04/07/17-04/08/17: Workshop on Obfuscation

International Workshop on Obfuscation:  Science, Technology, and Theory

April 7-8, 2017 New York University

Obfuscation strategies offer creative ways to evade surveillance, protect privacy, and improve security by adding, rather than concealing, data to make it more ambiguous and difficult to exploit. This interdisciplinary workshop convenes researchers, scientists, developers, and artists to discuss a broad range of technical, theoretical, and policy approaches to obfuscation, from tools that anonymize users’ social media data to new methods for writing code itself.
