A smart city is a city that is water resilient and attractive and makes responsible use of its resources. Appropriate water management not only preserves and improves the environment, it also increases social welfare and the well-being of citizens. A smart, integrated set of technologies, solutions and systems can enable continous monitoring, diagnosis and prioritization as well as facilitate maintenance and the management of issues. Data can help optimize all aspects of water production, distribution and treatment allowing cities to reach those objectives. The session will address pain points many cities experience today and point to possible solutions.

Smart City pain point – Cybersecurity and privacy
Citizens around the world are witnessing an urban renaissance. Cities are vibrant centres of modern life. They increasingly depend on information and communications technology (ICT). With it the cybersecurity threat landscape for cities is evolving, from breaches of city data to more malicious attacks on urban infrastructure. The potential impact of cybersecurity attacks is of a magnitude that rivals with major natural disasters. A leading panel of international experts will lead a conversation on latest policies and essential governance priorities every Mayor and City Administrator needs to know to be confident their city is positioned for vibrant growth.

Internet connectivity has empowered communities of people in unprecedented ways, enabling them to interact across physical borders while gaining access to new technologies like 3D printing, biohacking, and artificial intelligence. Highly skilled communities of security researchers, tinkerers, hobbyists, and innovators advance science and engineering faster than governments and companies can catch up. However, hacktivists and terrorist groups can employ these very same skills and tools to conduct disruptive cyber attacks. Can the overwhelming number of good actors in these online communities of interest be creatively mobilized to combat nefarious activities in their midst? Must we trade innovation for national security, or can they reinforce each other? What happens when you drop military counterproliferation operators into the hacker spaces of Silicon Valley?
A reception will follow the event.

Friday lunchtime lectures are for everyone and are free to attend. You bring your lunch, we provide tea and coffee, an interesting talk, and enough time to get back to your desk.
The failure of anonymisation has led to a narrative in the debate over privacy and open data that sometimes pits these two values against each other, as though privacy and openness are inherently in conflict. In this talk, Woodrow Hartzog will argue that in order to reconcile this perceived tension, we must better define the notions of both ‘open data’ and ‘privacy in datasets’ in our law and policy to accommodate reasonable risk management techniques.
About the speaker
Woodrow Hartzog is an Associate Professor at the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and an Affiliate Scholar at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School. His research on privacy, media and robotics has been published in numerous law reviews and peer-reviewed publications such as the Columbia Law Review, California Law Review and Michigan Law Review, as well as popular publications such as the Guardian, Wired, The Atlantic, CNN and BBC. His book, Privacy’s Blueprint: The Battle to Control the Design of New Technologies, is under contract with Harvard University Press.
The workshop seeks to bring together experts and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss challenging open research issues, case studies, and legal and policy challenges related to inference and privacy.
Infer 2016 will be held on Monday, July 18, 2016, in Darmstadt, Germany. It will be co-located with PETS 2016, WiSec 2016, IFIPTM 2016 as well as with a number of security-related workshops all being part of Darmstadt’s Security and Privacy Week 2016.
Infer 2016 will take place at the Kongresszentrum Darmstadtium, in Room 3.02 | Hassium.
As wireless and mobile networking becomes ubiquitous, security and privacy become increasingly critical. The focus of the ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (ACM WiSec) is on the security and privacy aspects of wireless communications, mobile networks, and their applications. In addition to the traditional ACM WiSec topics of physical, link, and network layer security, we also welcome papers focusing on the security and privacy of mobile software platforms and the increasingly diverse range of mobile or wireless applications. The conference welcomes both theoretical as well as systems contributions.
Keynote – The Ultimate Frontier for Privacy and Security: Medicine
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL
Personalized medicine brings the promise of better diagnoses, better treatments, a higher quality of life and increased longevity. To achieve these noble goals, it exploits a number of revolutionary technologies, including genome sequencing and DNA editing, as well as wearable devices and implantable or even edible biosensors. In parallel, the popularity of “quantified self” gadgets shows the willingness of citizens to be more proactive with respect to their own health. Yet, this evolution opens the door to all kinds of abuses, notably in terms of discrimination, blackmailing, stalking, and subversion of devices.
After giving a general description of this situation, in this talk we will expound on some of the main concerns, including the temptation to permanently and remotely monitor the physical (and metabolic) activity of individuals. We will describe the potential and the limitations of techniques such as cryptography (including secure multi-party computation), trusted hardware and differential privacy. We will also discuss the notion of consent in the face of the intrinsic correlations of human data. We will argue in favor of a more systematic, principled and cross-disciplinary research effort in this field and will discuss the motives of the various stakeholders.
The annual Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) brings together privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives on research in privacy technologies. PETS addresses the design and realization of privacy services for the Internet and other digital systems and communication networks.
This year, the symposium will be held during Security & Privacy Week SPW 2016, which offers five days of various exciting events, covering many timely topics surrounding the field of security & privacy.
An intensive daylong conference, the Forum delivers world-class discussion and education on the top privacy issues in the Asia Pacific and around the globe. RSVP today to secure your spot!

Our conferences draw nearly 30,000 attendees per year, making us the world’s largest info security event. However, the real value of RSA Conference lies not in our size, but in the valuable content we provide and our commitment to finding new industry voices and new ways for our community to feel inspired and engaged.
Be better prepared for future challenges. Connect with RSA Conference today—the go-to resource for the people and ideas that matter most to the industry, your organization and your career.
Join us for a discussion on kids, connected toys and devices, and privacy.
The debate over the relationship between children and technology has been heated and complex. Issues ranging from the right amount of screen time, online privacy, safety and security have occupied policymakers, parents, and advocates for quite some time. New technologies such as dolls that listen and talk, interactive teddy bears, smart home devices, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence have intensified the debate. As new types of data are collected, these technologies will generate both opportunities for interactive play and education, but also new challenges.
Security concerns around outsiders accessing children’s information or accessing a parent’s home are already in the news. The nature of dolls and toys that become a child’s best friend – that can discuss intimate information, provide advice, and be a buddy – are raising questions about the right balance. When artificial intelligence enters the mix, the debate will only be intensified.
