| Technical standards are used daily by businesses, industries, authorities and individuals. Implementing standards may provide businesses and industries advantages over their competitors. For instance, Android and IOS are standardized platforms. Standards may also benefit individuals, as they provide transparency on the methods, processes and quality management of businesses.
Standards are developed for a range of topics such as information security, product safety, social responsibility, privacy, cloud computing and drones. For those who want to understand limitations and possibilities of emerging technologies in our techno-driven society, the understanding of dynamics of technical standardization and its complex legal aspects is highly relevant. This course will start with an introduction to the world of standards, standards-setting processes and governance. In-depth analyses of various legal issues will follow, such as standard-essential patents, copyright protection of technical standards and data privacy standards. The course will include both frontal teaching and interactive teaching. Students will participate in case studies and working sessions in groups. Part of the program is a field trip, during which students will discuss with experts working in the field of standardization. The main focus of the course is on the European legal and policy approach towards technical standardization, but international standardization will also be discussed, such as ISO (International Organization for Standardisation) and W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). The lectures will be provided by the course leaders and guest lecturers from academia and practice. |
Workshop Focus
Rapid advances in technology have recently brought the analytics of shared data close to practical, even if the amounts of data are large and the security and privacy requirements stringent. In particular for fields with highly sensitive data such as genomics or other health domains, the wide range of privacy-preserving analytics technologies promise to enable new and exciting applications and scientific breakthroughs.
Though for real-world use, there remain still open questions on necessary and sufficient levels of privacy, regulatory and legal compliance, public acceptance and end-user usability of privacy-preserving algorithms to just name a few.
Workshop Goals
- To take a step back to compare and contrast recent advances in medical analytics.
- To bring stakeholders from Medicine, Law, and Technology together to get a better understanding of the full range of requirements, capabilities, and constraints.
- Discuss the current state of technology and to identify remaining technical and non-technical hurdles for public adaption.
- To identify promising directions for further research and real-world validation approaches.
The workshop will not publish proceedings: The goal is to share and summarize progress and insights so far in a conference report that will be published. Furthermore, speakers will be free to publish their talks and any accompanying material online.
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.
ACM WiSec 2016 will be held from July 18 to July 20, 2016. It will be co-located with PETS 2016 as well as a number of security-related workshops as a part of the Security Week 2016in Darmstadt, Germany.
The goal of this workshop is to identify and discuss the main open research challenges at the intersection of privacy technologies and cryptography that should be prioritised in the coming 5-10 years. The inputs and discussions to the workshop will be the basis of a white paper that contributes to defining the priorities of a strategic research agenda in the field of cryptography and privacy.
