In the first module in the course, we will discuss the role of information privacy within the US federal government. Your instructor, Chris Stevens, will cover the Privacy Act of 1974, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, the E-Government Act of 2002 and the relevant concepts and topics.

In the second module, students will learn about the US Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) role in providing privacy-related guidance to the Executive Branch. They will review OMB Circular A-130, OMB Memorandum 03-22 and more. Our third module will cover several NIST special publications (SP) and an internal report (IR) providing guidance to the Executive Branch regarding privacy. Students will receive an introduction to privacy engineering, the three privacy engineering objectives (predictability, manageability and disassociability), and the importance of privacy risk management.

Students will learn about the role of information privacy within the US federal government's executive branch. They will learn about the Privacy Act of 1974, the Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of 1988, the E-Government Act of 2002 and the relevant concepts and topics.
