Across the world, the people either favour government scrutiny on information to guarantee their safety, or are against it on grounds of protection of privacy. This paper highlights both sides of the coin and introduces a method which helps strike a balance between privacy concerns, and the question of national security and access to individual data. These two sides are complementary when it comes to action. Today's world of information is interconnected and both security and privacy are fundamental cogs in this wheel. The reality today is that there is growing demand for access to individual's personal information, as companies us it to tailor their products with customer tastes and needs. On the other hand, such large scale intrusion on personal data poses serious threat to privacy of the person, time, national security is an important aspect of countries. In the interest of national security, governments can monitor and control the transactions and movements. These two opposite principles need to be balanced for healthy professional and social life of people, good business environment and national development.
