Ian Goldberg - Privacy enhancing technologies: Combatting surveillance and censorship on the Internet
Update: 2015-02-20
Description
Over the last twenty years, the Internet has become an essential tool for global communication, collaboration, and commerce. Not all governments, however, are in favour of the free and open interactions that the Internet provides.
In addition to the well-known Internet censorship performed by the so-called "Great Firewall of China" and other regimes, the revelations by Edward Snowden over the last year and a half have provided a glimpse into the level of mass Internet surveillance performed by Western governments.
In this talk, we look at some examples of such Internet surveillance and censorship, and give an overview of some of the more popular technologies used by journalists, activists, and others to safely communicate online without observation or interference.
