Keynote: Improving Privacy on the Web with Law and Computer Science Transdisciplinary Research

Nataliia Bielova, Inria Centre at Université Côte d'Azur Room: Main 9:00-10:00 Abstract: The research in Web Privacy has significantly advanced in the last two decades, aiming to detect and measure the presence and mechanisms behind Web tracking technologies at large scale. Data Protection regulators worldwide have an important capability to improve privacy on the Web by detecting violations of the law and making legally-binding decisions to protect users. In this talk, I will share my approach to privacy from a transdisciplinary perspective combining Computer Science and Law and will highlight the opportunities and challenges in this new research field where combining expertise in different domains can significantly improve privacy of Web users. Bio: Nataliia Bielova is a Tenured Research Scientist at the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) since 2013. She is a privacy expert with a multidisciplinary background in computer science and law, and investigating privacy and data protection on the Web. She is the recipient of a Young Researcher Award from the French National Research Agency (ANR) in 2018, Inria Doctoral Supervision and Research award in 2017 and 2021, Best of ACM CHI Honorable Mention award in 2021, and Rising Star award by Women at Privacy in 2023. During 2021-2022, she was a Senior Privacy Fellow at the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL).

Keynote: Building User-Centred Privacy Enhancing Technologies

Hamed Haddadi, Imperial College London Room: Main 9:00-10:00 Abstract: Researchers and industry practitioners have been building privacy-preserving analytics, data collection, and telemetry techniques for over a decade. However, the rise of interests of the tech industry in consumer analytics and the appetite of governments in citizen surveillance have led to a dichotomy between data collection, privacy, and providing data agency to the individuals. In this walk I will present an overview of the latest techniques and tools for private analytics, their dual-use nature, and potential solutions in designing technologies that caters for, and serve the individual users of modern systems. Bio: Hamed is the Professor of Human-Centred Systems at the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. He also serves as a Security Science Fellow of the Institute for Security Science and Technology. In his industrial role, he is the Chief Scientist at Brave Software where he works on developing privacy-preserving analytics protocols. He is interested in User-Centred Systems, IoT, Applied Machine Learning, and Data Security & Privacy. He enjoys designing and building systems that enable better use of our digital footprint, while respecting users' privacy. https://haddadi.github.io/about/

Keynote: Fighting Back: Science’s Role in Defending Internet Freedom on an Increasingly Censored Planet

Roya Ensafi, University of Michigan Room: Main 9:00-10:00 Abstract: The last decade has seen an alarming spread of network interference and censorship well beyond traditional offenders such as Russia and China. This alarming trend jeopardises Internet freedom for billions of users around the world. To preserve human rights and Internet freedom, the scientific community must step up to bring transparency to such practices, build more effective defensive technologies, and partner with civil society to safeguard users. In this talk, I will share experiences from my work in this critical area as well as highlight key lessons learned and pressing challenges where your expertise and engagement are urgently needed. Bio:  Roya Ensafi is an associate professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Michigan, where her research focuses on Internet security and privacy, with the goal of creating techniques and systems to better protect users online. She is particularly passionate about online censorship, geo-discrimination, surveillance, and related threats to Internet freedom. Prof. Ensafi is the founder of Censored Planet, a global censorship observatory. She has studied Russia’s throttling of Twitter, HTTPS interception in Kazakhstan, and China’s Great Cannon attack, among many other instances of network interference. She is a recipient of the Sloan Research Fellowship, NSF CAREER, Google Faculty Research Award, multiple IRTF Applied Networking Research Prizes, and the Consumer Reports Digital Lab fellowship. Her work has been cited in popular publications such as The New York Times, Newsweek, Business Insider, Wired, and Ars Technica.

Unsafe at any AUC: Unlearned Lessons from Sociotechnical Disasters for Privacy

Joshua Kroll, US Naval Postgraduate School Room: Main 9:10-10:10 Abstract: Man-made catastrophes have been studied for many decades because of the high impact severity of these events: Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Fukushima-Daiichi, Bhopal, the Vajont Dam Collapse, Challenger, the Financial Crash of 2008. A common misconception is that these kinds of events are rare ``freak'' accidents and result from the inherently unforeseeable interactions in complex systems. A closer examination of these disasters reveals that the risks and hazards were well-known beforehand but not acted upon due to social structural, political and economic factors. As computing and data-driven technologies pervade more of society, and are used to manage consequential outcomes, understanding their capabilities, limitations, and attendant risks in context requires analysis of full sociotechnical systems. Sociotechnical analysis of risks in highly complex systems provides clear lessons for the design and evaluation of computing systems, transcending a technical focus on reliable or “responsibly designed” components to understand risks at a systemic level. We outline several ways in which the unlearned lessons of previous catastrophes can inform engineering practice beyond the traditional focus on narrow technical failure, considering especially the social and organizational dynamics that shape decision-making: improving risk perception, communication, and analysis at the organizational level; traceability of requirements and responsibilities; and holistic approaches to responsibility and safety. Bio: Joshua A. Kroll is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Naval Postgraduate School. He studies the relationship between governance, public policy, and computer systems using an interdisciplinary approach. His research focuses on the gap between abstract, values-oriented goals and concrete technical implementation in areas such as information privacy, cybersecurity, and trustworthy and responsible AI. His research group studies how to situate technical decision-making and risk management in a human, organizational, and policy context to bridge from high-level goals to specific, implementable requirements. Joshua's publications have appeared in venues as diverse as law reviews, the IEEE Security & Privacy Symposium, and the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. His paper "Accountable Algorithms" in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review received the Future of Privacy Forum's Privacy Papers for Policymakers Award in 2017. Joshua helped to create and remains an active participant in and organizer of the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. Prior to NPS, Joshua was a postdoctoral researcher at the UC Berkeley School of Information, a systems engineer at the Internet performance and security company Cloudflare, and held the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship during his PhD in Computer Science at Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy.
