"The Internet is Insecure and Will Likely Remain So - What Now?"
Henning Schulzrinne
Chief Technology Officer,
US Federal Communications Commission
Thursday, November 13, 2012
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Klaus Advanced Computing Building; Room 2447
266 Ferst Drive, Atlanta, GA 30332
ABSTRACT: A common claim is that the Internet should be redesigned to make it "more secure". However, I believe that attempts to fix security problems at the network level are likely misguided and futile. We need to take into account the motivations of real-world attackers and capabilities of non-technical users. In the talk, I will propose some of the principles and approaches that combine new technical capabilities, public policy and incentives to reduce the overall impact of security vulnerabilities. I will also describe some of the FCC public policy approaches in the area of botnet mitigation, routing security, wireless infrastructure security and DNSsec deployment, as well as the threats posed by caller ID spoofing and the opportunity offered by the redesign of the phone system. Public safety systems such as the next-generation 9-1-1 system illustrate new security threats, such as location spoofing and human resource exhaustion.
BIO: Henning Schulzrinne received degrees in economics and electrical engineering from the Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany, the University of Cincinnati, Ohio and the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts. He was a member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill and an associate department head at GMD-Fokus (Berlin), before joining the Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments at Columbia University, New York. He is currently serving as the Chief Technology Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

"How Cryptosystems Are Really Broken"
Professor Adi Shamir Paul and Marlene Borman Professor of Applied Mathematics, Weizmann Institute of Science
Thursday, March 8, 2012
3:00 pm
Klaus Advanced Computing Building; Room 1116 E&W
266 Ferst Drive, Atlanta, GA 30332
Reception immediately following
Hosted by: Georgia Tech Information Security Center and Algorithms and Randomness Center
ABSTRACT: Most of the cryptosystems we currently use are highly secure, and cannot be broken by mathematical cryptanalysis. However, over the last fifteen years researchers have developed many types of physical attacks on their implementations which can easily bypass their mathematical security. In this talk I will survey some of the latest attacks, and show how difficult it is to build a truly secure communication system. The talk will not require any prior knowledge in cryptanalysis.
BIO: Adi Shamir is an Israeli cryptographer who has made numerous groundbreaking contributions to the theory and practice of computer science. The Paul and Marlene Borman Professor of Applied Mathematics at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Shamir is the 2002 winner of the ACM Turing Award for co-inventing (with Rivest and Adelman) the RSA cryptosystem, among countless other contributions to cryptography and cryptanalysis (code-breaking). He is well known for proving the equivalence of IP and PSPACE, and for his work on devices for factoring large integers. Shamir is also the recipient of (among others) the Erdos Prize and the Paris Kanellakis Theory and Practice Award.

Georgia Tech Information Security Center Distinguished Lecture
"The Evolution of Security of Cloud Computing"
John L. Manferdelli, Senion Principal Engineer, Intel Corporation
Monday, October 10, 2011
4:00pm – 5:00pm
Klaus Advanced Computing Building
Room 1116
ABSTRACT: Amazon is reported to have said that "Cloud Computing is another name for the Internet." Many companies have policy initiatives encouraging or even mandating the use of "cloud" computing despite, or perhaps because of, the current confusing marketing miasma about clouds. While IT organizations hope for significant cost savings on existing applications from clouds, cloud computing has distinct features and technology that offer new capabilities like the ability to scale quickly without large capital expenditures and efficient sharing and curation of very large data sets.
Cloud computing in all its incarnations (Infrastructure as a Service, Software as a Service, Platform as a Service) raises a number of security questions that current providers have not addressed (or remain ominously silent about): increased susceptibility to insider attacks due to concentration of valuable data, "fate-sharing" and other vulnerabilities due to multi-tenancy, policy issues arising from multi-jurisdictional siting, and security vulnerabilities and benefits arising from scale operations.
Despite these potential issues, cloud computing can be safe with judicial and transparent application of some simple security principles. We discuss cloud infrastructure, economics, operations and security infrastructure and the special benefits that clouds can provide.
BIO: John Manferdelli is a Senior Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation and co-Principal Investigator (with David Wagner) of the Intel Science and Technology Center for Secure Computing at the University of California at Berkeley.

Health Systems Seminar Series
Challenges in Software Engineering for Assisted Living
Carl A. Gunter, Ph.D.
Professor of Computer Science & Director of Illinois Security Lab - Center for Health Information Privacy and Security; & HHS Strategic Healthcare IT Advanced Research Projects on Security (SHARPS) University of Illinois
Wednesday, March 9, 2011 • 11:00am - 12:00pm
Health Systems Institute, Suite 207, 2nd Floor,
828 W. Peachtree Street, N.W. Atlanta GA 30332-0477
Abstract
Assisted Living offers the prospect of better care at lower costs by exploiting technology advances that enable low-cost medical devices that can report their results from remote locations, such as homes or assisted living residences. However, this promise also faces a collection of sobering challenges for the software engineering of such systems. In particular, there is a need for them to be highly reliable, very user-friendly, and respect the safety and privacy constraints befitting their application. Moreover, this needs to be accomplished in a business and regulatory environment oriented more toward hospital systems; such systems often fail to meet the requirements for interoperability and extensibility needed by assisted living systems. This talk overviews some of these challenges and experience with working on them, touching on ideas for the development of an "Assisted Living Service Provider (ALSP)" akin to the current services that monitor homes for fires and security violations. Key issues include how to achieve reliability for extensible medical systems and how to protect security and privacy while maintaining ease of use in remote monitoring systems.

"Next Gen Identity Management for Networks: Old Problems, New Challenges"
Anthony Rutowski, VP for Regulatory Affairs, VeriSign, Inc.
[Presentation]
This lecture describes a significant initiative of almost non-stop global activity over the past year that brought together a diverse array of people and communities to explore and map the uncharted new universe of Identity Management. The "map" consists of four reports that attempt to structure a Next Generation Identity Management universe and chart a destiny through a set of requirements and framework(s).
The objective of this endeavor falls into the category of "grand challenge," but is an essential one for some reasonable level of cybersecurity as well as a broad ensemble of government, business, and consumser needs, including the holy grail of nomadicity - anytime, anywhere, using any device, by anyone.
This lecture also poses a potentially controversial implementation hypothesis that reaches back more than a hundred years to early open nomadic radio-based network infrastructures, and suggests that similar regulatory and global cooperative agreements serve as useful models.
