Loaning Your Soul to the Devil: Influencing Policy Without Selling Out |
| Practitioners and researchers in computer security and cryptology often find themselves sought out not only for technical expertise but also by policymakers, lobbyists, and the media. Unfortunately, they are often ill-prepared for the public policy culture, and risk finding themselves misused, misunderstood or misquoted. It doesn't have to be that way. This talk will present a personal view of the relationship between science and public policy, focusing on the different value systems, protocols, and expectations found in the two worlds. It really is possible to maintain one's integrity while making a difference, even inside the Beltway.
Matt Blaze has been involved in public policy issues related to cryptology and computer security for many years. In 1994 he discovered a serious flaw in the US Government's "Clipper" encryption system. He has been invited to testify before the US congress several times on the subject of "key escrow" systems, providing a technical perspective on how to balance the needs of law enforcement for access with those of private citizens for privacy. This work contributed to the recent shift in U.S. encryption policy. More recently, he has been active in the analysis of the FBI's "Carnivore" Internet wiretap system. |

| Sunday night social events are a long running TPRC tradition. In the past we've brought you crab feasts, luaus, and Mardi Gras celebrations. This year we're going to ask TPRC attendees to take part in a TV game show. OK, it won't actually be on TV and you won't be able to win a million dollars. But we do promise a fun (and educational) evening and fabulous prizes for the winners. Brush up on your policy wonk trivia and come to dinner Sunday night ready to play. If you are interested in helping to organize this event, please contact the TPRC Program Chair, Lorrie Cranor. |
