Learn, Apply, Comply: Development of Continuing Education Materials on Privacy-Enhancing Technologies

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

With the ever-increasing amount of personal data that is being collected, shared and analyzed, data privacy continues to be a big concern. Governments, researchers, and businesses often use sensitive data of one type or another in order to facilitate research or create business value and are required to do so in strict compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR.

To tackle the technical side of privacy compliance, numerous Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) such as Differential Privacy, Federated Learning, Homomorphic Encryption, and others have emerged, which enable the processing and sharing of sensitive data in a way that would allow deriving value from it but would not compromise data privacy.

Despite the great potential of these technologies, many organizations are still reluctant to use them due to their complexity, as well as the lack of understanding and awareness of modern PETs. In this project, we analyze the challenges organizations face in the process of implementing technical measures for data privacy compliance and develop continuing learning education materials on Privacy-Enhancing Technologies, with the aim to support their adoption in practice.
