Introduction:
Privacy & Security: Disclosure will be held November 3-4, 2005, at the University of Toronto, Canada. This is the sixth annual conference jointly organized by the Centre for Innovation Law and Policy (University of Toronto) and the Center for Applied Cryptographic Research (University of Waterloo).

Theme:
Even though the privacy discussion continues to focus on consent and its variations, disclosure, or transparency, needs to be given greater attention. Within the public and private sector, privacy practices, policies, glitches and information governance needs to be more thoroughly dealt with. This involves not just the `after the fact' communications clean up or the pollyanna marketing of privacy. The privacy and security discussion really needs to focus on responsible `information management' that accounts for the political, social and economic effects of weak accountability and poor control of expanding networks of information and converging technologies. Disclosure does not stop at the policy practices or circumstances where information can be revealed, shared, sold and bought. Disclosure needs to reveal how a person's personal information is managed and what tests and certifications have been used to protect personal information at all levels.

This year's workshop will explore disclosure-related issues through a mix of traditional panel discussions and presentations and will draw on the knowledge and expertise of a variety of leading practitioners, thinkers, academics, lawyers and authors to discuss their ideas, insights and solutions.

Audience:
The intended audience includes technology and security experts, CIOs, senior technology executives, health professionals, cryptographers, engineers, law enforcement, practitioners, academics, private sector leaders, privacy experts and students.
