Abstract: 

Annoyingly, many things can go wrong when it comes to privacy engineering. Even more annoyingly, they often do. To make matters worse, many issues are more complex than mere bugs in the implementation. This talk will address flaws – defects on an architectural or design level – that result in privacy issues. Using real-world examples, we will demonstrate how common flaws lead to undesirable outcomes, and how to intentionally build systems with privacy in mind in order to avoid these flaws when designing a new system or reviewing an existing system.
