Implementing PETs for Government Data: Context and Considerations

Music City Center 

As privacy tools move from research to deployment in government contexts, they will unavoidably interact with the complicated use cases and implementation challenges associated with the government's data policy, governance, and regulatory environment.

In this talk we will review public resources for discovering, untangling and navigating the constraints of the government data ecosystem: understanding the law relevant to data access, leveraging standards to help streamline deployment, unlocking the language of public interest, and connecting projects back to decision maker use cases for data-informed policy.

We relate this broader context to key considerations for differential privacy solutions in particular, providing illustrative examples from the NIST CRC synthetic data benchmarking project.
