Data Mining - Analysis White Papers

Data Mining, National Security, Privacy and Civil Liberties

Overview There has been much interest recently on using data mining for counter-terrorism applications. For example, data mining can be used to detect unusual patterns, terrorist activities and fraudulent behavior. While all of these applications of data mining can benefit humans and save lives, there is also a negative side to this technology, since it could be a threat to the privacy of individuals. This is because data mining tools are available on the web or otherwise and even naive users can apply these tools to extract information from the data stored in various databases and files and consequently violate the privacy of the individuals.
