The DEFCON Surveys

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), Aug. 1, 2004, 3:20 p.m. (30 minutes).

Ponemon Institute recently conducted two independent surveys concerning individual privacy rights. The first study examines the public's perception concerning the safety and security of e-voting systems. The second study explores the public's reaction to the U.S. government's CAPPS II proposal that requires airlines to share personal data about passengers with the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. Larry will present an analysis that compares and contrasts the "DEFCON" community to members of the general public in terms of perceptions and beliefs about privacy issues.
