Privacy Computing Technology Theory and Practice – Highlights from the National Data Bureau’s 2024 Data Lecture Series

On June 12, the National Data Bureau held the second session of its 2024 “Data Lecture Hall”, focusing on “Privacy Computing Technology Theory and Practice”. The event was attended by Director Liu Liehong, Vice Directors Shen Zhulin, Chen Ronghui, and Xia Bing.

Director Liu emphasized that the accelerating digital economy, driven by data as a key element, requires privacy computing to achieve “usable but invisible” and “controllable and measurable” data sharing, thereby enhancing security and reliability across industries, regions, and institutions.

Guest speakers Ren Kui, Dean of Zhejiang University’s School of Computer Science and Technology, and Wei Tao, Vice President and Chief Technology Security Officer of Ant Group, delivered lectures titled “Privacy Computing Technology Theory and Practice” and “Privacy Computing: Technology, Standards, and Industrial Applications”. They examined the background, global development status, challenges in industrialization, and lightweight privacy computing solutions for various industry scenarios.

The session gathered more than 110 participants from the National Data Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, aiming to promote efficient data circulation, create typical data application scenarios, and accelerate the release of data factor value.
