Episode Description
The recent take-down of 300 criminal syndicates in more than 100 countries by the DoJ, selling their own 12,000 encrypted devices and services to which they had the decryption keys, has resurrected the question of encryption and lawmakers’ claims that backdoors into encryption are necessary. Lawmakers, and even some data security personalities, point to this event saying it proves encryption should have backdoors. There are also claims that the fourth amendment supports this view. But wait! Doesn’t it prove otherwise? And, doesn’t the long history of failures for creating encryption backdoors prove that encryption solutions with backdoors built in put everyone at risk? Why can’t encryption be engineered to let in only the good guys and those meant to encrypt and decrypt the data, and not allow others access? Listen in as cybersecurity and encryption pioneer and multi-award-winning security and cryptography expert, owning many patents on cryptographic and network protocols, Dr. Steven Bellovin, answers these questions and many more in this highly informative discussion with Rebecca. You will hear insights and facts about encryption that have not been discussed anywhere else!
Data Security and Privacy with the Privacy Professor
New shows the first Saturday of each month at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
There are more information security and privacy threats than ever before. As more technologies emerge, more surveillance tactics are used, and more artificial intelligence systems are deployed, cybersecurity and privacy risks grow exponentially. Rebecca has spent her entire career working to improve information security and privacy protections, by not only raising awareness of the issues within businesses and other types of organizations, but also by raising the awareness of these risks in the public and helping them to understand how to better protect their own personal data, allowing them to take their privacy protections into their own hands. Rebecca offers information about these existing and emerging security and privacy risks and provides fresh insights into the impacts of exploiting these risks, and gives guidance, tips, expert advice and news, with fascinating guests, to help all organizations, and the general public, understand what they need to do to mitigate these risks.
