SocialSec 2019
Copenhagen, Denmark
14-17 July 2019
Welcome to Copenhagen
Social Networks and Big Data have pervaded all aspects of our daily lives. With their unparalleled popularity, social networks have evolved from the platforms for social communication and news dissemination, to indispensable tools for professional networking, social recommendations, marketing, and online content distribution. Social Networks, together with other activities, produce Big Data that is beyond the ability of commonly used computer software and hardware tools to capture, manage, and process within a tolerable elapsed time. It has been widely recognised that security and privacy are the critical challenges for Social Networks and Big Data applications due to their scale, complexity and heterogeneity.
The 5th International Symposium on Security and Privacy in Social Networks and Big Data (SocialSec 2019) will be held at Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen, Denmark on 14-17 July 2019. It follows the success of SocialSec 2015 in Hangzhou, China, SocialSec 2016 in Fiji, SocialSec 2017 in Melbourne, Australia and SocialSec 2018 in Santa Clara, CA, USA. The aim of the symposium is to provide a leading edge forum to foster interactions between researchers and developers with the security and privacy communities in Social Networks and Big Data, and to give attendees an opportunity to interact with experts in academia, industry, and governments.
SocialSec 2019 will be part of the DTU Security Conference Week, co-located with the 13th IFIP WG 11.11 International Conference on Trust Management (IFIPTM 2019). IFIPTM 2019 Website
UPDATE The proceedings of SocialSec 2019 are now available online.

Learn MoreInternet of Things: Applications and Security Challenges
Abstract: The Internet is used daily for many online services, e.g., to communicate, find information, do transactions, and be entertained. And this is possible independent of location due to its openness and distributed nature. But this very openness poses vulnerabilities which allow attacks such as ID theft, denial of service, industrial espionage, and extortion. The Internet of Things (IoT) anticipates connecting billions of objects to the Internet in the next few years, thus potentially creating additional challenging security and privacy issues. The objective of this talk is to describe some trends affecting Internet security and discuss the sources of security problems, as well as provide an overview of IoT and its related security issues. Typical IoT applications are presented with focus on autonomous cars. Also, some potential solutions, safeguards, and defenses are offered.

Learn MorePrivacy-preserving Analytics in the Big Data Environment
Abstract: In the current digital age, data is continually being collected by organizations and governments alike. While the goal is to use this data to derive insight and improve services, the ubiquitous collection and analysis of data creates a threat to privacy. Furthermore, the digitization and centralization of data creates attractive targets for cyber criminals, with security breaches harming both individuals and organizations. In this talk, we present a vision for how privacy-preserving analytics can be done in the big data environment which will require a combination of technological advances to ensure both process and output privacy as well as socio-cognitive approaches to ensure the widespread use and deployment of such work.
Biography: Prof. Jaideep Vaidya is a Full Professor in the MSIS Department at Rutgers University. He received the B.E. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Mumbai, the M.S. and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Purdue University. His general area of research is in data mining, data management, security, and privacy. He has published over 130 technical papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, and has received several best paper awards from the premier conferences in data mining, databases, digital government, security, and informatics. He has also received the NSF Career Award, the Rutgers Board of Trustees Research Fellowship for Scholarly Excellence, and the Junior Faculty Research Award from Rutgers Business School. He is a senior member of the IEEE and ACM and has been recognized as an ACM Distinguished Scientist.

Copenhagen is the cultural, economic and governmental centre of Denmark. Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen has become increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of Scania and its largest city, Malmö, forming the Øresund Region. With a number of bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterized by parks, promenades and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks, such as Tivoli Gardens, The Little Mermaid statue, the Amalienborg and Christiansborg palaces, Rosenborg Castle Gardens, Frederik's Church, and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions.
For the visa, there is visa‐free entry for citizens of all EU countries, and most non‐EU European countries, Australia, Canada and the United States. Denmark is a member of the European Union's Schengen zone.
From the Copenhagen airport to DTU
Metro & Train- M1 or M2 to Norepport station and then either train A or E to Lyngby station. From the Lyngby station, you can take bus 180, 190 or 300S to Anker Engelunds Vej at DTU campus.
