SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Privacy and Identity in a Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:\nVideo Archive\nTo see the archived video of the event\, 
 see http://archive.zepler.tv/275/\n\nPerhaps the key issue in the onli
 ne era of the Connected World in which we live is that of identity. Pu
 blic concern over identity theft and privacy is already high\, and can
  only grow as we become more engaged online. What happens as we move f
 orward and make medical records fully electronic for example? How shou
 ld governments plan to provide public services securely? Even if we cu
 t out the regular loss of electronic records from laptops or CDs left 
 on trains or lost in transit\, how will governments keep our records s
 afe? Should we link tax\, driving\, medical\, benefits\, and other per
 sonal records to be accessible in one place for ease of citizen use\, 
 or does that introduce an unacceptable systemic weakness? And how do w
 e know that information about us kept by commercial organisations is s
 afe and not available to be abused? Today we have the Data Protection 
 Act to protect us\, but is it adequate? What should the rules be about
  availability and use of private records? What should be covered by pr
 ivacy laws and what is fair game to be sold on and used for (say) mark
 eting? What is privacy anyway\, and are we entitled to it? If we put i
 nformation about ourselves online (for example on Facebook\, or even o
 n an email)\, can we reasonably expect it to stay private? And can IT 
 security keep pace with both technological change and the best efforts
  of increasingly sophisticated online criminals?\n&nbsp\;\nPanelists:\
