Table 1 Difference between privacy and security
From: Big data privacy: a technological perspective and review
S.No | Privacy | Security |
|---|---|---|
1 | Privacy is the appropriate use of user’s information | Security is the “confidentiality, integrity and availability” of data |
2 | Privacy is the ability to decide what information of an individual goes where | Security offers the ability to be confident that decisions are respected |
3 | The issue of privacy is one that often applies to a consumer’s right to safeguard their information from any other parties | Security may provide for confidentiality. The overall goal of most security system is to protect an enterprise or agency [72] |
4 | It is possible to have poor privacy and good security practices | However, it is difficult to have good privacy practices without a good data security program |
5 | For example, if user make a purchase from XYZ Company and provide them payment [13] and address information in order for them to ship the product, they cannot then sell user’s information to a third party without prior consent to user | The company XYZ uses various techniques (Encryption, Firewall) in order to prevent data compromise from technology or vulnerabilities in the network |
