DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nWhen using the Internet\, we reveal much personal in
 formation both willingly and inadvertently.\nCompanies use this informatio
 n for targeted advertisement and thereby to finance the services they offe
 r to users. The mechanisms used today to protect users’ personal informa
 tion are lacking\, resulting in far too frequent privacy and security brea
 ches that put the users at risk. In this talk we argue that applications o
 n the Internet should be built with privacy and security as a mandatory re
 quirement\, then provide an overview of the state of the art in privacy-en
 hancing mechanisms\, have a brief look at the legal landscape and trends\,
  and then conclude with a roadmap towards a privacy-enhanced digital world
  and pointing out a number of  challenges that need to be solved.\n\nBiog
 raphy \nJan Camenisch received a Diploma in Electrical Engineering in 1993
  and a Ph.D. in Computer Science in 1998 both from ETH Zurich. From 1998 u
 ntil 1999 he has been Research Assistant Professor in Computer Science at 
 the University of Aarhus\, Denmark. Since 1999 he is Research Staff Member
  and project leader at IBM Research -- Zurich. He was also the technical l
 eader of the EU-funded projects PRIME (prime-project.eu) and PrimeLife (pr
 imelife.eu) which both contributed towards making on-line privacy a realit
 y and is currently involved with ABC4Trust (abc4trust.eu) and FutureID (fu
 tureID.eu).\nHis research interests include public key cryptography\; cryp
 tographic protocols\, in particular those supporting privacy and anonymity
 \; practical secure distributed computation\; and privacy-enhancing techno
 logies.
