Herein presented thesis focuses on a very complicated relationship between the Internet and selected law areas. Its aim is to emphasize the influence of information technologies on law; specifically it examines challenges which these technologies present to the copyright law and data protection. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first and the second chapter with respect to the comprehensiveness of the topic, which they describe, do not have ambitions to analyse the issue in detail; they rather present it in broader and more general context. On the other hand chapter three and four discuss specific data protection and social network issue much deeper. The conclusion of the paper is considered as a certain summary and demonstration of author's thoughts and opinions towards analyzed issue. The first chapter aimed to describe specific environment of the Internet including its origin and development. This chapter also deals with law aspects of the Internet while it presents various considerations that characterise the relationship between law and the Internet, their mutual interaction and challenges they have to face in this environment. The second chapter analyses historical transformations of copyright law and put them in context with growing significance that copyright law undoubtedly has...

The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate what online profiling is, what happens with users' or customers' personal data during this process, how these activities interfere with the individuals' right to privacy, what the legal regulation in this field is, whether the privacy interests of individuals are sufficiently protected and if not, how the situation might be improved. The thesis starts with description of todays' business practices that are based on collecting data about customers, analyzing it and creating profiles suggesting the most profitable behaviour of businesses towards customers. It is followed by explanation of the technological tools enabling data collection and the method of data mining that is the key enabler of creating profiles. The text continues with description of risks of profiling in relation to privacy, i.e. the issues of discrimination, de-individualisation, restriction of individual autonomy, information asymmetries and possible misuse of profiles. The notion of right to privacy is explained and other interests that have to be balanced with privacy are mentioned as well. After that follows a critical description of the current legal framework in the European Union. It consists of Data Protection Directive, ePrivacy Directive and since 2018 of the General Data...

The submitted thesis deals with personal data protection in the context of labour-law relationships. This is an actual and discussed issue in current society, which has constitutional aspects as well. Due to the extensiveness of the topic, the aim of this thesis is not giving a comprehensive explanation of the personal data protection in labour-law relationships area. My effort is to perform the reader with this issue from the general introduction including a survey of the legislation and explanation of main concepts to outlining the fundamental principles of the legislation and focusing more thoroughly on the several selected questions. The thesis itself is divided into four chapters. In my thesis I am trying to point out to the most important court decisions and also the opinions of The Office for Personal Data Protection and The Article 29 Working Party. In the first chapter I deal with the concept of privacy, because I consider it to be a "foundation stone" of the whole issue of personal data protection. This chapter demonstrates how the concept of privacy has developed in the course of time, in the next chapter the legislation of privacy protection and, as well, a conflict with other values are pointed out. In the second chapter I focus on the legislation of privacy and personal data...

Information and Data Protection in Labour Law Relationships The thesis is concerned with the issue of personal data protection in labour-law relationships, as it mainly deals with cases where the employee's right to privacy collides with employer's right to property protection. The aim of the thesis is primarily to give a complex interpretation concerning personal data protection in the context of labour law. Besides, the author attempts to solve some questions whose practical application may cause problems and draws attention to frequent bad habits that happen at workplaces. The thesis consists of four chapters which are further divided into subchapters. In the outset of the thesis the author deals with basic legal framework of privacy protection of an individual, and personal data protection as part of privacy, both in Czech legislation and in the context of international law and European Union law. Next chapters explain selected key terminology that occurs in the Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, the Act No. 101/2000 Coll., on Personal Data Protection and the Act No. 262/2006 Coll., Labour Code, and define basic principles that are...

This diploma thesis deals with personal data protection of data subjects, i.e. natural persons to whom the data refer, in social networks in relation to possibilities of personal data liquidation, i.e. their permanent deletion both from physical data carrier and controller's database, or processor, and from the Internet. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate current law, to show its imperfections, and to present European Commission's regulation proposal that should solve these imperfections. The first chapter of this thesis focuses on privacy law, development of personal data protection, basic legal principles of their protection, necessary terminology of personal data protection, conception and development of social networks, and question of privacy in social networks. This foundation is followed by an extensive chapter on legal framework of protection which comprises the core of this diploma thesis. The chapter legal framework of protection is formed by problems of territoriality and applicable law, legal relationship of social network service provider and user, and predominantly by data liquidation and legal means of protection. The second chapter concentrates on preparation of new law on the EU level, which should harmonise personal data protection laws in all EU member states, and is to...

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / Cryptographic protocols provide security services through the application of cryptography. When designing a cryptographic protocol, the requirements are, often, specified informally. Informal specification can lead to incorrect protocols from misinterpreting the security requirements and environmental assumptions. Formal tools have been shown to reduce ambiguity. In this paper, a cryptographic protocol, called the Secure Open Distribution Protocol (SODP), is developed to provide authentication services for open source information. A formal development process is proposed to aid in the design of the SODP. The Strand Space method has been selected as the formal mechanism for specifying requirements, architecting a protocol design, and assuring the correctness of the protocol. First, the informal authentication requirements are modeled as agreement properties. Next, Authentication Tests, a Strand Space concept, are introduced to aid in the design of the SODP. Finally, a formal proof is constructed to assure that the SODP has satisfied all requirements. The result of the development process proposed in this paper is a cryptographic protocol that can be used to securely distribute open source information. Also, the Strand Space method is demonstrated as a viable option for the formal development of a cryptographic protocol. / Civilian, Federal Cyber Corps
