Cyber
Cyber-, from "cybernetic", from the Greek for "skilled in steering or governing", may refer to:
Privacy
Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes. When something is private to a person, it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive to them. The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information. Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity.
Security
Security is freedom from, or resilience against, potential harm (or other unwanted coercive change) from external forces. Beneficiaries (technically referents) of security may be persons and social groups, objects and institutions, ecosystems, and any other entity or phenomenon vulnerable to unwanted change by its environment.
Privacy
The saint and poet seek privacy to ends the most public and universal: and it is the secret of culture, to interest the man more in his public, than in his private quality.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Culture,” The Conduct of Life (1860)
Privacy
Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead (1943), p. 715.
Privacy
Every man should know that his conversations, his correspondence, and his personal life are private. I have urged Congress—except when the Nation's security is at stake—to take action to that end.
Lyndon B. Johnson, remarks at the swearing-in of Ramsey Clark as attorney general (March 10, 1967; in Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B. Johnson, 1967, book 1, p. 313.
