We are accepting case study talks on the following topics: Architecture: REST API design for Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Libraries used. For e.g., how Twilio does PII compliance where fields are marked as privacy sensitive or not. expand

We are accepting case study talks on the following topics:

  1. Architecture:
  • REST API design for Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
  • Libraries used. For e.g., how Twilio does PII compliance where fields are marked as privacy sensitive or not.
  • Data collection patterns.
  • Data science aspects of data management including anonymization, masking, etc.
  • Development practices and precautions that are privacy-centric.
  1. Engineering and operations processes, including DevOps, and hand-off points from check-in to release; multiple processes that every functional team has to follow for compliance.

  2. Design and UX - if you are doing privacy-first development, how are you doing design, in terms of:

  • What is the data that is collected?
  • How is the data collected?
  • Design and UX of consent management practices.
  • What is the design language and templates you have evolved that will help other practitioners to learn from? For e.g., use of dark patterns.
  • Reusable libraries, design language, design templates.
  1. Process case studies:
  • How compliance is done, with emphasis on organization structure, how teams communicate, cost (budget), and why this approach is justified.
  • Cross-functional and cross-geography compliance done by SaaS companies. For example, data privacy in Distributed Cloud environments i.e., data moving between data centres for multi region setups; what laws apply?
  • Incident reporting processes and practices; dealing with data vulnerabilities and security-related threats.

Apart from large-scale internet organizations, we encourage fintech and next generation startups to submit case studies.

Content can be submitted in the form of:

  • 15 minute talks
  • 30 minute talks
  • 1,000 word written articles

All content will be peer-reviewed by practitioners from industry.

The mainstream focus on personal and sensitive data generally tends to be on social media and communications platforms. The public understanding of how personal data flows through heavily regulated organisations such as banks and stock brokers is limited. In fact, such organisations are mandated by laws and regulations to share data with more parties than their unregulated counterparts. This talk… more

End-to-end encryption: State of the Technical and Policy Debate

Over the past decade, end-to-end encryption (E2EE) has been widely deployed in electronic messaging applications, including WhatsApp, Signal, Apple iMessage and others. This form of messaging ensures that information is encrypted from an end-user device (such as a phone) and remains encrypted until it reaches the destination. A key benefit of E2EE is that it protects messages from server-side hac… more

Closing keynote: Is NetworkOps Dead in the Age of Cloud?

It’s been said that the number of clues remains constant even as some field of expertise expands. This may sometimes be the outgoing generation accusing the incoming generation of being soft or lazy, and indeed it has also been said that progress in most fields occurs one obituary at a time. What we know for certain is that skills for which demand is not growing, become less common. Maybe some ma… more

Netbanking fails

Security is hard. Designing user experience (UX) around security is harder. Yet almost everyday, we are forced to make security related decisions across multiple connected devices we own. Sometimes we make these choices for ourselves, and sometime we impose our choices subtly on others with whom we share these devices. Proliferation of personal IoT devices exacerbates this problem, and in some ca… more

Compliance serves as beacon of transparency and conveys confidence to your customers t… more
