Event: A Top Concern for Democracy: Disinformation w/ Marvin Cable
Date & Time: Friday October 2, 2020 @ 6:00-7:00 PM
Location: Virtual
Description: Recently, the Director of the NSA ranked combating misinformation, disinformation, and influence operations as a top priority for the prosperity of United States. And, rightly so. As our lives move more-and-more online, we rely more-and-more upon the information provided to us via online sources. Even seemingly innocent or non-biased online information sources have fallen victim to strong undercurrents of information warfare. The consequences of false or misleading information online have wide-ranging and profound negative impacts upon human affairs. Most simply, reasonable people have completely different versions of basic facts, resulting in opinions and decisions based on the different versions of facts. In this talk, Marvin Cable, Esq., will present the current state of information warfare and its pressing threat to the prosperity of humanity. If the current trend continues, as suggested by knowledgeable intellectuals, we may see civil war, not only in our country, but in many others around the world, as these issues threaten the foundation of government processes and catalyzes civil distrust in governments. Further, common issues like viruses, health-care, global warming, and human rights, will be subject to the will of irrational or dysfunctional decision-making. And, these are just a few of the issues - the list of potential negative impacts is long. To keep this talk focused, however, Cable will primarily focus on major threats that Misinformation, Disinformation, and Influence Operations has and will have in the short-term future, specifically in 2020 and the next several years. Marvin Cable is a lecturer at the College of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts - Amherst, a top-tier institution dedicated to computing for the common good. Currently, during this fall 2020 semester, Cable spends his time teaching two courses: Internet Law & Policy (COMPSCI 563) and Computer Crime Law (COMPSCI 391L). Original Event Posting Recording

Event: Talk from Wayne Burleson on RFID Privacy
Date & Time: Thursday November 29, 2018 @ 5:30-7:00 PM
Location: ILC N211
Description: Although RFID has been widely known for its impact on supply chain and inventory management, two of the most exciting applications from a privacy perspective are in: 1) transportation payment systems and 2) implantable medical devices. This talk presents recent research in both areas, drawing parallels but making important distinctions between the two applications. Both projects involve broad international collaborations due to the large number of technical disciplines involved, as well as varying legal and societal dimensions across different cultures. Transportation payment systems have the ability to divulge user location and hence travel habits. However they also facilitate sophisticated dynamic fare schemes and optimization of the transportation system. Implantable medical devices contain extremely private information about personal health and habits, as well as enabling tracking and other privacy concerns. However, the ability to wirelessly access implanted devices provides enormous health and cost benefits. Both topics raise interesting cross-disciplinary issues in economics, threat models, and ethics as well as more technical aspects of security engineering. This talk will review engineering solutions to both of these domains, including low-power cryptography, physical unclonable functions, and prototyping techniques. Professor Wayne Burleson will present this tech talk on November 29th at 5:30PM in ILC N211.Original Event Posting

We’ll then move on to the privacy protections you have, both from government surveillance and more generally. We’ll finish up with a brief explanation of how and why our government can do more than you might think in some circumstances — particularly when dealing with foreign intelligence — and how and why we might constrain both public and private actors’ actions that invade our privacy.
