While the purpose of this site is to inform and recommend solutions to privacy concerns surrounding confidential transactions, it is clearly the case that there are other organizations which are addressing political, philosophical and practical issues associated with privacy and security.

We use this page to link you to some of those resources.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation bills itself as “a nonprofit group of passionate people -- lawyers, technologists, volunteers and visionaries -- working to protect your digital rights”. Since 1990, the EFF has an amazing track record of protecting individual’s liberties on the web, as you’ll see if you visit the site.

EPIC.org is the web site of the Electronic Privacy Information Center. It was founded in 1994 to focus Americans’ attention on privacy issues. If you’re a US citizen, you should sign up for their newsletter.

The Government of Canada Internet Guide is a great source for Canadians to learn about their rights online. It’s a government-owned web site, so it’s a little dry, but nonethless quite comprehensive in providing the federal government’s perspective on privacy and security on the net.

CyberSLAPP.org is sponsored by a number of civil liberties and privacy groups (some of which are listed on this page). Their goal is to combat a new form of law suit, called a CyberSLAPP. SLAPP = “Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation”. SLAPP law suits typically involve silencing individual’s rights to free speech on the Internet, when the individual in question is highly unlikely to have the financial resources to contest a legal action of that kind.

iNFOSYSSEC, the Security Portal for Information System Security Professionals, is pretty much what it claims. If you’re already have that job title, you’ll know about it. If you don’t, you’ll find out what the experts in the field are reading and talking about.

DMOZ.org, the Open Directory Project, will take you to dozens of other lessor known resources.
