Video: Privacy and Security in the Network Age
Are we entering an era where individuals gain new control over their public personas, and powerful means to leverage reputations? Or will we be forced to abandon any hope of protecting our privacy and trusting what we encounter online? When is more information the solution… and when is it the problem?
At Supernova 2008, Wharton Professor Andrea Matwyshyn led a discussion featuring Bruce Schneier (BT Counterpane), Fran Maier (TrustE), and Gerard Lewis (Comcast).

Audio: Reconceptualizing Security
Security is both a feeling and a reality. You can feel secure without actually being secure, and you can be secure even though you don’t feel secure. In the industry, we tend to discount the feeling in favor of the reality, but the difference between the two is important. It explains why we have so much security theater that doesn’t work, and why so many smart security solutions go unimplemented. Several different fields—behavioral economics, the psychology of decision making, evolutionary biology—shed light on how we perceive security, risk, and cost. Learn how perception of risk matters and, perhaps more importantly, learn how to design security systems that will actually get used…

Video: Bruce Schneier on Information Security: Ten Trends
Surveying current trends in information security, it’s clear that a myriad of forces are at work. But fundamentally, security is all about economics: both attacker and defender are trying to maximize the return on their investments. Economics can both explain why security fails so often and offer new solutions for its success. For example, often the people who could protect a system are not those who suffer the costs of failure. Changing these economic incentives will do more to improve security than will more technology.
Video: Schneier on Identity Theft
I am attending the IT Security Summit 2007 here in Johannesburg this week. It’s a busy week for conferences with Interop in Vegas and AusCERT in session in Australia. While smaller than the other two this one is proving very interesting. I originally submitted my cyber crime scenario presentation but that theme proved so popular I was asked to address something else. So I brushed off my “Future of Network Security” slides and will be sharing that with the 450 or so delegates here tomorrow.
Last night was the gala reception where we were treated to a short identity theft skit (industrial theater they called it) starring Bruce Schneier. An impostor burst in on the scene and claimed to be Bruce. He produced a passport that identified himself as Mr. Bruce Schneier. He then had his interlocutor check images on Google, FBI.gov and CIA.gov, all of which identified this bloke as Bruce. It was only after Bruce solved a simple block cypher of the words “I am Bruce” that the impostor fled the scene. Watch the video of Bruce describing the point of the exercise…
