Data Protection in a Post-Pandemic Society: Laws, Regulations, Best Practices and Recent Solutions (後疫情時代的數據保護：法律、法規、最佳實踐與最新解決方案)

本書提供了有關數據保護的最新研究成果和預測，特別關注後疫情社會。本書還包括了各種有關數據保護的案例研究和應用，涵蓋物聯網 (IoT)、智慧城市、聯邦學習、元宇宙、密碼學和網絡安全。由於對保護個人數據的興趣增加，數據保護已經成為計算機安全領域的一個重要議題。

數據保護是信息安全的一個關鍵方面，個人和商業數據需要防止未經授權的訪問和修改。被盜的個人信息已被用於許多目的，例如勒索、欺凌和身份盜竊。隨著互聯網和社交媒體應用的廣泛使用，人們通過分享個人數據使自己變得脆弱。本書討論了在 COVID-19 疫情前、期間和後，與個人數據保護相關的挑戰。其中一些挑戰是由於技術進步（例如人工智能 (AI)/機器學習 (ML) 和 ChatGPT）所引起的。

為了保護涉及的數據隱私，正在部署一些新技術，如零知識證明、完全同態加密和多方計算。數據隱私與數據效用之間的緊張關係推動了這一領域的創新，全球許多初創公司已開始獲得政府機構和風險投資家的資金支持。這促進了隱私保護數據計算技術在實際應用中的採用，該領域正在迅速發展。研究人員和在數據保護及相關安全領域學習/工作的學生將會發現本書作為參考資料非常有用。
