As smart meters continue to be deployed around the world collecting unprecedented levels of fine-grained data about consumers, we need to find mechanisms that are fair to both, (1) the electric utility who needs the data to improve their…
We study statistical risk minimization problems under a privacy model in which the data is kept confidential even from the learner. In this local privacy framework, we establish sharp upper and lower bounds on the convergence rates of…
In recent years, many proposals have arisen from research on privacy in smart metering. In one of the considered approaches, referred to as anonymization, smart meters transmit fine-grained electricity consumption values in such a way that…
The Solid specification aims to empower data subjects by giving them direct access control over their data across multiple applications. As governments are manifesting their interest in this framework for citizen empowerment and…
Cloud computing comes with a lot of advanced features along with privacy and security problem. Smart meter data takes the benefit of cloud computing in the smart grid. User's privacy can be compromised by analyzing the smart meter data…
Analyzing privacy threats in software products is an essential part of software development to ensure systems are privacy-respecting; yet it is still a far from trivial activity. While there have been many advancements in the past decade,…
Privacy policies are expected to inform data subjects about their data protection rights and should explain the data controller's data management practices. Privacy policies only fulfill their purpose, if they are correctly interpreted,…
The wide adoption of wearable smart devices with onboard cameras greatly increases people's concern on privacy infringement. Here we explore the possibility of easing persons from photos captured by smart devices according to their privacy…
This chapter introduces the Accountability Principle and its role in data protection governance. We focus on what accountability means in the context of cybersecurity management in smart homes, considering the EU General Data Protection Law…
The reliance of Large Language Models and Internet of Things systems on massive, globally distributed data flows creates systemic security and privacy challenges. When data traverses borders, it becomes subject to conflicting legal regimes,…
Internet of Things (IoT) applications typically collect and analyse personal data that can be used to derive sensitive information about individuals. However, thus far, privacy concerns have not been explicitly considered in software…
Today's massive scale of data collection coupled with recent surges of consumer data leaks has led to increased attention towards data privacy and related risks. Conventional data privacy protection systems focus on reducing custodial risk…
Current day software development relies heavily on the use of service architectures and on agile iterative development methods to design, implement, and deploy systems. These practices result in systems made up of multiple services that…
Decentralized systems are a subset of distributed systems where multiple authorities control different components and no authority is fully trusted by all. This implies that any component in a decentralized system is potentially…
Smart devices are becoming inseparable from daily lives and are improving fast for providing intelligent services and remote monitoring and control. In order to provide personalized and customized services more personal data collection is…
There is much discussion and debate about how to improve the security and privacy of mobile communication systems, both voice and data. Most proposals attempt to provide incremental improvements to systems that are deployed today. Indeed,…
It is important for organisations to ensure that their privacy policies are General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliant, and this has to be done by the May 2018 deadline. However, it is also important for these policies to be…
Regulations for privacy protection aim to protect individuals from the unauthorized storage, processing, and transfer of their personal data but oftentimes fail in providing helpful support for understanding these regulations. To better…
The metaverse promises unprecedented immersive digital experiences but also raises critical privacy concerns as vast amounts of personal and behavioral data are collected. As immersive technologies blur the boundaries between physical and…
Privacy concerns have led to the development of privacy-preserving approaches for learning models from sensitive data. Yet, in practice, even models learned with privacy guarantees can inadvertently memorize unique training examples or leak…
