The considerable development and everyday use of information and communication technologies (ICT) – from cell phones to laptops, PDAs and so much more - has resulted in this sector having a major economic impact on Canada. In 2008, Industry Canada reported that ICT sector revenues reached $155.3B, an increase of 2.8% over 2007. In June 2008, Statistics Canada reported that over 73% of Canadians aged 16 years and up had used the internet in the previous 12 months. Similarly, nearly three-quarters of Canadian households indicated that they had at least one cell phone. As consumers continue to demand faster, smarter, smaller, cheaper and more secure technologies, MITACS projects on quantum computing, enhancing privacy, optimizing the flow of information on the internet and much more rise to meet these challenges.

With the widespread deployment of networked sensors and cameras throughout cities, there is an incredible opportunity for improving safety and security. Surveillance networks incorporate cameras mounted on traffic lights and overpasses, mobile cameras attached to emergency vehicles, and chemical and biological sensors for detecting dangerous contaminants.

This project will aim to improve the current PET models and formalisms describing both privacy, as well as the loss of privacy with a goal to improve these models so as to better understand the causes of, and solutions to, privacy breaches. In the same vein, they will develop useful technologies for enhancing the privacy of citizens of an electronic world.

This project aims to develop an analog system along with a working plan for its implementation. In the past year, research to develop digital communications using nonlinear dynamics for data transmission led to the successful development of high data rate communications which allow users to transmit larger files, such as high quality video, more quickly than a low data rate communication method.
