Privacy Protection for E-Services

There is a deep need for privacy education and technology with which to educate the e-services industry, and provide it the tools to build privacy preserving e-services. Privacy Protection for E-Services fulfills this need by reporting on the latest advances in privacy protection issues and technologies for e-services, covering important material, such as: consumer empowerment, assessing privacy risks, security technologies needed for privacy protection, systems for privacy policy enforcement, and even methods for assessing privacy technologies. Privacy Protection for E-Services is a must-read for consumers, educators, researchers, designers, and developers who are interested in the protection of consumer privacy for Internet services.
