The\u00a0Differential Privacy Meets Multi-Party Computation (DPMPC) Workshop brought together over 60 attendees<\/span>\u00a0from 13 different universities and sparked groundbreaking discussion about differential privacy and multi-party computing<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Organized by Ran\u00a0Canetti<\/a>, professor of computer science & director of the Center for Reliable Information Systems & Cyber Security,\u00a0and\u00a0Shafi Goldwasser<\/a>,\u00a0RSA Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT and a co-leader of the cryptography and information security group, the two-day workshop featured eight speakers each day as well as a panel discussing differential privacy (DP) and multi-party computing (MPC) in the eyes of the law, with\u00a0p<\/span>anelists\u00a0Ahmed Ghappour (BU Law), Paul Ohm (Georgetown Law), \u00a0Salil Vadhan (Harvard), Ran Canetti, and <\/span>Shafi Goldwasser.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
