... I have pulled through any number of papers, publications, websites, books, etc. that I still have kicking around, and though it /should/ be enough to fill up all my allotted time, I thought a solicitation for help and pointers couldn't hurt.
If you were to lead a discussion on privacy and anonymity (regardless of the involvement of the Internet), what topics would you want to discuss? Which areas would you want to focus on? How would you start out?
i've always liked Ian Goldberg's nymity slider as a description of identity and how you disclose/leak/protect it. http://www.cypherpunks.ca/~iang/thesis.html if i were in your situation i think a high level overview of identity and nymity (along the lines of the nymity slider) followed by specific privacy enhancing technologies would work well. perhaps covering: - anonymous email (mixnets) and browsing/sessions (tor/onions) - pseudonymous communication with aliases. (Off-the-Record? blogs?) - security and least privilege? i'd be curious to know what you put together; this would be a helpful resource for me and others i'm sure.
