Hi Suneel, I just (yesterday) submitted a proposal for Hadoop Summit Tokyo in October. Here is the information:
***** Title: Scalable Private Information Retrieval — Introducing Apache Pirk (incubating) Abstract: Querying information over TBs of data where no one can see what you query or the responses obtained? It sounds like science fiction, but it is actually the science of Private Information Retrieval (PIR). This talk will introduce Apache Pirk - a new incubating Apache project designed to provide a framework for scalable, distributed PIR. We will discuss the motivation for Apache Pirk, its distributed implementations in platforms such as Spark and Storm, it’s current algorithms, the power of homomorphic encryption, and take a look at the path forward. Any scenario in which a user wishes to ask completely private questions of a dataset to which they have been granted access is a great application for Apache Pirk - we will discuss such scenarios as well. Bio: Ellison Anne Williams is a creator and PMC member of Apache Pirk, a pure mathematician by training, and a practical computer scientist in real life. Her passion is doing cool stuff with massive amounts of data. ****** I was considering submitting the same for ApacheCon under the 'incubating' section and am happy to do so -- I will tweak it according to some specific questions ApacheCon wants addressed in their CFP. I think that we can have two 'Introducing Pirk' talks in rapid succession (Hadoop Summit is late October, ApacheCon is mid November). From that point, I think that we have to move beyond the introductory talks. Thoughts? Thanks!
