On Thursday 5 August 2021 from 10am-3:30pm BRT (13:00-18:30 UTC) the Recife Law and Technology Research Institute will convene the 2nd ‘Seminar on Cryptography, Politics and Fundamental Rights‘. The challenges that the full employment of cryptography face in Brazil and in the world are continuous. Among proposals for filtering communications content, weakening cryptography for access to communications by investigative authorities, and making it mandatory for providers to employ message traceability mechanisms, the risks that the security of connected infrastructures and users’ rights face are varied. In order to map these policies, the contexts from which they arise and the challenges they potentially offer, we will bring together panelists from different regions of the world – Asia, Europe and the Americas – as well as researchers and Brazilian police representatives. The event is part of the schedule of #CriptoAgosto2021 and has the support of the Internet Society, Internet Society – Brazil Chapter, and Coalizão Direitos na Rede. EN/PT interpretation will be provided.
Na quinta-feira, 5 de agosto de 2021, das 10h às 15h30 BRT (13h às 18h30 UTC), o Instituto de Pesquisa em Direito e Tecnologia do Recife realizará o 2º ‘Seminário de Criptografia, Política e Direitos Fundamentais‘. São contínuos os desafios que o pleno emprego da criptografia enfrenta no Brasil e no mundo. Entre propostas de filtragem de conteúdos de comunicações, enfraquecimento da criptografia para acesso a comunicações por autoridades investigativas e obrigatoriedade para que provedores empreguem mecanismos de rastreabilidade de mensagens, são variados os riscos que a segurança das infraestruturas conectadas e os direitos dos usuários enfrentam. Com a finalidade de mapear essas políticas, os contextos de onde surgem e os desafios que potencialmente oferecem, reuniremos painelistas de variadas regiões do mundo – Ásia, Europa e Américas – além de pesquisadores e representações policiais brasileiras. O evento faz parte da programação do #CriptoAgosto2021 e conta com o apoio da Internet Society, Internet Society – Brazil Chapter, e Coalizão Direitos na Rede. Será fornecida interpretação EN / PT.

On Thursday 10 June 2021. at 16:00 BST (15:00 UTC) the Internet Society UK England Chapter hosts a webinar and roundtable ‘Understanding the UK Online Safety Bill‘. On 12 May 2021 the UK Government published the draft Online Safety Bill, calling it a “manifesto commitment to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online while defending free expression.” The Bill contains several proposals including some suggesting that Encryption should be weakened through various methods. This has generated much pushback from UK entities and the Internet Society has drafted an online letter to members of the UK Parliament, co-signed by dozens of organisations, that “End-to-End Encryption keeps us safe”. This letter will be published shortly. This webinar and roundtable will explore the more controversial aspects of the Online Safety Bill, and why there is so much pushback to some of its articles.

On Thursday April 29 2021, at 10:00-11:00 CEST (08:00-09:00 UTC) Encryption Europe and SEALD invite a panel of experts invited to share their thoughts on the complicated question: Legal interception of communications – The inextricable issue of backdoors in encryption. Anyone who has heard of encryption knows that backdoors are one of the few options for law enforcement to intercept encrypted criminal communications. However, the same vulnerabilities can be used by malicious actors to penetrate the IT systems of companies or public agencies. Is there a fair balance between the use of backdoors and encrypted solutions that can protect citizens and what are the risks for industry players?

Internet Society Fundamentals aims to develop new community leaders equipped to tell data-driven stories about the Internet Society’s key projects. This will equip members to work with their Chapters to create local awareness, extending the reach of our work for an Internet as a force for good.
In its first year, the program consists of two full weeks of webinars linked to Internet Society projects. Sessions will be held from 12-23 April, 2021.
During each webinar, we will cover the project’s main concepts with a focus on narrative and strategies to approach multiple audiences. In this way, Chapter members can feel empowered to raise awareness through concrete local initiatives that support the development and positioning of the Chapter.
Arnaud Laprévote,On Wednesday March 31 2021, at 10:00-11:00 CEST (08:00-09:00 UTC)Encryption Europe invites experts from Fair&Smart and Lybero to discuss how three crucial components will interact to protect the future of Europe: Encryption, the Cloud, and the GDPR. The future is not as unpredictable as we may think. We know that the future of Europe relies on our capacity to innovate and keep innovation at home. We also know that people and businesses in Europe will care about the privacy and protection of their valuable data. And that cloud providers will play a crucial role in hosting our data at scale and cost-effectively. For all these reasons, we can safely say that our data will be processed in the cloud, under the legal safeguard of the GDPR, and enforced by strong encryption without backdoors. But there will be challenges for all organizations: from a technical point of view, how to handle encryption keys? how to handle backups and restoration? Is it compatible with web applications? And from a legal point of view: will our current processes and practices compatible with GDPR? how to protect data while allowing internal and external controls?

In recent months, governments’ technical capabilities to search mobile devices has come under greater scrutiny. Newly published research from academics and organizations like Upturn have cast new light on how governments may be gaining access to mobile devices and its consequences. The American Civil Liberties Union has also launched a lawsuitagainst the FBI, demanding they disclose records of its “technological capabilities for retrieving information from locked electronic devices.” At the same time, across the Atlantic, Europol has seemed to pour resources into government hacking with the launch of its new “Decryption Platform.”
Experts from academia and civil society will discuss government hacking, its consequences for security and privacy, and its influence on the debate around end-to-end encryption.

On Thursday October 21 2021 from 14:00-18:30 CEST (12:00-16:30 UTC) Encryption Europe celebrates the first Global Encryption Day with three interactive webinars.
