On 6 and 7 February the Cryptology group of CWI and TNO organize a symposium in The Hague on privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) for secure data sharing. Registration is mandatory.
This event is under the umbrella of the Data Sharing Festival. It will be a match-making event, interesting for new and experienced users, regulators, privacy officers, public and private companies.
The Data Sharing Festival is a creative partnership between TNO, CWI, BDI, CoE-DSC, IDSA and Ministerie van Infrastructuur en Waterstaat, inspired by their shared goal.
Registration is mandatory. Please register here by Friday 2 February noon.

Huaxiong Wang (NTU Singapore): Privacy preserving and digital trust technologies
In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to two research centers at Nanyang Technological University: Strategic Centre for Research in Privacy-Preserving Technologies & Systems (SCRIPTS) and The Digital Trust Centre (DTC), funded by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and the National Research Foundation (NRF), Singapore.
Berry Schoenmakers (TU/e): Recent developments in MP(y)C
MPyC is a Python package introduced in 2018 as a versatile framework for programming MPC solutions. We will discuss aspects of secure multiparty computation taking the development of MPyC as primary example. We will highlight developments in usability, security, performance, deployment of MPyC typical for the wider developments in MPC.
Marten van Dijk (CWI & VU): Data Sharing for training ML models with privacy in mind
Differential private (DP) optimization methods allow parties to collaborate on training a global machine learning model based on local private data. We will explain why using DP to achieve meaningful privacy guarantees significantly hurts accuracy of the final model. We will discuss a recent (2023) development called PAC Privacy (by H. Xiao and S. Devadas) as a proper alternative.
