Cybersecurity Beyond the Kill Switch: Government Powers and Cybersecurity Policy
Wednesday, June 15, 2011; 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Hart Auditorium
While there is now broad consensus that the U.S. government should not have the power to "shut down the Internet," other powers over private sector networks remain under discussion. Policymakers have proposed government authorities to mandate IT system design for private networks, to collect and analyze content from those networks, and to remove those networks from contact with the wider Internet. Experts will discuss these suggestions, their civil liberties and commercial implications, and possible alternatives. Panel organized by Joshua Gruenspecht: Cybersecurity Fellow, Center for Democracy and Technology.

Panel Topic: The Effect of Domestic Airport Security Policies on Minority Communities, Freedom of Movement, and Privacy
Wednesday, June 15, 2011; 11:00 AM - 12:30 AM
Hart Auditorium
This panel will discuss how new and invasive aviation security policies are impacting minority communities in the U.S. and whether the national security objectives outweigh the impingement on civil liberties. Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) machines in U.S. airports that have raised questions of privacy, modesty, health, and racial/ religious profiling. For example, AIT's inability to scan the folds or layers of religious headcoverings (i.e. Sikh turbans are considered per se an anomaly, and therefore, subject Sikh passengers who wear turbans to two mandatory additional layers of security). This counters the argument that invasive technology provides additional security. This technology also disparately impacts Muslim women who wear hijabs or women and men who wear artificial hair pieces wigs based on preference, medical purposes, or religious obligations regarding natural hair being uncovered in public. Moreover, the panel may discuss other law enforcement mechanisms to combat terrorism and other emerging technologies or law enforcement tools in the aviation security arena. And generally, the panel will discuss how these new aviation security policies have an impact on individual's Freedom of Movement. Panel organized by Hansdeep Singh: Staff Attorney, United Sikhs.

Don't kill "GRAMA!" How Open Meetings Laws Are Being Affected by Social Media and New Technology
Wednesday, June 15, 2011; 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Hart Auditorium
Open Records and Meetings laws have come under assault by lawmakers who are so ignorant of electronic communication and social media that their first inclination is simply to exempt it from all requirements of good government law. Utah lawmakers gutted their open records law earlier this year, known as GRAMA, in an attempt to keep their emails and blackberry messages private. How are other states and the Federal government dealing with these issues, and what should they be doing? Panel organized by Andy Wilson: Policy Analyst, Public Citizen Texas.

Cybersecurity Freedom and Privacy
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 8:50 AM - 10:30 AM
Hart Auditorium
This panel will explore the comprehensive approach to cybersecurity being proposed by governments both in the US and around the world. These global initiatives seek to protect digital information systems and the information they manage from all threats. The category of threats will include those faced by governments, consumers, corporations, critical infrastructure, and networked local, state, and national government agencies. The challenges are not only domestic, but international in scope. This panel will explore the topic of Cybersecurity Freedom and Privacy as they outline the roles that governments, companies, users, and advocates can play or should play in attempting to create a free and safe Internet. Some Questions for the Panel: Policing cyberspace is it necessary? And if so, who should be responsible: one agency or many? Will either diplomacy, military, law enforcement, advocacy community or users win the day or will they each be needed to make a 24-7 world work in harmony?

Accessible and Usable Technologies Support the Freedom of People with Disabilities
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM
Hart Auditorium
The 21st Century Communications & Video Accessibility Act (P.L. 111-260) was enacted in October 2010 in the U.S. This new law not only updates the Communications Act to make sure existing disability mandates reflect the new digital era in which we live but it also substantively impacts multiple technologies operating in and around cyberspace. These include the television (broadcast, cable, satellite), telephone (wireless and wireline), information technology and broadband sectors. The panel will provide a summary of the Act, a regulatory status update and provide speculation on how these mandates will impact the rest of cyberspace, either unregulated sectors or internationally. Discussion will focus on how the civil rights of people with disabilities are advanced when there is accessibility and usability of technology.

