The digital age can be described as a collection of different technological solutions as virtual environments, digital services, intelligent applications, machine learning, and knowledge-based systems, used to determine the specific characteristics of contemporary world globalization, e-communications, information sharing, virtualization, etc.
However, there are many opportunities in the technologies of the digital age to violate some basic principles of information security and privacy by unregulated access to information and personal data, stored in different nodes of the global network. This Seminar aims to determine some special features of information and personal data protection and to summarize the main challenges of the digital age for the user’s security and privacy.
The current focus on the right to privacy is based on some new realities of the digital age. Personal spaces and safeties that were previously granted simply by physical separation are no longer protected. The digital network enters the most proximate spaces and challenges the normally accepted notions of the private.
It brings into focus new means of exercising social, economic, and political power, and reducing autonomies. Moreover, this seminar provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the field of right to privacy.
