not contain an abstract. The essense of my (Martin Olivier's) position is therefore summarised here:

A human being's personal privacy refers to his/her ability to limit collection and use of his/her personal information. Where such limitations cannot be determined by the individual, suitable mechanisms have to exist to ensure that collection and use will be adequately limited. While a significant amount of work has been done about what constitutes adequate limitations (see below), hardly any work has been done on suitable (technical) mechanisms to provide any guarantees about such limitations.

It is the contention of this author that such mechanisms are not only required, but that it is also technically feasible to develop them.
