| 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. |
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 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.
PETS presents the papers published in the current volume of the journal Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PoPETs).
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.
This workshop addresses various topics and implications related to the transformation of society through digitalization. Over the span of a short time, the world gained vast access to mobile devices, applications, different social networks and cloud services that require more and more connectivity. Computing systems and digitalization are becoming more pervasive and essential to every facet of our lives.
Despite the increasing comfort and efficiency provided through digitalization, this development has a dark side. Our computer systems increasingly store and process sensitive data. They have become attractive targets of various attacks in the promise land of Internet of Everything: They create new levels of monitoring for collecting user profiles, mass surveillance but also sousveillance through users themselves. With the rising number of users, social networks are becoming anti-social. They are used by terrorists and extremists as platforms for hate messages and incitement, by state actors for propaganda and disinformation, and by criminals for fraud. Our society is still in the middle of understanding the magnitude of digitalization and its effects, while the opportunities of new technologies and negative effects are still expanding at the same time.
In this workshop researchers, experts and practitioners will focus on the impact patterns of the above mentioned consequences through current examples as well as a critical assessment and evaluation of debated solutions.
The state of California has a long standing tradition for landmark and forward-thinking privacy laws, often leading the way in passing new and updating existing privacy standards within the United States.
California was one of the first states to provide an express right of privacy in its constitution, was the first state to enact breach-notification legislation and is currently the only state to require a privacy policy. As a result, many companies use California’s standards as their baseline.
Each year, the California Legislature considers a number of bills on privacy issues that have the potential to impact privacy legislation across the nation.
Join us for an update on California’s privacy legislation.
Speakers include:
Joanne McNabb, Director of Privacy Education and Policy, California Attorney General’s Office
Jeremy Gillula, Senior Staff Technologist, EFF
Samantha Corbin, CEO of Corbin & Kaiser and EFF lobbyist

Privacy & Security Tech Policy for Minority Communities
As mobile devices become smaller and more ubiquitous, healthcare-enabled hardware integrates easier and free social services continue to become more sophisticated our privacy and security settings constantly need to be updated and Terms of Use reviewed. For the average tech user, privacy updates often cross our mind after we’ve fired up our latest gadget and played with it for a while (often after providing personal information). For minority communities, however, we often think about the privacy and security concerns before or while setting up our new app or device. Most minority community members have used tech devices to overcome a lack of communication, self-identification, employment, and education, among other important issues, and have encountered numerous privacy and security vulnerabilities.
Our next event will discuss privacy and security concerns, with a specific focus on minority communities, leveragi
