So: December 16th, I’ve been invited to speak at the venerable HP Colloquium on #InformationSecurity held at @RoyalHolloway. I’ve just submitted the attached abstract. #NoPressure #EndsAllTheWayDown /
2021-11-12 11:21:25+00:00
A title for your talk
“Ends” All The Way Down: How we misunderstand Security, Privacy, Identity, and Anonymity.
A short blurb/abstract for your talk
Diffie says that encryption is possibly the only conceivable way to communicate a secret over distance through an untrusted medium. Less well understood is that end-to-end encryption is similarly perhaps the only way to maintain an entity relationship over both distance and time through an untrusted medium. We will demonstrate that this facility is critical for innovation because all concepts of identity are founded upon entity relationships, rather than upon traditional, blunt abstractions of attributes, credentials and claims. We will explore this model of information security, discussing how it impacts the future of technology and the public debate around end-to-end encryption.
