The Electronic Privacy Papers: Documents on the Battle for Privacy
in the Age of Surveillance

by Bruce Schneier and David Banisar

John Wiley & Sons, 1997
ISBN: 0-471-12297-1; 747 pages
Retail: $60 hardcover

Trying to keep up with the advancements in cryptography and digital
telephony, the government has advocated controversial new tools
that will allow them to monitor electronic communications. On the
other side of the spectrum, privacy advocates are vehemently
opposed to any government monitoring whatsoever.

The Electronic Privacy Papers is a collection of previously
unreleased documents dealing with privacy in the Information Age.
Combining public government pronouncement, public reactions, and
previously classified documents released under FOIA, this book
paints a clear picture of government policies towards encryption
and privacy and how they will impact individuals and companies
involved with the Internet.

Issues covered include:

	The economic and political rationale for demanding digital
wiretapping and surveillance.

	The legal foundations, and limitations to, government
surveillance.

	Government strategies for soliciting cooperation from
telephone companies and equipment manufacturers.

	Which policies industries and individuals can expect the
government to pursue in the future.

The Electronic Privacy Papers retails for $60 in hardcover.  I am
offering it at the usual 15% discount.
