Towards practical privacy-preserving protocols

Abstract Protecting users’ privacy in digital systems becomes more complex and challenging over time, as the amount of stored exchanged data grows steadily become increasingly involved connected. Two techniques that try to approach this issue are privacy-preserving protocols secure multi-party computation (MPC) private information retrieval (PIR), which aim enable practical while simultaneously keeping sensitive private. In dissertation [Daniel Demmler. “Towards Practical Privacy-Preserving Protocols”. Diss. Darmstadt: Technische Universität, 2018. url : http://tuprints.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/8605/ ], summarized article, we present results showing how real-world applications can be executed a way. This is not only desired by users such applications, but since 2018 also based on strong legal foundation with GDPR European Union, enforces protection user design.
