A Report of Research on Privacy for Electronic Government

This is the report of "International Research on Privacy for Electronic Government". The compiled report will show us the latest status of privacy situation and Privacy Enhancing Technologies in international community in the beginning of year 2003. I expect this report would help further improvement in Japan's planning on electronic government and electronic local government. Privacy is a foundation of democracy, thus, privacy has important substantial effects on every part of electronic government that we are heading toward. Then we, law makers to technologists to businesses, all will be asked to ensure privacy protection is embedded in it.
