New Technologies and Future Trends in Computer Security

Looks at the wide‐ranging changes which are taking place in the computer industry and what this means for security issues. Highlights current computer crimes and looks at why computer crime has been able to increase, e.g. computer terrorism, sale of contaminated software, and why today there is a greater need for computer security. Refers to the Berne Convention and the “gold card proposal”. Discusses the attitudes for and against trans‐border data flow, and the now very public issue of privacy, including how the buying of information is being tackled and the consequences of the cashless society.
