Abstract

You can’t talk about security without also talking about privacy. The two are inextricably linked. At a basic level, security enables privacy—for example, strong encryption helps us keep our data private. But privacy is fundamentally separate from security and is important in its own right. And unlike with security, we are often at odds with companies and government agencies when it comes to privacy. For this reason and others, I feel that privacy is the most important topic of this book. In this chapter, I’ll explain why.

Fußnoten

Many people in the United States believe that the right to privacy is enshrined in the Constitution. It’s not. The word “privacy” doesn’t appear anywhere in that text, including the 27 Amendments. Is it implied? Legal scholars believe so, yes. But it’s not explicitly codified.
