about the cover:
Preserving privacy in
an online world remains
one of the industry’s
most exhaustive
challenges. While great
progress has been made,
vulnerabilities indeed
remain. This month’s
cover story by Cynthia
Dwork (p. 86) spotlights

about a set of respondents often compromises the privacy
of the individual.
