Dear Colleague,

you are cordially invited to attend this year's edition of ``CWI in 
Business,''
co-billed as a RISC seminar. The event is organized by CWI Cryptology 
Group, in collaboration with TNO.

It takes place on *Monday, September 13, 1000h-1245h* (NL-time).

The theme is ``Secure Multi-party Computation.''

Our *keynote speaker* is *Dr. Marcel Keller* (CSIRO, Sydney), who will 
talk about his widely-used
  open-source MPC-package called MP-SPDZ.

For access, registration is required.
The registration link is found on the event-website:

PROGRAM:
========

The scientific area of secure multi-party computation offers a 
cryptographic approach for privacy-protecting secure data sharing and 
-processing. This area is gaining worldwide recognition as a potential 
solution to an increasing number of applications, for instance in health 
and finance.



During the last decade, many scientific results contributed to 
significant improvements of the efficiency of these techniques, thereby 
bringing MPC further towards maturity. On the other hand, the 
development of big data and artificial intelligence has established a 
growing need for secure data analysis mechanisms on distributed 
sensitive data. A further incentive is given by the requirements of the 
European privacy laws (GDPR).



During this event, we will give a scientific overview of the field, and 
present a number of use cases that were solved by means of MPC. We will 
touch on the entire spectrum from fundamental and applied research to 
applications and spin-offs.
