Wearable Activity Trackers and Privacy: Assessment of the Risks, Threats, and Countermeasures

All members of the department are welcome: undergraduates, postgraduates, postdocs, teaching staff, technical staff - anyone who would like to attend and learn a little bit about what our speakers do in their research career. Members from other disciplines within the School, and the wider University community, are also welcome to attend.

All PhD students in Chemistry are expected to attend as part of their PhD training.

Wearable Activity Trackers and Privacy: Assessment of the Risks, Threats, and Countermeasures
-

This is a past event

Join us for an enlightening session with Dr. Noé Zufferey, postdoctoral fellow at the University of Lausanne as he delves into the privacy threats related to the use of wearable activity trackers.

Wearable devices, such as wearable activity trackers (WATs), are increasing in popularity. Although they can help improve a person's quality of life, they also raise serious privacy issues. In this seminar, Dr. Noé Zufferey will present you his research about:

  • what are the understanding and behavior of WAT users towards data sharing, especially with third-party apps.
  • how such data can be used to infer users' personal attributes
  • what type of privacy enhancing technologies can be proposed to mitigate the threats