Social Justice in the Digital Information Age
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM
Room A
This round table discussion among civil rights and civil liberties experts in the US will consider a number of challenges to their work in the new millennium. Computing technology is integrating itself into every aspect of domestic life. Education, employment, and housing opportunities are found more and more often only online. Changing laws regarding the use of CCTV, traffic cameras, are blanketing the landscape with means for cash strapped regions to find new revenue. Employment opportunities are more often only available through web-forms that collect personal information that can be instantly matched with other data that could disqualify a candidate because of poor credit scores. Voting rights are on shifting ground that may require a host of actions by voters who have voted for decades in order for them to cast a ballot in next year's election. Immigrant or citizen there is no one way to know--but efforts at finding the way of knowing the difference, and then according civil rights to one while withholding rights to those who cannot pass the test.

Automating Policing Functions: From Drones to Robo Ticketing, Is This the end of Police As we Know Them?
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 10:45 AM - 12:00 PM
Room B
Drone aircraft are beginning to appear in the skies over America. Police, entrepreneurs, and hobbyists are experimenting with this technology, but safety concerns on the part of the FAA have held back their deployment. As those issues are worked out, however, we face the prospect of cheap and pervasive flying robotic video cameras, often equipped with advanced imaging technologies. There are unmanned vehicles along highways and road ways monitoring the speed of passing vehicles and camera flashes capturing license plates of passing vehicles. CCTV surveillance systems are flowering in cities as fast as grants can purchase them, with shrinking budgets for local and state governments are they seen as a way out of fiscal crisis. RFID tagging of drivers licenses and tag readers couple to monitor people in public and private spaces without their knowledge. GPS tracking devices are cheap and easy to deploy by line officers to track vehicles over distances and for periods far longer and for much lower costs than manned surveillance units.

Computers, Freedom & Privacy will feature a research showcase in the form of a research poster session as well as a research panel that includes the authors of the best research posters. For more than a decade, CFP has anticipated policy trends and issues, and has shaped the public debate on the future of privacy and freedom in an ever more technology-filled world. CFP focuses on topics such as freedom of speech, privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity, telecommunications, electronic democracy, digital rights and responsibilities, and the future of technologies and their implications. Researchers who work in any of these areas were invited to submit research abstracts.
Moderator: Jeremy Epstein: SRI International
Winners:
Rebecca Balebako: Carnegie Mellon University. "Nudging Users Towards Privacy on Mobile Devices" "Recent behavioral research on "soft" or "asymmetric" paternalism has begun exploring ways of helping people make better decisions in different aspects of their lives. We apply that research to privacy decision making, investigating how soft paternalistic solutions (also known as nudges) may be used to counter cognitive biases and ameliorate privacy-sensitive behavior. We present the theoretical background of our research, and highlight current industry solutions and research endeavors that could be classified as nudging interventions. We then describe our ongoing work on embedding soft paternalistic mechanisms in location sharing technologies and Twitter privacy agents.
Pedro Leon: Carnegie Mellon University. "Token Attempt: The Misrepresentation of Website Privacy Policies through the Misuse of P3P Compact Policy Tokens"

Na Wang: Pennsylvania State University. "The Illusion of Privacy Control: the Case of Third-Party Apps on Facebook"
We study the information economy created between social networking sites and third-party applications. In particular, we analyze the privacy practices from the 1800 most popular social applications available on Facebook. We identify a number of challenges at the interface between the representation of material terms to the user and the underlying information collection and transmission mechanisms. To address these obstacles, we propose a new design for third-party applications' installation dialogs to provide users with a more effective notice and consent experience.
Ralph Gross: Carnegie Mellon University. "Faces of Facebook: Face Recognition and Web 2.0"
We investigate the technical feasibility of combining online Web 2.0 data with off-the-shelf face recognition technology for the purpose of individual re-identification. The results highlight the privacy risks associated with the convergence of face recognition technologies and increasing online self-disclosures.

