Event Description
The Drexel University Cybersecurity Institute invites you to the August cybersecurity brown-bag seminar featuring an expert panel on electronic privacy.
Date: Wednesday, August 6, 2014
Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM (bring your own lunch)
Location: 3401 Market Street, Suite 300, Auerbach and Berger Families Cybersecurity Laboratory
Moderator:
Rachel Greenstadt, PhD, Associate Professor of Computer Science at the College of Computing & Informatics will serve as moderator. Dr. Greenstadt researches the privacy and security properties of intelligent systems and the economics of electronic privacy and information security. Her work is at "layer 8" of the network—analyzing the content. She is a member of the DARPA Computer Science Study Group and she runs the Privacy, Security, and Automation Laboratory (PSAL) which is a vibrant group of ten researchers who explore topics at the intersection between artificial intelligence, privacy and security, and human-computer interaction. The privacy research community has recognized her scholarship with the PET Award for Outstanding Research in Privacy Enhancing Technologies, the NSF CAREER Award, and the Andreas Pfitzmann Best Student Paper Award.
Panelists include:
• Roger Dingledine, Project Leader and Director of The Tor Project
• Nadia Heninger, Magerman Term Assistant Professor, Computer and Information Science, University of Pennsylvania

Panel Discussion Abstract:
How can the privacy community respond to mass surveillance by governments and corporations?
According to some, the Snowden/NSA/GCHQ revelations show that law and policy have failed to protect citizens around the globe from surveillance. The responsibility also falls upon the shoulders of the technical community to build solutions that are resilient to "mass surveillance" practices. But while Edward Snowden announced that "crypto still works," intelligence agencies will continue to find ways to work around it. Other experts have argued that technology is far from a complete answer to the issue and that working with policy and law is more necessary than ever.
Both positions are troubled by motions to prevent companies from applying secure designs that may be seen as obstructing law enforcement agencies from conducting investigations. Further, governments around the globe are likely to consider implementing "back doors," as well as utilizing zero-day exploits, as a way to guarantee law enforcement access. These aggressive policies raise questions about where privacy technologies can and should live, and, how to guarantee that their design remains robust, e.g., by keeping the implementation open to scrutiny?
This roundtable discussion will discuss the current state of privacy enhancing technologies and their implications for individuals, engineers, and researchers.
About the Institute
The Drexel University Cybersecurity Institute educates the next cyber intelligent cadre that our city, region and nation requires to counter emerging threats and risks, while advancing professional cyber risk management in law and policy, privacy and enforcement in order to counter both criminal and advanced persistent threats associated with cyberattacks.
