INTRODUCTION
The 8th CACR Information Security Workshop: The Human Face of Privacy Technology will be held November 1 & 2, 2001, at the University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada. This is the second annual conference jointly organized by the Information Privacy Commission of Ontario and the Center for Applied Cryptographic Research, University of Waterloo.

WORKSHOP THEME:
In June of 2001, cell phone users in the Ottawa area found that their private conversations were being streamed live on the Internet. Earlier this year, the security protocol in the 802.11b wireless encryption standard was broken, resulting in users communications being potentially transparent to the outside world. In Guatemala, a worker with the Amnesty International delegation narrowly escaped an abduction attempt, and thwarted attempts to gain access to sensitive documents in her hotel room using privacy enhancing technologies.

Within the last year those involved in developing and implementing technology have experienced a growing awareness of privacy risks within those technologies and a better understanding of privacy averse environments. This awareness has brought to the fore the need to further develop and implement technologies that are privacy protective. Parallel to this, around the globe, economic crime units and law enforcement agencies, governments, businesses and lawyers wrestle with the tools to combat the international specter of cyber crime, while often sidelining key privacy issues. The exploration of privacy and security issues is fundamental to understanding how the construction and implementation of privacy policies and technologies can be improved for the real world.

This year's workshop will explore these and other privacy and security issues through a mix of traditional panel discussions and presentations as well as a Mock Cyber Crime Trial with audience participation and an interactive subject rights counter-surveillance event lead by Dr. Steve Mann, U of Toronto.

The workshop builds on the comments and suggestions provided by last year's delegates and speakers who suggested a further exploration into both leading edge privacy and security technologies and an exploration of the context that these technologies work within. As a result, the conference has been expanded to cover two days, including parallel breakout sessions. Attendee spots have been increased to 150 to meet demand and more time for discussion and networking has been set-aside in the evenings. For early registrants a conference package will be sent out before the event that includes additional material on the conference objective, speakers/organizers and a detailed backgrounder for the scheduled Mock Cyber Crime Trial that will take place.

The intended audience includes technology and security experts, CIO's, senior technology executives, cryptographers, engineers, law enforcement, academics, private sector leaders, privacy experts and students.
