Going beyond current books on privacy and security, Unauthorized Access: The Crisis in Online Privacy and Security proposes specific solutions to public policy issues pertaining to online privacy and security. Requiring no technical or legal expertise, the book explains complicated concepts in clear, straightforward language.

The authors—two renowned experts on computer security and law—explore the well-established connection between social norms, privacy, security, and technological structure. This approach is the key to understanding information security and informational privacy, providing a practical framework to address ethical and legal issues. The authors also discuss how rapid technological developments have created novel situations that lack relevant norms and present ways to develop these norms for protecting informational privacy and ensuring sufficient information security.

Bridging the gap among computer scientists, economists, lawyers, and public policy makers, this book provides technically and legally sound public policy guidance about online privacy and security. It emphasizes the need to make trade-offs among the complex concerns that arise in the context of online privacy and security.

Industry Reviews

"... a guide though the thicket of contradictions and trade-offs in this area. ... The well-written collection of 12 chapters starts with the basics of computing, networking, and data mining, and proceeds through systems vulnerabilities, attacks, and defenses, all within the perspectives of costs (economy), law, social engineering, and public policy. ... Highly recommended."
-J Beidler, University of Scranton, in CHOICE Magazine, April 2014

"Sloan and Warner's new book comprehensively analyzes consumer privacy and security from a game theoretic viewpoint. Their approach crisply explains both consumer and firm behavior and offers useful predictions for where market or regulatory approaches are needed for consumer protection."
-Chris Jay Hoofnagle, Lecturer in Residence, UC Berkeley Law

"The success of this book is in making non-technical readers think about the situation we are in and the hard choices that we are left with."
-Sithu D. Sudarsan, in Computing Reviews

" ... the writing style increases the accessibility of the content and enhances its appeal to a broader readership, including graduate students, postgraduate students, and informed lay readers. ... Fortunately, this book was written by experts with a deep knowledge and understanding of the field, who present complex issues in a refreshingly straightforward manner. ... will stimulate the thinking of students at all levels, especially those in computer science and engineering courses focusing on ethical and professional issues."
-Barry Blundell, in Computing Reviews
