Privacy and Security in an Age of Surveillance (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 14401)

Authors: Bart Preneel, Philipp Rogaway, Mark D. Ryan, and Peter Y. A. Ryan

Published in: Dagstuhl Manifestos, Volume 5, Issue 1 (2015)


Abstract
Before the Snowden revelations about the scope of surveillance by the NSA and its partner agencies, most people assumed that surveillance was limited to what is necessary and proportionate for these agencies to fulfil their prescribed role. People assumed that oversight mechanisms were in place to ensure that surveillance was appropriately constrained. But the Snowden revelations undermine these beliefs. We now know that nations are amassing personal data about people's lives at an unprecedented scale, far beyond most people's wildest expectations. The scope of state surveillance must be limited by an understanding of its costs as well as benefits. The costs are not limited to financial ones but also include eroding personal rights and the degradation to the integrity, vibrancy, or fundamental character of civil society. This manifesto stems from a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop held in late 2014. The meeting was a four-day gathering of experts from multiple disciplines connected with privacy and security. The aim was to explore how society as a whole, and the computing science community in particular, should respond to the Snowden revelations. More precisely, the meeting discussed the scope and nature of the practice of mass-surveillance, basic principles that should underlie reforms, and the potential for technical, legal, and other means to help stem or restore human rights threatened by ubiquitous electronic surveillance.

Privacy and Security in an Age of Surveillance (Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 14401)

Authors: Bart Preneel, Phillip Rogaway, Mark D. Ryan, and Peter Y. A. Ryan

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 4, Issue 9 (2015)


Abstract
The Snowden revelations have demonstrated that the US and other nations are amassing data about people's lives at an unprecedented scale. Furthermore, these revelations have shown that intelligence agencies are not only pursuing passive surveillance over the world's communication systems, but are also seeking to facilitate such surveillance by undermining the security of the internet and communications technologies. Thus the activities of these agencies threatens not only the rights of individual citizens but also the fabric of democratic society. Intelligence services do have a useful role to play in protecting society and for this need the capabilities and authority to perform targeted surveillance. But the scope of such surveillance must be strictly limited by an understanding of its costs as well as benefits, and it should not impinge on the privacy rights of citizens any more than necessary. Here we report on a recent Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop addressing these issues - a four-day gathering of experts from multiple disciplines connected with privacy and security. The meeting explored the scope of mass-surveillance and the deliberate undermining of the security of the internet, defined basic principles that should underlie needed reforms, and discussed the potential for technical, legal and regulatory means to help restore the security of the internet and stem infringement of human-rights by ubiquitous electronic surveillance.

Verifiable Elections and the Public (Dagstuhl Seminar 11281)

Authors: R. Michael Alvarez, Josh Benaloh, Alon Rosen, and Peter Y. A. Ryan

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 1, Issue 7 (2011)


Abstract
This report documents the program of Dagstuhl Seminar 11281 ``Verifiable Elections and the Public''. This seminar brought together leading researchers from computer and social science, policymakers, and representatives of industry to present new research, develop new interdisciplinary approaches for studying election technologies, and to determine ways to bridge the gap between research and practice.

09311 Abstracts Collection – Classical and Quantum Information Assurance Foundations and Practice

Authors: Samuel L. Braunstein, Hoi-Kwong Lo, Kenny Paterson, and Peter Y. A. Ryan

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9311, Classical and Quantum Information Assurance Foundations and Practice (2010)


Abstract
From 26 July 2009 to 31 July 2009, the Dagstuhl Seminar 09311 ``Classical and Quantum Information Assurance Foundations and Practice'' was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. The workshop was intended to explore the latest developments and discuss the open issues in the theory and practice of classical and quantum information assurance. A further goal of the workshop was to bring together practitioners from both the classical and the quantum information assurance communities. To date, with a few exceptions, these two communities seem to have existed largely separately and in a state of mutual ignorance. It is clear however that there is great potential for synergy and cross-fertilization between and this we sought to stimulate and facilitate.
