Implementing Technology
to Support Privacy Policy
Dr. Alan Harbitter is a Distinguished Professor of Information Technology and
Engineering in the Volgenau School of Information Technology and
Engineering. He earned his PhD at Mason in 2001 while co-founding PEC
Solutions, a publicly-owned information technology services company. His
business and academic activities have focused on information security,
especially privacy and identity management. In prior lectures in this series,
he presented his contributions to a framework for secure nationwide
information sharing in the Justice community. His current work, and the
subject of this lecture, concerns application of technology to implement
privacy policy. There has been considerable progress made in developing
privacy policies to govern the operation of information systems, but much
less progress in developing supportive technology to implement these complex
polices. In this lecture he will describe national‑scale pilot
programs that apply technology to help protect privacy, and outline the
future research required to expand the scope of this work to fully protect
privacy.
