10th Privacy Enhancing Techniques Convention (PET-CON 2019)

We invite you to attend PET-CON 2019 -- the tenth convention in Germany
in the area of Privacy Enhancing Techniques. PET-CON brings together
students (B.Sc., M.Sc., PhD), junior researchers, privacy activists and
other interested people to discuss work in progress. PET-CON is
organized by the PET interest group of the German Computer Science
Society (GI). Previous PET-CONs have been organized at TU Berlin,
University of Hamburg, University of Regensburg, TU Dresden,
TU Darmstadt, RWTH Aachen, and Goethe University Frankfurt.

PET-CON is a very informal gathering. The workshop consists of short
contributed talks (10-15 minutes) followed by extensive feedback and
discussions (up to 45 minutes). For instance, students can present
planned, ongoing, and recently finished theses in order to receive
feedback. We also accept presentations of papers that have already
been published elsewhere. You can also attend the convention without
giving a talk at all.
