FIT3185 Privacy enhancing technologies

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Define the fundamental concepts of privacy-enhancing technologies, including differential privacy, post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and secure multiparty computation

2. 2

   Apply the principles of differential privacy to design privacy-preserving data collection and analysis techniques, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential while maintaining data utility.

3. 3

   Understand and evaluate post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in real-world scenarios to protect data and communications against potential quantum threats, showcasing proficiency in encryption and digital signatures.

4. 4

   Be familiar with and assess zero-knowledge proofs to enhance privacy of applications such as secure authentication and verification processes.

5. 5

   Create and analyse practical applications of secure multiparty computation, allowing multiple parties to jointly compute results while preserving the privacy of their inputs.

6. 6

   Perform impact and risk assessment to provide responsible expert advice on (Australian) privacy policies, procedures and governance incorporating ethical considerations.

7. 7

   Design and construct privacy-preserving algorithms and solutions by combining multiple privacy-enhancing technologies, demonstrating innovation in solving real-world privacy challenges.
