Video: Deep Dive: Digital Security and Distributed Ledger Technology: Myths and Reality
The panel session aims to clarify expectations with respect to digital security regarding blockchain. Many people simply don’t understand how blockchain works and question its basic security (e.g. assuming that a ledger that is stored everywhere cannot be secure), while many others view blockchain as a panacea for security (e.g. it will solve all our security challenges). Where is the reality? To which extent can we trust this technology from a digital security perspective? How can it help resolve existing digital security challenges?
Video: Panel Discussion: Election 2020 – Securing the Vote
Watch the Video on YouTube.com
The 2020 election is happening amidst unprecedented disagreement about election security, as the coronavirus pandemic challenges traditional in-person voting. On the one hand, the incumbent president claims that postal voting will lead to widespread electoral fraud. On the other, Democrats argue that the U.S. postal system is being deliberately degraded to make it less likely that mailed ballots will be counted in time. Both political scientists who work on voting, and information security specialists, who think systematically about the failure modes, attack surfaces, and threat models of large information systems, can help us understand—and mitigate—the likely failures of large-scale voting systems operating under unexpected circumstances in a context of increased fear over manipulation…

Privacy in a Digital Age – Carnegie UK Trust Seminar on Future of Public Libraries
JOEL ROSENTHAL: I want to begin by welcoming our colleagues from the Carnegie UK Trust. This event is part of a study tour organized by the Trust inquiring into the future of public libraries, and as a subset of that question, the issue of privacy in the digital age.

Is it feasible to provide ordinary citizens access to affordable and user-friendly end-2-end IT services with constitutionally-meaningful levels of user-trustworthiness, as a supplement to their every-day computing devices?

Audio: How Secure Is Your Data?
For this week’s Friday Roundtable, we dive into the issues of data security discussed in Bruce Schneier’s new book “Data and Goliath.”
Schneier writes in his introduction: “Here is what’s true: Today’s technology gives governments and corporations robust capabilities for mass surveillance.”
Schneier and two other technology and security experts joined the Roundtable to talk about the state of data security.
Highlights from the conversation
Cell phones have become surveillance devices – for better or worse.
“The cell phone knows who you talk to, what time you talked to them, what time you wake up in the morning, what time you go to sleep at night. It knows who you sleep with because you’ve both got a phone,” said Schneier. “It is an amazing surveillance device and something we would never allow if the government mandated it. Of course, we pick it up every morning and put in our pocket, not because we’re putting a surveillance device in our pocket but because it’s an incredibly useful tool that really we can’t live without anymore.”…
