Brief Bio
Josep Domingo-Ferrer (Fellow, IEEE and Distinguished Scientist, ACM) received BSc-MSc and PhD degrees in computer science (Autonomous University of Barcelona), a BSc-MSc in mathematics (UNED) and an MA in philosophy (U. Paris Nanterre). He is a distinguished full professor of computer science and an ICREA-Acadèmia research professor at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Catalonia, where he also leads CYBERCAT (Center for Cybersecurity Research of Catalonia). He is currently also affiliated as an invited professor with LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France. His research interests include data privacy, data security, trustworthy machine learning, and ethics in IT.
Abstract
The privacy risks inherent to machine learning are mainly connected to potential leakage of sensitive data using to train a model. The basic attack against privacy is a membership disclosure attack (MIA) that can be used as a building block to mount more sophisticated attacks such as attribute disclosure or reconstruction attacks. In this talk, I will analyze the chances that a MIA yields unambiguous disclosure in the real world. I will also focus on the particular case of MIAs used to attack the right to be forgotten pursued in machine unlearning.
