Privacy, The Internet of Things (IOT) and Metadata - Dr Robin Kravets and Dr Madelyn Sanfilippo

1. Maintaining Private Communication for IoT Applications

2. Metadata Privacy and Governance 

When people consider privacy, they often think about sensitive categorical data, such as educational or medical records. Yet metadata (the data that describes that data), and its lifecycle from collection, to organization, to storage and retention to access, to use, is similarly personal and often overlooked in policy-making and governance decisions. Dr. Sanfilippo will offer an overview of metadata: differentiating among descriptive, structural, administrative, reference, and statistical metadata. She will discuss its privacy implications in research, social media, emergencies, public spaces, and education.
