Abstract

Internet security aimed at addressing terrorism and crime is not only a technological issue, it invariably impacts on the legal system, such as the right to privacy. Many information security professionals focus on security and pay little or no regard to the privacy rights of the Internet user whereas the opposite can be said of privacy activists. Countries face the challenge of applying new approaches to the Internet in the prevention, detection and investigation of crime and terrorism and the prosecution of the perpetrator. Commission of crimes and terrorism as well as securing the Internet against terrorism and other crimes result in a conflict between security, a technical issue and privacy, a legal aspect. A perplexing question is whether an Internet user can expect online privacy and whether globalisation in respect of the use of the Internet and the approaches in combating crime and especially terrorism have not resulted in an online environment that is incompatible with privacy rights.
