摘要

As digital privacy becomes a critical concern across industries, structured education in this field is urgently needed. To address this gap, ACM, IEEE, and IFIP have launched a collaborative initiative to develop a Privacy Curricular Guideline for graduate programs. This framework defines core knowledge areas and aligns academic training with real-world needs. A Joint Taks Force of global experts identified eight foundational pillars for digital privacy education: (1) Privacy Body of Knowledge, (2) Privacy Foundations, (3) General Computer Science Concepts for Privacy, (4) Privacy-Preserving Computer Science/Software Engineering, (5) Information Systems/Technology, (6) Privacy Development Lifecycle, (7) Applied Domains, and (8) Privacy-related Industry Perspective. These are now being refined by dedicated Working Groups. This work is highly relevant to IFIP TC11 WG11.8, as privacy complements security but requires distinct focus areas addressing issues of user autonomy, data governance, and ethical considerations. Currently, privacy topics are often scattered across computer security and information security courses, leaving graduates unprepared for specialized privacy technologist roles. The initiative aims to bridge the education-practice gap and equip students with skills for emerging privacy challenges.