Technology, Security & Privacy
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Room D
- Topic One: Physical Security, Security Theater, and Snake Oil
Roger Johnston, Ph.D., CPP: Leader of the Vulunerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory
Effective cyber and information security requires good physical security. Physical security, however, is not a very well developed field. It is dominated by wishful thinking, denial, groupthink, bureaucracy, sloppy reasoning, hype, and "Security Theater". This talk by the head of the Vulnerability Assessment Team at Argonne National Laboratory discusses some of the problems and offers practical suggestions for having better security (both physical and cyber). - Topic Two: Hard Drives, Encryption, Forensics, and Privacy
Simson Garfinkel: Associate Professor, Naval Postgraduate School
Stored data from computer hard drives, digital cameras and cell phones is increasingly playing a role in criminal investigations and military operations. Specialized computer forensic tools make it possible for analysts to recover deleted files, view long-forgotten webmail exchanges, and even capture passwords and encryption keys out of memory. Digital forensics has created powerful tools that can counter the increasing advantage that technology has given to criminals, drug dealers, and terrorists. - Topic Three: Automotive Black Box Initiatives
Tom Kowalick: Co-chair, IEEE P1616 Working Group
The NHTSA began two (2) rulemakings in 2011. One would establish a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) to mandate the installation of Event Data Recorders (EDR) in millions of light vehicles. The second would expand the utility of the amount and type of data EDRs capture in the event of a crash. This presentation examines issues of EDR consumer protection and also offers a simple turn-key solution to protect the security, integrity and authenticity of crash data. Specifically, vehicle owners must "own" EDR data, become "aware" of EDR existence and functioning and must "control access" to the EDR data in their vehicles.

The Privacy Profession -- Corporate Apologists, or Agents of Positive Change?
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 3:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Room C
Much of the recent privacy debate in the United States and Europe centers around the concepts of Privacy by Design and the need for companies and organizations to be more accountable for the information they collect and use. At the center of these efforts are the privacy professionals who shape how companies and organizations govern data. But are these professionals merely looking to justify and defend poor practices or are they positive agents for change helping to better protect privacy?
Moderator: Trevor Hughes: President and CEO, International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)
Panelists:
Mary Ellen Callahan: Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security
Nuala O'Connor Kelly: Senior Counsel and Information Governance & Chief Privacy Leader, General Electric
Jonathan Cantor: Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Commercem,

The Future is Now - the Smart Grid, Should it Mean Living in a Glass House?
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 3:45 PM - 4:45 PM
Room B
The term "Smart Grid" encompasses a host of inter-related technologies rapidly moving into public use to reduce or better manage electricity consumption. Smart grid systems may be designed to allow electricity service providers, users, or third party electricity usage management service providers to monitor and control electricity use. The electricity service providers may view a smart grid system as a way to precisely locate power outages so that technicians can be dispatched to mitigate problems. Pro-environment policymakers may view a smart grid as key to reducing energy consumption. Law enforcement may view smart grid as a tool to identify, track, and manage information associated with people of interest in investigations. National security may see smart grid systems as a means to manage and redirect the flow of electricity across large areas to address crisis or threats. Marketers may view smart grid systems as another opportunity to learn more about consumers and how they use the items they purchase. Finally, consumers, if given control over their smart grid energy usage information may find it beneficial in making better informed decisions regarding their energy consumption. Panel organized by Linda Sherry: Consumer Action.
Moderator: Michelle de Mooy: Consumer Action
Panelists:
Lillie Coney: Associate Director, Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) (introduction)
Jeff Brueggeman: Vice President of Public Policy, AT&T
Michael D. Oldak: Vice President and General Counsel, Utilities Telecom Council (UTC)

The Privacy Tipping Point?
Thursday, June 16, 2011; 4:45 PM - 5:45 PM
Hart Auditorium
As the Orwellian real-time data tracking and auctioning off of individuals is adopted throughout the world, including in repressive regimes, are we witnessing the creation of a combined political and commercial surveillance society? U.S.-based companies and technologies are transforming the global digital marketplace, including through the development of far-reaching approaches designed to integrate advanced data collection techniques with applications that influence unconscious behavior. All the leading digital marketing companies and many global advertisers, for example, are using forms of neuromarketing designed to bypass conscious decision-making, including Yahoo, Google and Microsoft. U.S. companies are also in the forefront of exporting technologies and a business model--known as real-time bidding--where users are bought and sold in milliseconds. Such practices are now found in both the EU and in Asia, including in regimes with human rights violations. Online marketers throughout the world propose a largely uniform approach to ensuring privacy safeguards for such practices--principally self-regulation. There are also new possibilities for the personal management of data profiles proposed to address such concerns. This panel will explore the latest developments in technologically advanced personalized data targeting, the role of the leading online marketing companies, new approaches to policy and safeguard development, and implications to the future of democracy and human rights.

