Privacy semantics, including automated GDPR compliance and data policy management
Electronic identity systems
Electronic payment systems
Blockchain and crypto-currency applications
Alternatives to passwords (e.g. RFC7486) and new approaches to naming (e.g. RFC6920)
Privacy friendly features for phones
Privacy-enhanced recommender systems and search, traffic analysis resistant VPNs and HTTPS
