Medlemsmøte: Er personvern på Internett mulig? Privatliv på et overvåket nett
Snowdens avsløringer har synliggjort hva myndigheter mener er nødvendig for å sikre borgerne. Hvordan bør balansen være mellom personvernet og myndighetenes mulighet for å oppdage og etterforske kriminell aktivitet? ISOC Norge har invitert til en dialog om samfunnet vårt, rettstaten, Internett og hvordan vi opplever at disse påvirker hverandre.

Internet Technical Advisory Committee Applauds Revised OECD Privacy Guidelines
[Paris – 10 September 2013] — Yesterday, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) formally launched the adoption of the revised Guidelines on the Protection of Privacy and Transborder Flows of Personal Data. The Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) to the OECD congratulates the OECD on this announcement, which marks the next evolution of a document that has been an internationally-recognised foundation for privacy regulation for more than 30 years.
This announcement is the culmination of considerable work by OECD members and the Working Party on Information Security and Privacy (WPISP) Privacy Volunteer Group to review the Privacy Guidelines in light of unprecedented change in the use of personal data in the past 30 years. Their work will help ensure that the privacy principles that have guided the development of national laws around the world remain relevant and effective for the future.
ITAC welcomes the introduction of more detailed guidance on the accountability principle for data controllers. The revised Privacy Guidelines also update the principles to promote more effective international cooperation and privacy enforcement in a highly interconnected environment. ITAC extends its appreciation to Jennifer Stoddart, Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the Chair of the WPISP Privacy Volunteer Group, as well as the OECD Secretariat for their diligent leadership of this work.
The OECD Privacy Guidelines have served as a consistent reference for those seeking to develop and update privacy regulations. The technology-neutral character of the guidelines has stood the test of time in the rapidly evolving social and technical landscape.
Privacy on the Internet is a key priority for ITAC members. The group works at the intersection of policy and technology, collaborating across communities to encourage the development of privacy standards, both legal and technical, that are openly developed, transparent, globally-interoperable, and user-centric.
“OASIS is pleased to have been involved in the Internet industry’s advisory review of the update of this key global statement of privacy principles,” said Laurent Liscia, CEO and Executive Director of OASIS. “Privacy is an inalienable right, but our values are engaged in a constant game of “catch-up” with new products, services and risks. Now privacy can be baked in, by design, to technical solutions, using methods which increasingly are supplied by open global ICT standards.”
“The Internet Society welcomed the opportunity to be part of this endeavour through its participation in ITAC,” added Lucy Lynch, ISOC Trust and Identity Initiatives. “Recent headlines on government Internet surveillance programs have sparked great controversy on the privacy of online user data. The OECD Privacy Guidelines represent international consensus, through a multistakeholder approach, on the collection and management of personal information, and this updated document is essential in providing guidance to governments, businesses and other organizations.”
About ITAC
The Internet Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) to the OECD brings together the counsel and technical expertise of technically focused organizations, in a decentralized networked approach to policy formulation for the Internet economy.
ITAC primarily contributes to the work of the OECD Committee for Information, Computer and Communications Policy (ICCP) and its specific working parties such as the Working Party on Communications and Infrastructure Services Policy (CISP), the Working Party on Information Economy (WPIE) and the Working Party on Information Security and Privacy (WPISP).

Internet Society Responds to Reports of the U.S. Government’s Circumvention of Encryption Technology
The Internet Society is alarmed by continuing reports alleging systematic United States government efforts to circumvent Internet security mechanisms. The Internet Society President and CEO, Lynn St. Amour, said, “If true, these reports describe government programmes that undermine the technical foundations of the Internet and are a fundamental threat to the Internet’s economic, innovative, and social potential. Any systematic, state-level attack on Internet security and privacy is a rejection of the global, collaborative fabric that has enabled the Internet’s growth to extend beyond the interests of any one country.”
The Internet Society believes that global interoperability and openness of the Internet are pre-requisites for confidence in online interaction, they unlock the Internet as a forum for economic and social progress, and they are founded on basic assumptions of trust. We are deeply concerned that these principles are being eroded and that users’ legitimate expectations of online security are being treated with contempt.
As the institutional home of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), we believe that open and transparent processes are essential for security standardization, and result in better outcomes than any alternative approach. For example, protocols developed by the IETF are open for all to see, inspect, and verify, as are the open and inclusive processes by which they are specified.
IETF Chairman Jari Arkko has strongly reiterated the IETF’s commitment to improving security in the Internet, and to seeking ways of improving security protocols in light of these new revelations and security threats. “The IETF has a long-standing commitment to openness and transparency in developing security protocols for the Internet, and sees this as critical to confidence in their use and implementation.” To read more, visit: http://www.ietf.org/blog/2013/09/security-and-pervasive-monitoring/.
However, the open development of robust technical specifications is just one link in the chain. Security standards must be properly implemented and used. This is a wake-up call for technology developers and adopters alike, to reexamine what we can do to ensure that all links in the chain are equally strong. This is key to helping restore public trust and confidence in the Internet.
The Internet has tremendous potential for economic and social good, but unless all stakeholders trust the Internet as a safe place for business, social interaction, academic enquiry, and self-expression, those economic and social benefits are put at risk. To fulfill its potential, the Internet must be underpinned by the right combination of technology, operational processes, legislation, policy, and governance. The recent reports suggest that U.S. Government programmes have systematically undermined some or all of those measures, and that is why we view the revelations with such grave concern.
With this mind, we issue these calls to action for the global community:
- To every citizen of the Internet: let your government representatives know that, even in matters of national security, you expect privacy, rule of law, and due process in any handling of your data.
Security is a collective responsibility that involves multiple stakeholders. In this regard, we call on:
- Those involved in technology research and development: use the openness of standards processes like the IETF to challenge assumptions about security specifications.
- Those who implement the technology and standards for Internet security: uphold that responsibility in your work, and be mindful of the damage caused by loss of trust.
- Those who develop products and services that depend on a trusted Internet: secure your own services, and be intolerant of insecurity in the infrastructure on which you depend.
- To every Internet user: ensure you are well informed about good practice in online security, and act on that information. Take responsibility for your own security.
At the Internet Society, we remain committed to advancing work in areas such as browser security, privacy settings, and digital footprint awareness in order to help users understand and manage their privacy and security. The citizens of the Internet deserve a global and open platform for communication built on solid foundations of security and privacy.
