For the past 50 years, governments have carried out a campaign against end-to-end encryption (E2EE), a technology that secures communications so that only the message endpoints (the sender and receiver of the message) can see the unencrypted communication. From the 1970s to the late 1990s, the fight against widespread use of E2EE was carried out largely by the National Security Agency (NSA), with the FBI joining the battle in the early 1990s.

One never wants to be in an “I-told-you-so” position when a national security crisis comes to pass. And yet that is exactly where my cybersecurity colleagues and I now find ourselves. In October, the Wall Street Journal reported:A cyberattack tied to the Chinese government penetrated the networks of a swath of U.S. broadband providers, potentially accessing information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests.

In an October 2023 executive order, President Biden drew a highly detailed but largely aspirational road map for the safe and responsible development and use of artificial intelligence (AI). The executive order’s premise that AI “holds extraordinary potential for both promise and peril” is perhaps nowhere more clearly manifested than in efforts currently well underway to adopt AI and other advanced technologies in the administration of government programs.

Internet-enabled child sexual abuse exploitation (CSAE) is a horrible crime—and there’s no doubt that some CSAE investigations are stymied because criminals hide evidence using end-to-end encryption (E2EE), a method of securing communications so that only the message endpoints can view the unencrypted message.

By some counts, the “Crypto Wars” have been going on for a half century. Starting in the 1970s with claims that publication of cryptographic research would endanger national security, and continuing over whether the National Security Agency (NSA) should control the development of cryptographic standards for non-national security agencies, the Crypto Wars then focused on export control.

President Biden recently told Big Tech he’s coming after them. Whether the administration will succeed is questionable—the Frightful Five have a strong lobbying presence in Washington—but one thing is clear: The climate in D.C. around the tech sector has changed. Politicians are a lot less enamored of Silicon Valley than during the lovefest of a decade ago. The president outlined three reasons for his concerns. The first is massive privacy infringements by the tech sector.

June 19-22, 2023This 4-day workshop is for social scientists and legal scholars working on cybersecurity policy. Its intent is to provide an introduction to the technical aspects of cybersecurity, including hardware, software, networking, and cryptography. This will be from both, a hands-on, practical perspective, as well as a theoretical one. Participants will learn not only how computers and networks function but will also practice and discuss actual attacks in hands-on labs.
