p. 363-366 notes

When Security Threatens Privacy:

*Active badges can simultaneously improve security and threaten privacy by:
*Identifying who enters a door or logs onto a machine
*Finding an employee’s current or earlier location
*Remembering: At the end of the day, an active-badge wearer can get a minute-by-minute printout listing exactly where and with whom he or she has been.

Rules of Safe Computing :

*Share with care.
*Beware of BBS risks.
*Don’t pirate software.
*Disinfect regularly.
*Treat diskettes with care.
*Take your password seriously.
*Lock sensitive data.
*Use backup systems.
*Consider encryption for Internet activities.
*Prepare for the worst.
