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!

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.

WEBINAR
As agreement on a new EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework edges closer by the day, one of the key compliance areas that companies need to address is vendor risk management. In order to address European concerns, the new framework includes far stricter requirements on companies contracting with third parties. Companies are required to contract with partners that can process data consistent with the Privacy Shield framework and will be responsible for vendors acting on their behalf.
With many global companies working with thousands of vendors to process HR and customer data, this webinar will tackle important questions such as:
How can they take a prioritized approach to risk management?
What are current best practices?
How can they ensure compliance with Privacy Shield within the projected timelines?
Register NOW for this webinar to review strategies for managing this key compliance obligation alongside updates on the latest state of play with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield negotiations!
*Can’t make the webinar? Register anyway! We’ll send you a followup email with the slides and recording after the webinar!*
The Data Quality Campaign, in partnership with Senator Patty Murray and Senator Orrin Hatch, cordially invites you to join us for a bipartisan briefing on the Hill about strategies for making data work for students and a discussion among leading education policy experts on the specific education data questions facing policymakers and practitioners today. Refreshments will be provided.

Aimee Rogstad Guidera, President of the Data Quality Campaign
Panelists include:
Amanda Karhuse, Director of Advocacy at The National Association of Secondary School Principals
Natasha Ushomirsky, Director of K-12 Policy Development at The Education Trust
Claire Voorhees, Director for K-12 Reform at The Foundation for Excellence in Education
Congressional offices and the general public are invited to attend this discussion.
Join the Software & Information Industry Association for a free public webinar to discuss new and practical ways to think about privacy issues!
How can privacy be better protected in an age of robots, artificial intelligence, and ubiquitous data collection? What principles should guide government and industry? What steps should they consider?
