LOGO Openness and Security on the Internet: Schrödinger’s Cat or Catch-22? A presentation for the 2 nd UIGF Kyiv, September 2011
Eng The Starting Point Basic assumptions: v. Openness=level of mutual trust v. Security=governmental control over information flows and users’ activities
The Paradox of the Internet A free & open domain, the Web generates new opportunities and security challenges & risks: üGovernments: boost to the economy & the citizenry’s welfare VS. cyber fears (from (Wiki) leaks to cyber wars) üBusinesses: new marketing opportunities VS. cyber fears (eg. from direct financial losses to intellectual property to reputational ones) üCivil society: new opportunities for communication, interaction, promotion of civil rights VS. cyber fears (terrorism, extremism, hatred, etc. ) üUsers: new opportunities for, and benefits of using the Internet VS. cyber fears (privacy, identity loss)
The Alarm Bell “The Web as we know it [is] being threatened in different ways” Tim Berners-Lee, October 2010 http: //www. scientificamerican. co m/article. cfm? id=long-live-theweb
The Resident Evil (as Gov’ts See It) Fire: 100 -50, 000 BC gunpowder: 15 -16 AC = >100, 000 years Printing : 936 AC Mein Kempf 1927 => 1, 000 years Radioactivity 1896 Nuclear bomb 1945 =>49 years The Internet 1969 The first virus 1969 (? ) = 0 years The Internet has generated the evil: ØFrom its very onset; ØPromptly; ØPerpetually; ØConsciously; ØAnonymously; ØUbiquitously.
Nightmares of One Gov’t…. …. . We have created …this new space called cyber, and, frankly, it's lawless. There are no natural technical barriers up there to protect information. That's why all of us … have to assume a personal responsibility for firewalls. …. . You have got anarchists out there who just want to destroy things. You have potential terrorists out there who just want to do harm. And then, finally, you have got criminals… on the Web taking things of value from you and me. And they're all taking advantage of what is essentially anarchy out there in the global network……. launching a cyber-attack, defeating the grid, the power grid, or the water system in a whole country, or shutting down their Internet, that's an attack. That's war. Gen. Michael Hayden, former CIA and National Security Agency Director, in an interview http: //www. pbs. org/newshour/bb/science/july-dec 10/cyber_08 -11. html
…Are Echoed by Others “The monitoring of what people listen to, read, and watch is also long overdue…” Rashid Nurgaliev, the RF Minister of Interior, in an interview on 3 Aug. 2011 "We are working with police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality…” David Cameron, PM, in a special address to the Parliament, 11 Aug. 2011
A Govt’s Model Response 1. To deter 2. To fight back (to criminalize and prosecute) 3. To tighten security
Openness Any Progress, Really? Onset Security Nowadays
CATCH-22 New security challenges Openness New security measures
Any Sound Remedy? 1) To seek a proper balance: eg. : European Parliament recommendation of 26 March 2009 to the Council on strengthening security and fundamental freedoms on the Internet (2008/2160(INI)) http: //eur-lex. europa. eu/ 2) To raise awareness and educate (and we are up to this mission)
