Happy New Year.

In 2011, I contributed an article to a New Year special titled “A Merciless Society and Numbering Systems: The Risks of Record Linkage Seen in Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables,” discussing the privacy aspects of what was then called a “national ID” and is now known as My Number. 9 years later, I was pleased to receive another opportunity to write for the New Year special on Gijutsu-Hyoron Co.’s gihyo.jp. This time, I looked back at privacy-related events that occurred in 2019 and introduced privacy-related standards that would likely be published in 2020.

The standards covered in the article are:

  • ISO/IEC 29184, Privacy Notices and Consent (what must be included in a so-called “privacy policy” posted on a website or elsewhere, and what steps must be followed to obtain consent)
  • ISO/IEC 27551, Unlinkable Attribute-Based Authentication (pseudonymization and anonymization)
  • ISO/IEC 29134, Guidelines for Privacy Impact Assessment (what should be done in a privacy impact assessment (PIA), which also appears in the outline for the review of Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information every 3 years, and how its report should be compiled)

Those are the standards discussed.

I hope you will enjoy reading it.
