Abstract
Whether they like it or not, as businesses and individuals have grown increasingly more dependent on the use of electronic data networks to communicate and transmit data and information, the ability to control the flow of such data and information has grown increasingly more valuable and more critical. For individuals, the ability to protect one's personal privacy and personal information may be important for reasons of personal security and safety. For businesses, the ability to protect data may be important for reasons of protecting core business assets. From either point of view, it is apparent that the increased use of electronic data networks has made it easy for someone to misappropriate someone else's data and make it their own.
