I read with interest and optimism the guest post written by NO2ID's James Baker for the M2SYS blog last week: Interest because the people at M2SYS seem to share our belief that biometric identity management techniques have been a force for good in the world far more than they have led to ill; Optimism because I hope there is a common intellectual and philosophical space that technology providers and those who worry about biometrics can inhabit.
Over the course of a series of posts we will be examining the appropriate role of privacy campaigners in the adoption of biometric identity management technologies.
Part I: The Right to Privacy
Part II: The Nature of Consent
Part III: Transparency
Part IV: A Framework for the Discussion of Privacy Issues
Part V: Filling in the framework; Absolute advocacy dos and don'ts
