Surveillance Threating Privacy and Data Protection: A Review

Abstract

To combat crime and terrorism there is necessity of surveillance. The word “surveillance” originates from French verb, “Surveillar”, which means “To watch over”. Modern surveillance technologies named as Smart Surveillance are being deployed almost everywhere and it is sadly observed that surveillance used for various purposes is also posing threat to privacy and data protection. To combat crime and terrorism, use of smart surveillance should not be so applied that it becomes cause to dishonor privacy and personal data protection. This paper has taken a sincere attempt to review different surveillance techniques and related privacy challenges affecting the society.
