The 8th Technion Summer School on Cyber and Computer Security
Privacy in Challenging Times
7-10 September 2020
Chairs: Eli Biham and Orr Dunkelman
Abstract:
Privacy is a complicated and elusive thing. It is a culturally-dependent concept, that speaks differently to different people. Yet, we are affected by the lack of it, even if we are unaware of it. Since we live in the age of big data analytics and mass surveillance, many believe that “Privacy is dead”.
Fortunately, the rumors of its death have been greatly exaggerated. Contemporary research in privacy and security offers a lot of privacy solutions that seem like science fiction: from privacy-preserving machine learning to privacy-preserving contact tracing. From differential privacy that offers mathematical guarantees that one can distribute databases in manners that protect privacy to widely deployed anonymous communication systems such as Tor and Mixnets.
In this summer school we gathered leading experts on privacy and privacy research to speak about various contemporary aspects related to privacy in our era. The focus will be on Corona contract tracing, differential privacy, anonymous communication systems, and privacy preserving machine learning. The summer school will address the topic of privacy from its different angels; technical, economics, ethics, and regulations.
