The International Workshop on Privacy, Security, IT and the Law
to be held in conjunction with the 9th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security
(ARES 2014 – http://www.ares-conference.eu)
8th – 12th September 2014
University of Fribourg, Switzerland
Fribourg, Switzerland
In a world where the processing of personal data of all kinds is increasing at an enormous speed, data protection gets more and more important. Privacy and data protection cannot be thought without information security. In a digital world information security is an indispensable means to ensure privacy of information which is stored or being processed or transmitted. But it is important to note that data protection and information security are not the same: Ensuring data protection requires more than ‘only’ properly securing the data. Hence a specific but not separate perspective of privacy has to be taken. This is the purpose of The International Workshop on Privacy, Security, IT and the Law which aims to bringing together international legal and data protection researchers with the information security research community to the benefit for both fields.
Topics of interest comprise but are not limited to:
| Legal aspects of information security The relationship of privacy and information security Data protection in security research Legal implications of anonymisation/deanonymisation Privacy by Design (PbD, integration of privacy into the software development process) Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) Privacy impact assessments (PIAs) |
Security requirements in data protection legislation Privacy aspects of smart systems and profiling Automated consent in data protection Privacy aspects of identity management Legal aspects of Big Data Legal aspects of Cloud Computing Legal aspects of social networks |
however, all contributions should have a legal focus.
