- What are the different varieties of privacy? (To be addressed soon in a meeting on Topics in Differential Privacy, see calendar).

DV: In the digital age, criminals and terrorists take full advantage of the secrecy provided by the Internet, encrypted communications over mobile and fixed devices and Internet services such as Tor to conduct crime. Each of us runs the risk of becoming a victim of fraud, extortion or worse because of this situation. There are examples of crime every day, such as the theft of financial data, that have a direct impact on both consumers and business. Law enforcement must have a way to do what it has always done, that is to track criminals and prevent or prosecute crime. With the development of global terrorism and especially the ‘lone wolf’ terrorist, this requirement is even more important. Hacking Team has helped fight crime by providing a surveillance tool to law enforcement. The company believes this is a small step toward a more secure world for all who wish to used the Internet and digital tools lawfully.
