Course

Are you a software professional (or aspiring to be one)? Would you like to learn how to ensure your software protects your users' privacy and fundamental rights? In this introductory course, we'll explore what privacy means around the world and how to navigate the ethical dilemmas you might face in your work. We'll also dive into the technical details of how privacy can be built into each stage of the software development lifecycle to ensure privacy by design and default.

• Discover the field of privacy engineering
  
• Explore what privacy means to your users around the world through cultural and legal case studies
• Learn how to incorporate privacy into the software development lifecycle with tools and techniques such as privacy threat modeling, privacy design patterns, static code analysis for privacy, and privacy enhancing technologies
• Explore emerging privacy challenges, such as generative AI, privacy in the metaverse, and even privacy in space

Prerequisites? If the phrases “make a PR” and the “software development lifecycle” are meaningful to you, then you’re already ready for this course; you don’t need prior privacy domain knowledge.
