I think that the move toward securing the Kenyan netspace will only take off once we have important content online such as financial history, credit card information, address information and so on. This requires legislation. The FOI act should be speeded up to 'force' government to avail data online. The recently signed (then unsigned?) law on communications has some enabling legislation for e-commerce. Not sure it takes into account security but government should be clear on who the onus to secure data on one's network is. I think more a problem for industry players than 'Wanjiku'...If you create a site where you require my credit card details then by all means you should take the blow if someone steals the info and misuses my card!</span></font></div>

<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Like many other Kenyans, we frequently register to use various online services provided by the government and businesses. The registration process requires that we provide personal information including physical, postal address, telephone numbers, credit card numbers, etc. The younger generation and the young-at-heart are readily sharing “personally identifiable information” including photos and events through social networking sites including facebook, youtube, myspace, flickr, twitter, etc. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt"></span></p>

<p style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'">Personal information collected and made available in the public domain such as the electoral register, telephone directory can be combined with information for example from supermarkets loyalty cards to create valuable market information to track individual preferences and purchase profiles. This information may unfortunately be subject to abuse and theft. Consequently, ‘trust’ in policies and the security measures that the government and businesses establish to protect user information is therefore an essential element for the success of e-transactions (both e-government and e-commerce)</span><span style="FONT-SIZE: 9.5pt"></span></p>
