SECURED Privacy Preservation Tutorial in 5th CPS Summer School at Sardinia, Italy

SECURED project has been invited and will participate in the 5th CyberPhysical Systems (CPS) Summer School in Sardinia Italy (18-22 September 2023) with a specialized Tutorial on Privacy Preservation. In the tutorial, F. Regazzoni, P. Palmiery and A. Fournaris from UvA, UCC and ISI respectively will demonstrate how secure computation techniques including homomorphic encryption can be adopted in constrained settings, and applied to CPSs and medical devices. Students will be introduced to the basic of secure computation and will practice with state of the art libraries used also in SECURED, implementing the presented techniques.
