International Workshop on Advances on Privacy Preserving Technologies and Solutions (IWAPS 2021)
to be held in conjunction with the 16th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
(ARES 2021 –
http://www.ares-conference.eu
)
August 17 – August 20, 2021
The availability of massive amounts of data, coupled with high-performance cloud computing platforms, has driven significant progress in artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning and optimization. It has profoundly impacted several areas, including computer vision, natural language processing, and transportation. However, the use of rich data sets also raises significant privacy concerns: They often reveal personal sensitive information that can be exploited, without the knowledge and/or consent of the involved individuals, for various purposes including monitoring, discrimination, and illegal activities.
This workshop aims to promote discussions of research and relevant activities in the models and design of secure, privacy-preserving, or trust architectures, data analyses and fusion platforms, protocols, algorithms, services, and applications for next generation systems and solutions. We especially encourage security and privacy solutions that employ innovative machine learning techniques to tackle the issues of data volume and variety problems that are systemic in IoT platforms, theoretical and practical challenges related to the design of privacy-preserving AI systems and algorithms and will have strong multidisciplinary components, including soliciting contributions about policy, legal issues, and societal impact of privacy.
The workshop is to provide a high-profile, leading-edge forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present and discuss latest advances and innovations in theories, infrastructure, schemes, and applications for secure computation and privacy technologies, as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future.
The workshop is co-organized from the following H2020 R&D projects:
- OLYMPUS
- INCOGNITO
- ERATOSTHENES (to start in October 2021)
- CyberSec4Europe
Topics of interest comprise but are not limited to:
Architectures and protocols for scalable, secure, robust and privacy enhancing technologies
Security and privacy frameworks
Cryptographic approaches for security and privacy
Trust frameworks and management models for IoT
