Who Is Danny De Cock? Danny De Cock researches as a post-doc applied cryptography at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium (university name is not to be translated!). Danny is an expert in computer security and industrial cryptography applications and he has conducted extensive research projects in this field. His work includes the analysis and design of identity management systems and secure communications architectures for various environments and communities. He has also researched security aspects of mobile devices, car telematics, home appliances, electronic banking, electronic voting schemes and electronic identity cards. Most recently he was the coordinator of a study for the four Belgian governments to lay out the security architecture and functionality of the electronic voting system for Belgian elections. This system has been deployed for official elections in October 2012. Danny is involved with different identity management projects to increase Belgian eGovernment efficiency on the regional and federal level, and was in charge of the Modinis-IDM study (http://godot.be/modinis) that was organized by the European Commission to build on expertise and initiatives in the EU Member States to progress towards a coherent approach in electronic identity management in eGovernment in the European Union. Danny is the project coordinator of the European Project TAS3 (Trusted Architecture for Securely Shared Services, cf. http://tas3.eu). This project focused on service oriented architectures that deployed in the employability and healthcare sector. He is also inolved in research on computer forensics through the BC-Centre, focusing on the protection of evidence. What is this talk all about? Privacy And Security Challenges In Today's Ehealth Systems In this talk he sketches the aspects that necessitate the protection of data that are exchanged in e-health care systems. He also illustrates how these protection measures can be applied successfully, and why this is not always what we want. About TED and TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
