Information Security Symposium

Symposium Registration

Information Privacy, Security and Forensics in the Digital Age

Hosted by Aberystwyth University and the National Library Wales 

Date: 6th September 2012
Venue:  National Library Wales, Aberystwyth 

Discourse on the public and private spheres in the digital age has aroused much critical commentary and has occasioned a revisioning of the meaning of public and private in the realm of information. Developments in on-line communication and commerce have popularised this debate and the question of what information is, or should be, public and private, is one which reflects the complexity and interconnectivity of personal and public personas.

In exploring the perceived potential for transparency and accountability, finding the balance between consumerism and control, collaboration and cyber security, and in developing communities of trust whilst being mindful of compliance and continuous enforcement is a challenge which benefits from interdisciplinary approaches. This symposium explores the boundaries of public and private in the digital ecology and includes contributions from a diverse range of fields:  forensics, security, law, information and archival science, and social and mobile media.  

There has been unprecedented activity in this area in the second decade of this millennium, culminating in a proclamation by the United Nations on access to the Internet as a human right, the deliberations of the Leveson Enquiry regarding press standards and surveillance culture and EU e-privacy and data protection reform, to name a few.

Themes for the day include:

• Privacy, social media and the public diary
• Heritage collections as public / private spaces
• Social justice and information rights
• Legal issues surrounding the patrolling of public and private boundaries
• Cyber security, Cloud Forensics and big data
• The registration fee for this event is £35. The deadline for registrations is 30^th August 2012
