The Workshop on Privacy Threat Modeling seeks participation in the form of research findings, new ideas, and constructive feedback. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers, practitioners, industry specialists, and government representatives to collaborate on the topic of privacy threat modeling. While aspects of privacy risk modeling are relatively well developed, such as constructions of privacy harms, there has been insufficient discussion around approaches to modeling privacy threats, broadly construed. A holistic approach to representing privacy threats could inform privacy risk models and provide a common lexicon to accelerate conversations in the privacy community.
The workshop will include an informative session and a collaborative session. The informative session will include a keynote, brief updates on prominent existing privacy threat models, including MITRE PANOPTIC™ and LINDDUN, and presentations selected from participant submissions. In the collaborative session we will discuss the role of threat modeling in environmental privacy threat assessment.
Broadly, we hope this workshop will continue to forge new relationships across the privacy community around the topic of privacy threats, shape and guide the development of new and existing privacy threat models, and stimulate further research into privacy threats by providing an informative baseline on what privacy threat modeling is, as well as knowledge about the current state of the field, and ideas about operationalizing privacy threat models.
