  • Abstract
    Are you concerned about the privacy implications of big data; government surveillance; or the ability of social networks, search engines, and online advertisers to amass detailed profiles of individuals? Do you want to use your technical skills to help reverse the trend toward diminishing privacy? Would you like to help find ways to design privacy into products and services without sacrificing functionality or convenience? Do you want to help people take control over their own personal information? If you answered ?yes? to any of these questions, then a career in privacy engineering may be for you.
