    Keys under doormats - mandating insecurity by requiring government access to all data and communications

    No full text
    Abstract Twenty years ago, law enforcement organizations lobbied to require data and communication services to engineer their products to guarantee law enforcement access to all data. After lengthy debate and vigorous predictions of enforcement channels “going dark,” these attempts to regulate the emerging Internet were abandoned. In the intervening years, innovation on the Internet flourished, and law enforcement agencies found new and more effective means of accessing vastly larger quantities of data. Today we are again hearing calls for regulation to mandate the provision of exceptional access mechanisms. In this report, a group of computer scientists and security experts, many of whom participated in a 1997 study of these same topics, has convened to explore the likely effects of imposing extraordinary access mandates. We have found that the damage that could be caused by law enforcement exceptional access requirements would be even greater today than it would have been 20 years ago. In the wake of the growing economic and social cost of the fundamental insecurity of today’s Internet environment, any proposals that alter the security dynamics online should be approached with caution. Exceptional access would force Internet system developers to reverse “forward secrecy” design practices that seek to minimize the impact on user privacy when systems are breached. The complexity of today’s Internet environment, with millions of apps and globally connected services, means that new law enforcement requirements are likely to introduce unanticipated, hard to detect security flaws. Beyond these and other technical vulnerabilities, the prospect of globally deployed exceptional access systems raises difficult problems about how such an environment would be governed and how to ensure that such systems would respect human rights and the rule of law

    Untold Story: Laura Huelster

    No full text
    The purpose of this research is to find out the important achievements of Laura Huestler and the contributions she has made to the athletic department at the University of Illinois. Our main research questions are: What were sports like for women growing up? How was she treated differently than males in sport? Did becoming a professor enhance her pull in the athletic department? Was she treated differently because she played field hockey, not tennis or something more feminine? Did anything in her childhood influence her beliefs of equality in sport?Submitted by Karen Rodriguez'g ([email protected]) on 2011-08-17T21:10:32Z No. of bitstreams: 1 LauraHuelster.pdf: 831763 bytes, checksum: 90cfa2201c75b93a4f27a9897e30f373 (MD5)Made available in DSpace on 2011-08-17T21:10:32Z (GMT).

    Sustaining a Welcoming Community: A Multifaceted Approach in Rural Nebraska

    No full text
    Located in southeastern Nebraska, the rural town of Crete has a population size of approximately 7,000 people. The town is home to a small liberal arts university, a meat-processing plant, and a dog food plant. Crete's history is closely tied with immigration. First home to many Czech immigrants, during the past several decades, the town has predominately experienced an influx of Latinos. As a welcoming city, the town provides various means of assistance to community members through the collaborative efforts of nonprofit, governmental, and educational entities. As faculty members of the Department of Modern Languages at that small liberal arts institution, Doane University, integral to our department's goal is to promote intercultural experiences for our students and engage them in the community. We do so through sustained points of contact with community members and organizations, collaborating with the Crete Public Schools adult education program, Sixpence Early Learning Center, the Crete Chamber of Commerce, local churches, and other members of the community and university. Following collaborative and experiential learning models, the result is a dialogic, polydirectional, mutually beneficial relationship. This presentation is intended for those interested to learn more how small institutions and communities can collaborate to provide a supportive and welcoming environment. Particular to the presentation, we will share what a framework looks like for engaged teaching, service, and scholarship in a welcoming committee. We will also detail some of the successes and challenges associated with such work with the hope to generate a productive conversation around sustaining a welcoming community.AUTHOR AFFILIATION: Jared List, assistant professor of Spanish, Department of Modern Languages, Doane University, [email protected] (Corresponding Author); Kristen Hetrick, associate professor of German/department chair, Deptartment of Modern Languages, Doane University; Josh Pope, assistant professor of Spanish, Department of Modern Languages, Doane University; Ryan Hinz; Nancy TellezLearn more how small institutions and communities can collaborate to provide a supportive and welcoming environment.
