DESCRIPTION:Application Programing Interfaces (APIs) have transformed our d
 igital world by connecting data\, processes\, and people. There are thousa
 nds of Open APIs publicly available for creating innovative applications d
 ealing with Public Services\, Health Sciences\, IoT\, Artificial Intellige
 nce\, Social Media\, and many others contributing to the Digital Economy. 
 Researchers and students in academia are increasingly using Open APIs for 
 various research/training related digital services and other academic purp
 oses.\n\nOpen APIs offer great benefits\, but they come with security and 
 legal risks. Unfortunately\, not everyone (especially students) are aware 
 of the underlying security and compliance challenges. Furthermore\, there 
 are no easily accessible repositories that provide security/legal assessme
 nts on these publicly available APIs. Existing repositories such as Progra
 mmableWeb\, API.io\, RapidAPI.com\, APIs.guru and others are best at provi
 ding API endpoints\, categories\, and other information\, which are not su
 fficient to address the security and legal concerns.\n\nIn this presentati
 on\, speaker will discuss about the state of Open APIs from design and sec
 urity perspectives that have been assessed by analyzing thousands of Open 
 APIs from hundreds of vendors. Speaker will also talk about legal risks th
 at should be avoided while using Open APIs. Overall\, audience will learn 
 about how to: (1) take advantage of the myriad of Open APIs\; (2) accelera
 te research and product development\; (3) meet compliance regulations\; (4
 ) reduce security/legal/privacy risks to make data-driven applications mor
