Ich war heute zusammen mit Giorgio Armani im Radio. Ok, fast: Wir beide waren *Thema* im Info3.
Auch im Beitrag mit mir ging es um den Tod. Den Tod der Anonymität im Internet. Und was Jugendschutz und e-ID damit zu tun haben.
Ab 4'05" jetzt zum Nachhören und dann etwas länger im Echo der Zeit um 18 Uhr in SRF1.

Treasure Hunt in Anonymous Graphs with Quantum Pebbles by Oblivious Agents
We investigate the problem of finding a static treasure in anonymous graphs using oblivious agents and introduce a novel approach that leverages quantum information. In anonymous graphs, vertices are unlabelled, indistinguishable, and edges are locally labelled with port numbers. Agents typically rely on stationary classical pebbles placed by an oracle to guide their search. However, this classical approach is constrained by limited information transmission and high traversal complexity. Classi…

An Algorithmic Pipeline for GDPR-Compliant Healthcare Data Anonymisation: Moving Toward Standardisation
High-quality real-world data (RWD) is essential for healthcare but must be transformed to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPRs broad definitions of quasi-identifiers (QIDs) and sensitive attributes (SAs) complicate implementation. We aim to standardise RWD anonymisation for GDPR compliance while preserving data utility by introducing an algorithmic method to identify QIDs and SAs and evaluate utility in anonymised datasets. We conducted a systematic literature review…

Privacy, Informed Consent and the Demand for Anonymisation of Smart Meter Data
Access to smart meter data offers system-wide benefits but raises significant privacy concerns due to the personal information it contains. Privacy-preserving techniques could facilitate wider access, though they introduce privacy-utility trade-offs. Understanding consumer valuations for anonymisation can help identify appropriate trade-offs. However, existing studies do not focus on anonymisation specifically or account for information asymmetries regarding privacy risks, raising questions abo…
