Welcome Letter

It is a great honor for the Southeast Digital Economy Development Institute and Ningbo University to host the International Conference on Security and Privacy in Digital Economy (SPDE 2020).

We are in the age of the digital economy. Information technology has significantly changed our daily life, including social networks, online shopping, and so on. The dramatic development of new business applications demands new technologies to serve their needs. We have seen unprecedented progress in artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, to name a few.

However, security and privacy concerns are critical issues in this booming digital economy. The vulnerability and potential threats of the new techniques are yet to be examined, solutions are yet to be tested and confirmed in practice. For example, we need detection method against generative adversarial network (GAN) based attacks, security and privacy problems of federated learning to be identified and fixed, fraud and cheating in digital economy ecosystems need to be detected and solved, there are a lot of unknown issues in blockchain systems, in autopilot cars are to be addressed. We fully believe the solutions depend on the extensive collaboration between academia and industry, depend on cross-disciplinary efforts from ICT and law, social science and so on.

The purpose of this conference is to offer a timely venue for researchers and industry partners in the framework of the digital economy to present and discuss their latest results in security and privacy-related work.

We look forward to the heated discussion, innovative ideas, and positive outcomes of this conference. Enquiries should be submitted to conference email spde2020@sdedi.org.cn.
