Fundamentals of Cryptographic Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)

Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) comprise a long-standing and wide-ranging field of research, technologies, and solutions, which seek to address core data protection concepts such as online privacy, data protection by design, data minimisation and data security. In parallel, they aim to realise and unlock the value of data within the limits of applicable laws and regulations. PETs are also at the forefront of Digital Trust.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of commonly discussed modern PETs which protect data via cryptographic methods, in the context of organisations applying such technologies to process personal data (a companion course addresses PETs which deal with data processing). It introduces the concepts at an easily understandable level, compares their pros and cons against other PETs, and raises known issues and limitations. The course includes several exercises and demonstrations aimed at strengthening participants’ understanding. As it is targeted at decision makers, managers, and system designers, it does not require advanced knowledge of mathematics or programming skills.

Who should attend?

  • Privacy Engineers / Technical staff / Developers / Data Analysts / Project Managers / Data Architects
  • Data Protection Officers (DPOs) / Compliance Professionals / In-house counsel
  • Executives and staff involved in the use, management, and protection of an organisation’s information and data
