DESCRIPTION:Wouter Lueks\, postdoctoral researcher in Security and Privacy
  Engineering Lab\, EPFL\nThe EDIC program is happy to invite you to the pu
 blic talk by our postdoctoral researcher at EPFL Wouter Lueks.\nThe aim of
  the talk is to present his achievements to a broad audience to prepare fo
 r hiring interviews coming up soon. Be sure to join\, listen to the talk a
 nd participate in the Q&A session at the end of the presentation.\n\nAbstr
 act\nDigital technology creates risks to people's privacy in ways that did
  not exist before. I design end-to-end private systems to mitigate these r
 eal-world privacy risks. In this talk I will discuss my designs for two ap
 plications. These applications highlight key aspects of my work: I analyse
  security\, privacy\, and deployment requirements\; and address these requ
 irements by designing new cryptographic primitives and system architecture
 s.\n\nIn the first part of this talk\, I will focus on my DP-3T and CrowdN
 otifier designs for digital proximity and presence tracing that help mitig
 ate the COVID-19 pandemic. These designs combine novel cryptographic primi
 tives and communication systems to protect users’ privacy. The DP3T prot
 ocol and CrowdNotifier have been deployed to millions of phones. In the se
 cond part of this talk\, I will present DatashareNetwork\, a document sear
 ch system for investigative journalists that enables them to locate releva
 nt documents for their investigations. DatashareNetwork combines a novel m
 ulti-set private set intersection primitive with anonymous communication a
 nd authentication systems to create a decentralised and privacy-friendly d
 ocument search system.\n\nBio\nWouter Lueks is a postdoctoral researcher a
 t EPFL in Lausanne where he works with Carmela Troncoso. He designs privac
 y-friendly systems. His research interests include privacy\, applied crypt
 ography\, and systems. His work has real-world impact. For instance\, his 
 designs for privacy-friendly contact tracing have been deployed in million
 s of phones around the world\, and his secure document search system is be
 ing deployed by a large organisation for investigative journalists.\n\n\n
