Researchers at ThePrivacyPlace.Org are still conducting an online survey about individuals’ experience with and perceptions of authentication technologies. The survey was released last August and is supported by an NSF ITR grant (National Science Foundation Information Technology Research). Your participation will help us with our investigations regarding digital identities. It will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete the survey.

As a way of saying thank you for taking the time to complete our survey, we are also offering the chance to enter a drawing for one of two $50 Amazon gift certificates.

The results will be posted on ThePrivacyPlace.org later in 2008.

Coinciding with the Duke Law School Data Privacy Conference, this Monday, January 28th, is officially Data Privacy Day by proclamation of the Governor of North Carolina. Please take the day to raise awareness and educate your colleagues about the importance of data privacy in all areas of information technology. Alternatively, as Governor Easley, suggests you can “observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities that promote awareness of data privacy.”
