Keeping data private in real-time pipelines

Talkat Berlin Buzzwords 2026 · 2026-06-07..06-09· [data-engineering, security]
slides:none on file

Covers concrete patterns for streaming privacy using Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg: masking is trivial but irreversible, tokenization requires a private token vault and deterministic vs random tokens trade utility for risk, hashing is easily reversible (New York taxi example), k-anonymity and bucketing reduce fingerprinting but are hard to tune, and adding noise or poisoning helps ML training; case studies include Netflix’s ~100 million ratings leak and AOL’s 20M search logs, plus homomorphic encryption as an expensive future option.