Breakout Session for Lawyers - CLE Available on Request
Cutting Edge Issues of Computers, Privacy, and the Law
Tuesday, June 14, 2011; 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Room C
Moderator: Andrew Grosso: Principal, Andrew Grosso & Associates.
- Topic One: United States v. Antoine Jones: The Fourth Amendment and GPS Tracking
At this time, the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court for review of the en banc decision of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of United States v. Jones, where the appellate court threw out evidence obtained by law enforcement through the use of a GPS tracking device attached to a suspect's car in violation of the terms of the warrant. Other courts, including the panel decision preceding the en banc decision of the D.C..Circuit, have ruled that long-term warrantless GPS surveillance does not violate the Fourth Amendment, relying on the Supreme Court's now ancient decision in the Knotts case. This presentation will examine the legal analysis inherent in both positions, and the repercussions of a Supreme Court decision, either pro or con, on uses of advancing technology in surveillance.
Presented by Stephen C. Lecklar: Shainis & Peltzman; Appellate Counsel for Mr. Antoine Jones. Leckar served for sixteen years as a mediator for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and was a member of the Advisory Committee on Rules of the United States Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. - Topic Two: Global Networking & Social Media: Data, Privacy & Legal Rights
Recent hacks and leaks from commercial Internet sites have raised the visibility of the vulnerability of personal and financial information placed online by users of games and other Internet media used for social interaction and networking. The panel will explore the risks taken by users of these sites and networks; the laws available domestically and internationally to protect and enforce the privacy of such data; and proposals for increasing the privacy and security of such data.
Presented by John L. Nicholson: Attorney, Pillsbury Global Sourcing Group. Mr. Nicholson helps clients structure, negotiate and document complex sourcing transactions. He is also a lead member of the firm's Privacy and Data Protection practice and an active member of the firm's multidisciplinary Social Media, Entertainment & Technology team. Before joining Pillsbury, Mr. Nicholson was the internal project manager for an Oracle implementation at a mid-size company and was the acting director of information technology. Before obtaining his law degree and MBA, Mr. Nicholson was a physicist with the U.S. Department of Energy's Superconducting Super Collider program. - Topic Three: Medical Privacy: Electronic Records, HIPAA, and Patient Privacy
The requirement for health care providers to use Electronic Medical Records to maintain and distribute such records raises the risks to patients whose personal health information and other private data must be maintained. The panel will examine the requirements for Electronic Medical Records; the laws governing and technologies available to implement security for such records; and the risks posed to clients whose information is maintained in such systems of records.
Presented by Mark Rasch: Director of Cybersecurity and Privacy Consulting, CSC and Walter Metz: General Counsel and Corporate Compliance Offcier, Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center. Mr. Rasch is responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive strategy for growing the cybersecurity and privacy consulting practice in CSC. Prior to CSC, Rash was president and co-founder of Secure IT Experts, an information security and privacy consulting company. Before that, he held managing director and senior vice president positions at various consulting firms. Earlier in his career, Rasch was with the U.S. Department of Justice where he led the department's efforts to investigate and prosecute cyber and high-technology crime, starting the computer crime unit within the Criminal Division's Fraud Section, efforts which eventually led to the creation of the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Criminal Division. He earned his juris doctor from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Law and a bachelor's degree in political science from the State University of New York at Albany. Mr. Metz is also a Certified Public Accountant. Among his duties at Brookhaven Hospital are the review of procedures used by hospitals to protect the personal health information of patients. - Topic Four: Ethical and Societal Implications of Advances in Military Significant Technology in the Digital, Global and Democratized Environment
The military, here and abroad, is a great consumer and driver of advanced computer technology. Such technology may be used by various parties to both advance the cause of democratization as well as for control and repression. This panel will examine military-driven developments in computer technology as it affects such matters, particularly in light of recent development sin the Middle East and elsewhere.
Presented by Dr. Herb Lin: Chief Scientist, Computer Science and Telecommunications Board at the National Research Council of the National Academies. Prior to his NRC service, Dr. Lin was a professional staff member and staff scientist for the House Armed Services Committee (1986-1990), where his portfolio included defense policy and arms control issues. He received his doctorate in physics from MIT. - Topic Five: Cloud Computing
This session will focus on some of the legal issues associated with the new multi tenant environment of cloud computing. It will discuss issues related to venue and jurisdiction, roles and responsibilities of cloud providers, copyright and trademark issues for cloud delivery systems, and the enforceability of cloud contracts.
