Privacy
In a world driven by data, privacy is no longer optional — it is essential. At the Center for Forensics, Biometrics and Privacy (CFBP), our work in privacy focuses on designing technologies and frameworks that protect personal data while enabling innovation, transparency, and legal compliance.
We approach privacy from both technical and ethical perspectives, ensuring that digital systems respect user rights and are aligned with data protection regulations.
Research Focus
Our research in privacy engineering explores methods and tools that embed privacy into system design from the very beginning — not as an afterthought.
Core topics include: Privacy-by-design and privacy-by-default methodologies Data anonymization, pseudonymization, and minimization techniques Synthetic data generation for secure analytics Privacy impact assessments (PIA) and risk modeling Privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), including secure multi-party computation and homomorphic encryption Regulatory compliance support
Our Capabilities
We develop practical tools, guidelines, and open-access educational resources to help organizations implement privacy-conscious systems. Our capabilities include: Prototyping of privacy-enhancing applications Development of training content and privacy simulation environments Privacy assessments and technical consulting for digital services Collaborative research with institutions working on privacy governance, ethics, and law
Teaching and Student Involvement
Privacy is not just a compliance requirement — it’s a mindset. We actively engage students in: Privacy-focused thesis topics Applied research on anonymization and ethical data use Development of privacy tools and simulations Collaborative workshops on GDPR and digital ethics
