  1. Technical Aspects of Privacy Prof. Dr. Michael Waidner Director, Fraunhofer SIT and CASEDProfessor, TU Darmstadt, CSc/CASED/Security in IT Conference on Security of eGovernment Brussels, European Parliament, February 19, 2013

  2. Other services Five Technical Privacy Challenges 2. Purpose Purpose violation User Network • 3. Control • Lack of knowledge • Incorrect data • Unauthorized data • Persistency Service 1. Data Minimization Avoidable digital traces vis-à-vis Service and vis-à-vis Network 5. Anonymous aggregated and inferred data (Re-)identification, continuum of personal date – anonymous data 4. Context Context violation http://www.sit.cased.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Group_SIT/Publications/120227a_GhSW_12.pdf Other users

  3. Crypto 1: Encryption for Confidentiality and Erasure Ready, widely deployed (but not always used and understood correctly) Backup User Service Data encrypted on disk/tape Deleting key = Erasing data http://www.sit.fraunhofer.de/en/fields-of-expertise/projects/omnicloud.html

  4. Crypto 2: Privacy-preserving Attribute-Based Credentials (ABC) Issuer • Efficient • Mature (>10 years) • Smartcard-ready • Limited commercialavailability Ready for commercial use Relying Party User IBM Identity Mixer (Damgård ... Camenisch, Lysyanskaya 2001) Microsoft UProve(Chaum ... Brands 1999)

  5. Crypto 3: Crypto + HW for Privacy-preserving Computations Ready for prototyping ObliviAd(Backes, Kate, Maffei, Pecina, 2013)

  6. Crypto 4: Extending Control “Into the Cloud” Computes enc(F(data)) without the ability to decrypt enc(data). enc(data) enc(F(data)) Ready for small and special cases Needs more research Most recent breakthrough: Fully Homomorphic Encryption (Gentry, 2008)

  7. Proposed EU Regulation is an Important Step Forward • 1. Demonstrate positive impact on innovation and prosperity • Inventory of business ideas and capabilities supporting privacy • 4. Privacy by Design needs specificity • Use cases, ref architectures, design tools • 2. Mandate and enable informed consent • Automation: Privacy Agents • Transparency: personal data management, automated analysis and nutrition labels, incident disclosure • Fair and demonstrably justified preauthorization • 3. Eroding difference between personal & anonymized data • Consider final impact on individual http://www.zeit.de/digital/datenschutz/2013-02/stellungnahme-datenschutz-professoren/komplettansicht

  8. Other services Many Open Questions in Need of Research and Development 2. Purpose Purpose violation User Network • 3.
