Privacy and Identity Management for Europe (PRIME)
| Date | Monday, July 21, 2008 (full day) |
| Registration fee | € 35 (Registration is open) |
| Registration includes | Lunch and reception in the evening |
The PRIME Project presents the results of its research and development during the PRIME Closing Event in Leuven.
Within PRIME, basic models have been developed for the architecture of identity management and for supporting cryptographic methods. With easy to understand scenarios PRIME’s White Papers and online tutorials describe the concepts for laymen and experts.
Beside the conceptual design PRIME focused also on developing demonstrators. Core of the project is the integrated prototype. Alongside several application prototypes were developed which will likewise be presented at the Closing Event.

Advanced Applications for Electronic Identity Cards (ADAPID)
| Date | Tuesday, July 22, 2008 (morning) |
| Registration fee | FREE - send an email to adapid-events@esat.kuleuven.be to register |
| Registration includes | Coffee break |
This workshop is organized to present the results of the third year of the IWT ADAPID project to the public. The aims of the ADAPID project are
- to develop a framework for secure and privacy-preserving applications based on the Belgian e-ID card, focusing mainly on e-government, e-health and trusted archiving applications, and taking into account both technical and legal aspects
- to investigate technologies for future enhanced generations of the e-ID card
The workshop will consist of four talks by ADAPID members describing some of the basic research done within the project, and an invited talk by Thomas Heydt-Benjamin (IBM Research Zürich).
More information about ADAPID is available here.
Future of Identity in the Information Society (FIDIS)
| Date | Tuesday, July 22, 2008 (afternoon) |
| Registration fee | FREE |
| Registration includes | Coffee break |
This is a working session of FIDIS Workpackage 13, open also to non-FIDIS
participants. The aim is to discuss and lay the basic structure of an experiment
in a selected area of privacy, like the location privacy study in 2006. The 2006
Study on the value of location privacy (FIDIS deliverable 13.5) focused on the
price of location privacy of individuals using mobile phones. There were 1200
active participants from five EU countries in our experiment. We used tools from
experimental psychology and economics to assess the value that users attach to
their location data. (A Study on The Value of Location Privacy,
Cvrcek-Kumpost-Matyas-Danezis, Fifth ACM Workshop on Privacy in the Electronic
Society, 2006.)
We shall devise and undertake an experiment in at least three, but ideally 5-7
European (FIDIS member) countries to value another aspect of privacy
than the location privacy examined in the 2006 experiment. This workshop on July
22nd in Leuven should lead to the basic design of a new experiment.

Workshop on Trustworthy Elections (WOTE 2008)
| Date | Tuesday and Wednesday, July 22-23, 2008 |
| Registration fee (WOTE only) | € 170 (early bird), € 220 (late registration) - Registration is open |
| Registration includes (WOTE only) | Lunches on Tue and Wed. Reception on Tue. Gala dinner (optional) on Wed. WOTE proceedings |
| Registration fee (PETS and WOTE) | € 310 (early bird), € 410 (late registration) - Registration is open |
| Registration includes (PETS and WOTE) | Lunches on Tue-Fri. Reception on Tue. Gala dinner (optional) on Wed. PETS and WOTE proceedings |
| Optional Gala Dinner | Registration for the Gala dinner will be optional. If you un-register, the fee will be € 40 cheaper. |
The Workshop on Trustworthy Elections is organized by IAVoSS, the International Association for Voting Systems Sciences, in association with the 8th Workshop on Privacy Enhancing Technologies. It follows in the tradition of the series of workshops devoted to cryptographic voting methods, such as WOTE '01, the DIMACS Workshop 2004, FEE 2005, the NeSC Workshop on e-voting and e-democracy, WOTE 2006, WOTE 2007 and FEV 2007.
The workshop will consist of invited keynote presentations and contributed presentations. Panel discussions are also anticipated and submissions of suitable topics, with or without a moderator or example participants are welcome. Accepted papers, abstracts and panel proposals will appear online.
A separate category of presentations, Informal Communications, encourages preliminary ideas or status updates and requires only a short summary be submitted that may even relate to submissions to other conferences.

The 8th Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium will bring together anonymity and privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives in privacy for the Internet and other communication networks.
The symposium 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.
