 Workshop on Privacy Enhancing Technologies

Hotel Elbflorenz Dresden, Germany      26 - 28 March   2003

Privacy and anonymity are increasingly important in the online world. Corporations and governments are starting to realize their power to track users and their behavior, and restrict the ability to publish or retrieve documents. Approaches to protecting individuals, groups, and even companies and governments from such profiling and censorship have included decentralization, encryption, and distributed trust.

Building on the success of the first anonymity and unobservability workshop (LNCS 2009, held in Berkeley in July 2000) and the second workshop (LNCS 2482, held in San Francisco in April 2002), this third workshop addresses the design and realization of such privacy and anti-censorship services for the Internet and other communication networks. These workshops bring together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives.

The workshop seeks submissions from academia and industry presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of privacy technologies, as well as experimental studies of fielded systems. We encourage submissions from other communities such as law and business that present their perspectives on technological issues. As in past years, we will publish proceedings with LNCS after the workshop.


 Registration

Registration for PET2003 will cost 400 EUR (250 EUR for students). Be sure to register before February 20 to get this price. You can pay it via bank transfer or a personal check in Euros. For Americans, if you don't like the above options the current best option is to collect cash at the airport and bring it to the workshop. See the registration page for the details.


 Stipends

If all goes well, we will have some stipends available, to help offset costs for students, unemployed researchers, etc. See the stipends page for the details.
