Introduction

Privacy is not something to take for granted as true privacy becomes increasingly challenging to find. In most day-to-day cases, you are aware that your information is being collected. As you drive, video surveillance monitors for traffic conditions. When you purchase items with credit cards, your buying history is analyzed for marketing. As you use the Internet at work, your browsing habits might be monitored for performance. These are known impacts on personal privacy, but there are many other examples where your privacy is lost without your knowledge or consent.
