Privacy and data protection by design : from policy to engineering

This report shall promote the discussion on how privacy by design can be implemented with the help of engineering methods. It provides a basis for better understanding of the current state of the art concerning privacy by design with a focus on the technological side. Data protection authorities can use the report as a reference of currently available technologies and methods. Lastly, the report should help regulators to better understand the opportunities, challenges and limits of the by-design principles with respect to privacy and data protection, to improve the expressiveness and effective-ness of future policy.
