In the modern world, where we use Information Communication Technology tools for information sharing and communication, the protection of privacy interests becomes more difficult. We use these tools to share knowledge and to collaborate within our academic community. Though they offer speed and convenience, these tools are never completely secure. Computer systems and communication systems are prone to misuse and hacking by the outsiders and cyber criminals.
