2006 PRIVACY DAY
Wednesday, July 12th 2006
Weizmann Institute of Science
Privacy is
like oxygen. We really appreciate it only when it is gone.
Government agencies and statistical bureaus have long been
collecting large data sets on individuals. Nowadays, massive amounts of
data are also gathered by private enterprises, and an ever-increasing
amount of data is made available in digital form, and often accessible
via a network. This of course raises the need for privacy-preserving
techniques and methodologies. Such techniques have
been
considered in various disciplines, including statistics, cryptography and
databases.
The aim of the privacy day is to bring together researchers
from these disciplines and examine the emerging issues.
The meeting will be held on July 12, 2006 at the Weizmann Institute
(Lecture Room 1,
Ziskind - the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science building).
This would be an informal workshop in which it should be
possible to present and discuss
definitions, results, and open questions in this area.
.
This workshop is supported by the Arthur and Rochelle Belfer
Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science
at the Weizmann Institute.
This announcement serves as an entry permit to the Weizmann
Institute.
