9:10–10:10 Keynote: Open Problems in Web and Mobile Privacy

In this talk, I'll survey a few web and mobile-based privacy challenges and how they have evolved over time. I'll also pose some research problems and questions to identify potential areas for collaboration.

Speaker: Neil Daswani is a member of the information security group at Twitter. He was formerly the CTO of Dasient, Inc. prior to its acquisition by Twitter. Before co-founding Dasient, Neil had served in a variety of research, development, teaching, and managerial roles at Google, Stanford University, DoCoMo USA Labs, Yodlee, and Bellcore (now Telcordia Technologies). While at Stanford, Neil co-founded the Stanford Center for Professional Development Software Security Certification Program.

His areas of expertise include security, wireless data technology, and peer-to-peer systems. He has published extensively in these areas, frequently gives talks at industry and academic conferences, and has been granted several U.S. patents. He received a Ph.D. and a master's in computer science from Stanford University, and earned a bachelor's in computer science with honors with distinction from Columbia University.
