Digital communications are the lifeblood of modern society. We "meet up"
online, tweet our reactions millions of times a day, connect through social networking rather than
in person. Large portions of business and commerce have moved to the Web, and much of our critical
infrastructure, including the electric power grid, is controlled online. This reliance on
information systems leaves us highly exposed and vulnerable to cyberattack. Despite this, U.S. law
enforcement and national security policy remain firmly focused on wiretapping and surveillance. But,
as cybersecurity expert Susan Landau argues in Surveillance or Security?, the old
surveillance paradigms do not easily fit the new technologies. By embedding eavesdropping mechanisms
into communication technology itself, we are building tools that could be turned against us and
opting for short-term security and creating dangerous long-term risks.
How can we
get communications security right? Landau offers a set of principles to govern wiretapping policy
that will allow us to protect our national security as well as our freedom.

Free Surveillance or Security?: The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technologies
Surveillance or Security?: The Risks Posed by New Wiretapping Technologies is a hard book to categorize. It is not about security, but it deals extensively with it. It is not a law book, but legal topics are pervasive throughout the book. It is not a telecommunications book, but extensively details telco issues. Ultimately, the book is a most important overview of security and privacy and the nature of surveillance in current times.
Surveillance or Security? is one of the most pragmatic books on the topic is that the author never once uses the term Big Brother. Far too many books on privacy and surveillance are filled with hysteria and hyperbole and the threat of an Orwellian society. This book sticks to the raw facts and details the current state, that of insecure and porous networks around a surveillance society.
In this densely packed work, Susan Landau, a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University details the myriad layers around surveillance, national security, information security and privacy. Landau writes that her concern is not about legally authorized law enforcement and nationally security wiretapping; rather about the security risks of building surveillance into communications infrastructures.
Landau details numerous reasons why communications security is hard to do right; but an imperative for our ultimate security, privacy and digital wellbeing.
In 250 pages, Landau makes a compelling case. In addition to her superb handle on the topic, the book has over 80 pages of footnotes, where every quote, statement and claim is verified and confirmed. The book is a great launching pad for a much deeper analysis on the topic.
