Fabian Schäfer, Jeremy Rosen, Felix Wortmann and I teamed up and wrote “Unleashing The Potential of Data Ecosystems: Establishing Digital Trust through Trust-Enhancing Technologies“, which was was presented at ECIS 2023. In the article, we apply the theory of system trust and investigate the potential of technology to strengthen trust in data ecosystems. In particular, we…

I am very much looking forward to the discussion with Katharina Koerner, Patricia Thaine and Saima Fancy. The virtual event is organized and hosted by the IAPP Toronto and Calgary KnowledgeNet Chapters. You can learn more about and register for the…

The series primarily aims at illustrating the goals and functions of privacy engineering and how they can be implemented through different technologies. To inform this discussion, it will (if…

If you’re wondering what the whole discussion is all about, the following will bring you up…
