Call for participation:

*2nd International Workshop on Genome Privacy and Security (GenoPri 2015)*

A Workshop of the 36th IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy



Whern: May 21, 2015

Where : The Fairmont Hotel, San Jose, CA

Introduction:

Over the past several decades, genome sequencing technologies have evolved
from slow and expensive systems that were limited in access to a select few
scientists and forensics investigators to high-throughput, relatively
low-cost tools that are available to consumers.  A consequence of such
technical progress is that genomics has become one of the next major
challenges for privacy and security because (1) genetic diseases can be
unveiled, (2) the propensity to develop specific diseases (such as
Alzheimer’s) can be revealed, (3) a volunteer, accepting to have his
genomic code made public, can leak substantial information about his ethnic
heritage and the genomic data of his relatives (possibly against their
will), and (4) complex privacy issues can arise if DNA analysis is used for
criminal investigations and medical purposes.

As genomics is increasingly integrated into healthcare and "recreational"
services (e.g., ancestry testing), the risk of DNA data leakage is serious
for both individuals and their relatives. Failure to adequately protect
such information could lead to a serious backlash, impeding genomic
research, that could affect the well-being of our society as a whole. This
prompts the need for research and innovation in all aspects of genome
privacy and security, as suggested by the non-exhaustive list of topics
below.
