SPECIAL ISSUE ON Privacy and Security Issues in IT International Journal of Information Technologies and the Systems Approach (IJITSA)

Guest Editors: Dr. Vasilis Katos Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Dr. Frank Stowell, University of Portsmouth, England and

INTRODUCTION: The topic of this special issue is motivated by the ease of collection, processing and dissemination of personal data and the concern about the unintended use or misuse of these data. Monitoring technologies are a fundamental component in IS security that serve as a policy violation detection mechanism but the expanding scope of ICT now means that it is not just the client that is affected but often the wider community e.g. CCTV monitoring as what may have been designed for specific end-users now impacts itself upon the majority. Monitoring has turned into systematic surveillance of emails, telephone usage and through CCTV general citizen activities. In a society where privacy is a fundamental human right the antagonism between privacy and security is a research issue of significance IS researchers as IS itself constitutes the means for feeding such antagonism between security and the privacy of the individual. This special issue invites a range of topics related to Privacy and the associated security issues created by the technology.

OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: To obtain a view of the issues underpinning the design and development of systems capable of balancing the privacy needs of the stakeholders against information security controls through a widely accepted use and application of the underlying technologies.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS: Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:

?Privacy preservation technologies for the citizen ?Methodologies for analysing privacy requirements of an Information System ?Protection of biometric data ?Analysis and development of a systems view of security and its impact upon individual privacy ?The Economics of security and privacy ?The behavioural impact of monitoring and surveillance technologies ?Opportunities and threats in emerging applications utilizing personal data ?Privacy-centric systems
