More Active reading 2: ResourcesActive reading 2: Resources Every day you share personal information about yourself with others. It’s so routine that you may not even realize you’re doing it. You may write a check at the grocery store, charge tickets to a ball game, rent a car, mail your tax returns, buy a gift online, call home on your cell phone, schedule a doctor’s appointment, or apply for a credit card. Each transaction requires you to share personal information: your bank and credit card account numbers; your income; your Social Security number (SSN); or your name, address, and phone numbers.Personal information protectionMore Active reading 2: ResourcesActive reading 2: ResourcesPersonal information protection It’s important to find out what happens to the personal information you and your children provide to companies, marketers, and government agencies. These organizations may use your information simply to process your order; to tell you about products, services, or promotions; or to share with others. And then there are unscrupulous individuals, like identity thieves, who want your information to commit fraud. Identity theft—the fastest-growing white-collar crime in America—occurs when someone steals your personal identifying information, like your SSN, birth date, or mother’s maiden name, to open new charge accounts, order merchandise, or borrow money. More Active reading 2: ResourcesActive reading 2: ResourcesPersonal information protection These tips are offered to help you manage your personal information wisely, and to help minimize its misuse. Before you reveal any personally identifying information, find out how it will be used and whether it will be shared with others. Ask about company’s privacy policy: Will you have a choice about the use of your information; can you choose to have it kept confidential? Read the privacy policy on any website directed to children. Websites directed to children or that knowingly collect information from kids under 13 must post a notice of their information collection practices. More Active reading 2: ResourcesActive reading 2: ResourcesPersonal information protection Put passwords on all your accounts, including your credit card account, and your bank and phone accounts. Avoid using easily available information — like your mother’s maiden name, your birth date, the last four digits of your SSN, or your phone number — or obvious choices, like a series of consecutive numbers or your hometown football team. Minimize the identification information and the number of cards you carry to what you’ll actually need. Don’t put all your identifying information in one holder in your purse, briefcase, or backpack.

It can be used as a means to establish who an individual or an organization is, a means for authentication (to provide proof that one is who one claims to be), a means for authorization (to establish that one has the right to give the instructions that that person wants to give for access to, or use of, information and/or resources) This passage is about the function of identifier.

( ) Clearly a universal identifier may provide great convenience to multiple organizations attempting to assemble a broad profile of the interaction of the individual with his or her society. That convenience includes threats and opportunities for misuse. Such an aggregation of information in the hands of others is likely to be less-than-warmly received by an individual seeking privacy. FMore Active reading 2: ResourcesActive reading 2: ResourcesUniversal identifierThe part is about security approaches for identifier. ( ) For situations requiring increased privacy and/or security or truly unique identification of an individual, biometric factors have often been used: the baby’s footprint and the mother’s fingerprint are recorded at the birth of the child; the photo-ID is used along with one or more numerical identifiers, for many purposes. A retina-scan is another form of unique identifier. Each of these biometric approaches provides a unique ID.

( ) The desirability and feasibility of using universal identifiers and/or unique identifiers clearly is determined. The characteristics of a given transaction or interaction between the individual and the society will determine the values in the tradeoffs (协调) among privacy, security, and convenience. The values of the society will determine the attractiveness of one resolution of these tensions as compared to others.
