A seamless and ubiquitous computing experience on the Internet also requires the user to take on a certain amount of risk that personal information would get into the wrong hands. Computer scientists are developing tools that protect a user’s privacy. In this Future Lab podcast, researchers discuss some of these tools as well as concepts that can help mitigate the unauthorized use of private information.
