Hello, fediverse!

We publish the academic open access journal Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies and host the annual Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium. We are a top research venue dedicated to novel applied and theoretical research into the design, analysis, experimentation, and fielding of privacy-enhancing technologies.

This account will mostly be for announcements about deadlines and events, but we'll also boost posts from our authors about their research, so follow along to learn about cool privacy things.

Please consider boosting so your pals can find us, too!
