Course Description:
The increasing use of computers in business, government, recreation, and almost all aspects of daily life has led to a proliferation of sensitive data that is collected, stored, and used by today's ubiquitous information systems. Consequently, concern about the ownership, control, privacy, and accuracy of these data has become a top priority. This course will explore the powers and the limitations of the existing privacy-enhancing technologies with a focus on the technical challenges of handling sensitive information as well as the corresponding legal, social, economic, and policy issues. Special attention will be paid to the recent advances and new perspectives on research in privacy technologies.
