Title:

The

Meaning

of

Anonymity

in

an

Information

Age

Quote:

“People

are

strolling

through

a

foreign

city

are

anonymous

because

no

one

know

who

they

are.”

Expectations:

I

expect

to

learn

more

about

the

meaning

of

anonymity

and

how

to

solve

it.

Book

Review:

Base

on

the

discussion

of

Nissenbaum,

her

chapter

tackles

more

about

the

meaning

of

anonymity

in

an

information

age.

It

discussed

that

anonymity

is

conducting

oneself

without

revealing

one’s

name.

Some

cases

in

anonymity

are

sending

electronic

email

to

an

individual

without

any

name

of

the

sender

in

any

part

of

the

header,

taking

part

in

a

chat

room

or

electronic

forum,

or

in

a

game

without

one’s

given

name

that

will

identify

them,

buying

something

with

the

digital

equivalent

of

cash

and

visiting

web

site

without

having

to

reveal

one’s

identity.

There

are

also

two

methods

to

solve

problems,

when

the

data

is

sent

electronically,

we

must

have

the

senders

identification

to

be

added

to

the

message

automatically.

The

second

one

is

to

decrypt

an

encrypted

message

and

we

should

know

the

decryption

key

of

the

sender.

Things

I

have

learned:

I

have

learned

how

to

solve

anonymity

and

I

have

become

more

aware

in

different

cases

of

anonymity.

Integrity

Questions:

1.

Who

is

Helen

Nissenbaum?

2.

What

is

anonymity?
