BD Spokes: PLANNING: NORTHEAST: Collaborative: Planning for Privacy and Security in Big Data

安全和隐私在健康、能源和智慧城市等领域发挥着关键作用，同时也构成了一个巨大的挑战。隐私和安全是实现大数据推动社会发展的关键。如果数据的使用不考虑个人隐私或数据保护，那么个人可能会受到伤害。如果不能保证数据的真实性，或者出于隐私和安全考虑根本不允许使用数据，那么数据的价值就无法实现。随着收集到的关于我们的信息在数量、科学价值和商业价值以及敏感性方面的增长，应对这些挑战对于获取大数据的好处，同时确保隐私和相关的基本权利（如言论自由和结社自由）得到尊重至关重要。本规划项目将通过DIMACS主办的两次研讨会，推进大数据隐私与安全的研究议程，建立一个感兴趣的研究人员和从业者社区，并提出与东北大数据中心相关的安全和隐私区域活动。该项目的长期愿景是促进大数据隐私和安全方面的基础和实际进展，从而能够通过以下方式对社会产生积极影响：(1)扩大个人对个人数据保护的控制程度；(2)利用数据的价值促进健康、能源、智慧城市和地区、金融和教育等领域的进步。第一个活动是“克服包括隐私和公平在内的数据共享障碍”研讨会，将汇集计算机科学家、法律学者、社会科学家和数据消费者，了解隐私目前在多大程度上限制了数据共享，包括但不限于研究数据，并制定标准和最佳实践，以实现从医疗保健到能源等领域的新信息流。第二个活动是“东北BD中心大数据隐私和安全研讨会”，将汇集隐私和安全专家以及各种大数据应用领域的专家，重点介绍与东北大数据中心每个辐条相关的隐私和安全问题。预期的项目成果包括广泛参与，发展新的合作和伙伴关系，制作和传播教程和谈话视频，以及关于计划活动和潜在最佳做法的报告。该奖项由CISE计算机和网络系统（CNS）安全与可信计算（SaTC）计划部门共同资助。

Security and privacy play a key role in areas such as health, energy, and smart cities, as well as constituting a grand challenge in and of themselves. Privacy and security are critical for realizing Big Data's promise to advance society. If data are used without regard to privacy of individuals or protection of the data, then individuals may be hurt. If the data's authenticity is not guaranteed, or if data are not permitted to be used at all due to privacy and security concerns, then the data's value is not realized. As the information that is collected about us grows in quantity, scientific and commercial value, and sensitivity, addressing these challenges is crucial to accessing the benefits of big data while ensuring that privacy and associated basic rights such as free speech and association are respected. Through two workshops hosted by DIMACS, this planning project will advance the research agenda on privacy and security for big data, build a community of interested researchers and practitioners, and propose regional activities in security and privacy related to the Northeast Big Data Hub. The long-term vision of the project is to catalyze both foundational and practical advances in privacy and security for big data that have the ability to positively impact society by (1) expanding the extent to which individuals can have control over protection of their personal data, and (2) enabling data's value to be harnessed for advances in areas including health, energy, smart cities and regions, finance, and education. The first event, a workshop on "Overcoming Barriers to Data Sharing including Privacy and Fairness", will bring together computer scientists, legal scholars, social scientists, and consumers of data to understand the extent to which privacy currently limits the sharing of data, including but not limited to research data, and to develop standards and best practices to enable new information flows in domains from healthcare to energy. The second event, the "NE BD Hub Workshop on Privacy and Security for Big Data", will bring together privacy and security experts as well as experts in a variety of big data application areas to highlight privacy and security issues associated with each of the Northeast Big Data hub spokes. Expected project outcomes include broad participation, development of new collaborations and partnerships, production and dissemination of tutorial and talk videos, and reports on planned activities and potential best practices.This award is co-funded by the CISE Division of Computer and Network Systems (CNS) Secure and Trustworthy Computing (SaTC) Program.
