Timeline (last 90 days)
Minando is currently collaborating with colleagues at UC Berkeley to explore deployment paths for privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) in the mainstream world, a path that first involves working with governments and NGOs to understand data-sharing needs and barriers, then customizing or redesigning PETs, and ultimately producing a privacy deployment handbook for the mainstream world.
