The course provides a comprehensive overview of the field of “Privacy Engineering” and in-depth knowledge on technical concepts and mechanisms for achieving non-technical (legal, ethical, …) privacy goals. It builds upon state-of-the-art in privacy-related technologies combined with solid foundational knowledge from other domains and explores advancements over the existing state of Privacy Engineering through new theoretical insights and applied research.
Covered topics, concepts and technologies particularly include:
- Foundations of Privacy (historical & philosophical)
- Privacy Law (EU-GDPR etc.)
- Privacy by Design, Privacy Engineering & respective Methods / Frameworks
- Advanced Privacy Concepts (e.g., Usable Privacy, Behavioral Privacy, Privacy Economics, etc.)
- Broad range of constantly emerging state-of-the-art privacy technologies (e.g., cryptographic foundations, k-anonymity, l-diversity, P3P, XACML, sticky policies, property-preserving encryption, secure multiparty computation, blockchain technologies, …)
- Structured performance / effort evaluation
