Why Covid-19 is the perfect Privacy by Design case (by Stephan Engberg)

Why Covid-19 is the perfect Privacy by Design case:
Trustworthy Anonymity as a business enabler.

With GDPR, data minimisation is not longer optional but required if possible under fine. Even more important is that both EU and US are now starting to put weight behind the privacy test in antitrust and competition law. Together these mark an epic shift after 30 years of systemic erosion of privacy, democracy and markets.
This does not make it easier to do Privacy by Design and begin to design technology that enable us to release the value potential of digitalization without sacrificing fundamental rights and principles.
To get this ball rolling, we have one of the long-term heavyweights in the field of Security / Privacy by Design, Stephan Engberg, the inventor of the identity framework CitizenKey, talking about why it is so hard and how to eliminate the assumed trade-offs.
He will talk about how Privacy by Design in general and how Trustworthy Anonymity is not only the key to re-opening society after Covid-19, but to a global pandemic response.

Stephan Engberg was in 2009 elected a ”Moral Exemplar in the Computing Profession” (https://blog.privacytrust.eu/public/Good_Computing.pdf) mainly for his work ”on combined the design of privacy-enhancing technologies with a desire to reform privacy policy and practice in Denmark”.
He was for more than a decade member of the International Advisory Board of Privacy International and very active in EU Research on Privacy, Security and Dependability, e.g. as member of the Strategic Advisory Board of FP7 Security & Dependability Roadmapping and a long range of projects, key notes and workshops on pre-policy and scientific events on the topic of Identity and Privacy by Design.
Stephan Engberg was founder of RFIDsec ApS manufacturing RFID chips based on low-computational zero-knowledge protocol and strong Privacy by Design in the IOT space. As part of this he was on the Programme Committee for the annual RFIDSEC Conference.
For the last 6 years he has been actively leading the work on CitizenKey as a peer-to-peer solution to the Global Identity problem based on the zero-knowledge proofs.
