Privacy in Computations and Communications
We use the Internet for all forms of communications and data-driven applications today. Existing systems and solutions that are widely used, often fail to protect its users' privacy. In this seminar, we will first examine different techniques and building blocks that can facilitate digital privacy. We will then explore recent designs for privacy-preserving systems for data processing and communications. Over the course of the seminar, students will read, review, and present exciting research papers that span privacy enhancing technologies (PETS) and applied cryptography.
The seminar will begin with two instructor lead sessions that will provide a high-level overview of the topics and relevant background. Following weeks will be student presentations and discussions. As part of the seminar, each student will present one or two research papers in a 25 minute, conference-style talk, and lead a 30 minute discussion on their paper; and write reviews on papers presented by their peers. In addition, students will also work on a research project on a topic (ideally based on or related to the papers they present) over the course of the seminar and present their progress and hand in a project report towards the end of the seminar.
Requirements:
