Aujourd’hui mercredi 30 juin à 13h00 UTC, Le Chapitre malien d’Internet Society (ISOC MALI) organise un webinaire ‘La sécurité grâce au cryptage‘. Il s’agit du cinquième et dernier de la série de webinaires de l’ISOC Mali sur les thèmes des fondamentaux de l’Internet Society
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.

La PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) constitue la base incontournable de la confiance numérique sur Internet avec la certification des serveurs (https). Aujourd’hui, le déploiement des certificats serveur s’accélère et se démocratise grâce à l’initiative “Let’s Encrypt”. La technologie “PKI 2.0” développée et brevetée par NTX Research va beaucoup plus loin : elle permet le déploiement à très grande échelledes certificats pour les personnes (citoyens, internautes, consommateurs, professionnels) et pour les objets connectés.

On Wednesday January 20 2021, at 10am-11am CET (09:00-10:00 UTC), Encryption Europe presents a webinar ‘End-To-End Encryption In The Financial Sector – Challenges And Opportunities‘. Such challenges exist in many places, from managing keys & certificates to scanning messages for compliance, anti-money-laundering, or viruses, preventing phishing, whaling, email spoofing in the banking back-office, and on payment networks likeSWIFT. EE’s experts will discuss how end-to-end encryption solutions can do much to resolve these and other issues.
