2. DEFINITIONS OF PRIVACY 1.Privacy- The state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people. 2. The state of being free from public attention. 3. Big Brother-A person or organization exercising total control over people’s lives. 4. Anonymity- Anonymity is derived from the Greek word ἀνωνυμία, anonymia, meaning "without a name" or "namelessness". In colloquial use, anonymity typically refers to the state of an individual's personal identity, or personally identifiable information, being publicly unknown. 5. Privacy- can divided into two not entirely separable categories: preventing identity information leakage from credentials in certificates that cryptographically bound together and prevent unrelated third parties from tracking vehicles and users. Citing: The impact of key assignment on VANET privacy 5. MY DEFINITION:.The quality or condition of being secluded from a person, place or thing.

3. DEFINITION OF VANET • A Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, or VANET is a technology that uses moving cars as nodes in a network to create a mobile network. VANET turns every participating car into a wireless router or node, allowing cars approximately 100 to 300 metres of each other to connect and, in turn, create a network with a wide range. As cars fall out of the signal range and drop out of the network, other cars can join in, connecting vehicles to one another so that a mobile Internet is created. It is estimated that the first systems that will integrate this technology are police and fire vehicles to communicate with each other for safety purposes. • MY DEFINITION: VANET security is any vehicular network not being able to be hacked, manipulated or duplicated for the sole purpose of harm or tyranny.

8. PRIVACY IN CONTEXT Countless works, many of them brilliant, have defended privacy as a fundamental human rights ( not merely preference or an interest by linking it to other values with longstanding moral, political, legal pedigrees. ( pg. 8 Introduction) Colloquially and in contexts of privacy law and policy as well as academic research, it can mean sensitive or intimate information any information about a person or only personally identifying information (pg. 4 introduction) Attention to privacy often centers on its role as a protective barrier for private citizens in relation to government. 1. restricting access to information 2. privacy has a context, is the central theme 3. privacy is not defined

9. PRIVATE/PUBLIC DICHTOMY • 1. Privacy functions as a protective barrier between behavior and policy  and calls into play the private/public distinction defined as a line between private individuals and government actors. • 2. Regarding the line between political and domestic or personal spaces and realms, privacy protects that Warren and Brandismight call the sanctity of the latter. • 3. The private/public distinction is applied to information; privacy is called into play as a protection against access to private information. Each of these contributions to the meaning of privacy is elaborated below.

10. Common Themes Among Privacy Articles/Book • No universal agreement as to what privacy is. • Privacy has no definitive definition. • Privacy is more a concept than a complete definition. • It is contextual.

11. Examples: • “Privacy is not simply an absence of information about us in the minds of others; rather it is the control we have over information about ourselves.” • Privacy. Charles Fried. The Yale Law Journal, Vol. 77, No. 3 (Jan., 1968), pp. 475-493 • “The philosopher Jeffrey Reiman provides another thoughtful account in this vein, defining privacy as ‘the condition under which other people are deprived of access to either some information about you or some experience of you’(1976,30)” (pg. 70). • Privacy in Context-Technology, Policy, and the Integrity of Social Life. • Helen Nissenbaum • Jeffrey Reiman - Author of numerous sociological/criminological books such as The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison

12. Lars’ Definitions • Definition of Privacy: a person’s right to willingly refrain from disclosing personal information or experiences unto others. • VANET Definition of Privacy: a person’s right to conceal both the physical and metaphysical information regarding their vehicle which may be linked to their personal effects or experiences connected to the vehicular ad hoc network (VANET).
