Issues like the required oral consent of the users for the use of the personal data in everyday applications, are very often subsided by the various systems/applications (for example, is required the oral consent of the user for the acceptance of a “cookie” on his computer at the visit on a webpage or for the face recognition service and the upload of the relevant title from Facebook). Moreover, with the spread of the blogs, of the cloud computing, the social services, e.t.c, the effective protection of the personal data with the simultaneous benefit of the advantages of these technologies is becoming even more of grave importance. The European Union is at a procedure of revision of the existing legislation about the protection of personal data (Guideline 95/46/E.U. which was adopted within the Greek legislation with law 2472/1997), and has published a draft of a Regulation, available for public consideration. This new proposal appears to be more strict, recognizing clearly even more rights to the citizens for the protection of their rights, however the implementation of the fundamental principles that rule this proposal have still many questions open (For example how can the Right to Be Forgotten to be implemented within the present internet?) The issues that this dissertation is dealing with, have already become an object of study by the European Authority for the Protection of the Personal Data and the other relevant European Authorities, like the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS). The new regulation about the Protection of the Personal Data which is under public consideration, is an object of study of great interest, since for the creation of the solutions and proposals requires both very good knowledge of the relevant legislation but also of the technology of informatics, (Especially of the internet technology and the security of communication) Summary of the goal, the methods followed, and the results of the M.Sc. dissertation, as these are documented in the text of the M.Sc. dissertation that follows. The extent of the summary is limited to one page only. The summary should be given in English, and it should be a faithful translation of the summary provided in Greek in the previous page
