• Title: Safer Digital Intimacy For Sex Workers And Beyond: A Technical Research Agenda
• Authors: Vaughn Hamilton, Gabriel Kaptchuk, Allison McDonald, Elissa M. Redmiles,
• Abstract summary: Many people engage in digital intimacy: sex workers, their clients, and people who create and share intimate content recreationally. With this intimacy comes significant security and privacy risk, exacerbated by stigma. In this article, we present a commercial digital intimacy threat model and 10 research directions for safer digital intimacy.

• DNA: Differentially private Neural Augmentation for contact tracing [62.740950398187664]
  Contact tracing is an effective way to reduce infection rates by detecting potential virus carriers early. We substantially improve the privacy guarantees of the current state of the art in decentralized contact tracing. This work marks an important first step in integrating deep learning into contact tracing while maintaining essential privacy guarantees.

  We examine the impact of shifting from in-person to online-only work on a particularly marginalized group of workers: sex workers. We find that online work offers benefits to sex workers' financial and physical well-being. Online-only work introduces new and greater digital and mental health risks as a result of the need to be publicly visible.

  We propose a trainable image acquisition method that removes the sensitive identity revealing information in the optical domain before it reaches the image sensor. As the sensitive content is suppressed before it reaches the image sensor, it does not enter the digital domain therefore is unretrievable by any sort of privacy attack.

  This article provides an overview of intimate threats: a class of privacy threats that can arise within our families, romantic partnerships, close friendships, and caregiving relationships. We survey a range of intimate relationships and describe their common features. Based on these features, we explore implications for both technical privacy design and policy, and offer design recommendations for ameliorating intimate privacy risks.

  We study techniques that allow individuals to limit the private information leaked in visual data. We tackle this problem in a novel image obfuscation framework. We find our approach generates obfuscated images faithful to the original input images, and additionally increase uncertainty by 6.2$times$ (or up to 0.85 bits) over the non-obfuscated counterparts.
