Beschreibung
The course is aimed at students with an interest in learning about methods of transforming data to protect against sensitive data exposure without having to resort to encrypting the data. As such these methods are centered on techniques that transform the data to eliminate personal identification information, for data protection, while maintaining data integrity and consistency to support data processing and/or sharing operations. The tendency is to assume that the GDPR legislation is the reason for the importance of this topic, however the question of how to share or make data available for use in a privacy preserving manner, has been at the crux of research on data privacy. Applications emerge in almost every domain involving sensitive data processing, but ones students might relate to include data analytics in the healthcare, cyber-physicial systems (e.g. smart homes, ...), image processing, and service/content personalisation domains.
The goal of the course is to bring the students abreast with the state-of-the-art on methods of transforming data to enable privacy preserving data analytics. As such, throughout this course, we will discuss various algorithms and architectures for data privacy focusing on their strengths in terms of privacy preservation, and weaknesses in terms of their vulnerabilities to sensitive data exposure; relating this to global legislature on the subject of data privacy. Topics covered will include: data anonymisation, identifiability of data, record linkage, de-identification, privacy preserving data analytics; and data protection legislation.

Lern- und Lehrformen
- Understand the data privacy concepts, and definitions
- Learn to critically analyse data privacy algorithms and architectures in relation to data protection
- Learn to identify the advantages and disadvantages of privacy preserving algorithms in relation to potential de-anonymisation loopholes
- Aquire hands-on experience with re-identifying individuals from seemingly anonymous or innocent data
- Learn to develop and assess privacy protocols, algorithms, and anonymity protection schemes to prevent inferences in shared data.
Leistungserfassung
Grading will be based on an exam and a presentation. A selection pf presentation topics will be provided from which choices maybe made, but topic propositions are also acceptable provided these are discussed and agreed upon beforehand with the lecturer. The exam grade will count for 70% of the final score, while the presentation will count for 30%.
| Rubric | Number | When? and Where? | Grade % |
| Presentations | 1 / person | 07.01 - 04.02.2020 (H-2.58) | 30% |
| Exam | 1 | 11.02.2020 (H-2.58) | 70% |
Termine
Lectures will hold once a week, on Tuesdays, 13.30 - 15.00 in H-2.58.
