Privacy in a World of Ubiquitous Computing

Keywords: public policy issues, data protection, privacy enhancing technologies

The ubiquitous processing of personal data will not only provoke new possibilities for the misuse of such data, but also put into question the basic principles of data protection law. It thus causes both a shortfall in the execution of legal requirements and a fundamental challenge for the concept of data protection law. However, the social communication of this new world has still to rest upon informational self-determination, which in turn necessitates fundamentally modified protection instruments of data protection law to measure up to the revolutionary power of ubiquitous computing.
