Letter: Computers and privacy.

Letter from the Special Section Editors, Ten Years of Computers, Freedom and Privacy

Ten Years of Computers, Freedom, and Privacy " Four hundred people from every conceivable corner of America's electronic community. As a science ction writer, I have been to some weird gigs in my day, but this thing is truly beyond the pale, " wrote Bruce Sterling about the rst Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference, held in San Francisco in 1991. Jim Warren organized the rst CFP conference...

Differential Privacy on Finite Computers

We consider the problem of designing and analyzing differentially private algorithms that can be implemented on discrete models of computation in strict polynomial time, motivated by known attacks on floating point implementations of real-arithmetic differentially private algorithms (Mironov, CCS 2012) and the potential for timing attacks on expected polynomialtime algorithms. We use a case stu...

Computer Security, Privacy, and DNA Sequencing: Compromising Computers with Synthesized DNA, Privacy Leaks, and More

The rapid improvement in DNA sequencing has sparked a big data revolution in genomic sciences, which has in turn led to a proliferation of bioinformatics tools. To date, these tools have encountered little adversarial pressure. This paper evaluates the robustness of such tools if (or when) adversarial attacks manifest. We demonstrate, for the first time, the synthesis of DNA which — when sequen...

Computers, Privacy and Data Protection: an Element of Choice

Excellent book is always being the best friend for spending little time in your office, night time, bus, and everywhere. It will be a good way to just look, open, and read the book while in that time. As known, experience and skill don't always come with the much money to acquire them. Reading this book with the PDF computers privacy and data protection an element of choice will let you know mo...
