Security and Privacy has become one of the most important aspect of computing. The advent of Artificial Intelligence as an emerging technology attaches the user view for protection of privacy in daily lives. The risk of data breaches are simply too great to allow individuals to rely on passwords to ensure that their data remains secure. Addressing privacy and security in digital development involves careful consideration of which data are collected and how data are acquired, used, stored and shared. Privacy and security is gaining momentum in the research community due to emerging technologies like Cloud and mobile Computing, IoT, analytics engines social networks and many more. In response of this novel research challenge, several privacy and techniques and algorithms have been proposed recently, mostly adhering to algorithmic paradigms or model-oriented paradigms.

Gartner, the leading research and advisory company predicted in 2019 that by 2020, the backup and archiving of personal data will represent the largest area of privacy risk for 70% of organizations, up from 10% in 2018 as well as by 2023, 65% of the world’s population will have its personal information covered under modern privacy regulations, up from 10% today. Considering the importance of Privacy and Security at broader sight, this Refresher program will be able to provide a pathway towards potential research in Security and Privacy challenges. The expert sessions will enable the participants to explore various possibilities in Security Challenges in emerging technologies. This Refresher program is designed to provide hands on skills to the faculties of Computer Engineering/ Information Technology, Electronics and undergraduate and master’s Computer Science programs so that they can conduct laboratories of this subject and increase interest and skill of the students to cater future man-power requirements. Recent surveys used qualitative synthesis and benchmark comparison analysis techniques to determine research challenges for security and privacy.
