Moving Toward a Censorship-free Internet #netfreedon @ietf @internetsociety

by

An article Moving Toward a Censorship-free Internet by Dr. Johan Pouwelse in the October 2012 IETF Journal follows up on a meeting at IETF84 in Vancouver that discussed various technical solutions to government Internet censorship of the kind seen in the Arab Spring.

Technologies include:

  • Bluetooth Transfer – offline peer-to-peer.
  • Musubi – distributed crypto-enabled smartphone IM app
  • Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) – even via repeated bluetooth transfers..
  • Twimight – Decentralized microblogging app for Android
  • P2PSIP – peer-to-peer VOIP – an IETF standard, but with dubious security
  • PPSP – peer-to-peer streaming protocol – serverless video streaming

ANNOUNCE: Data Set Identifier Interoperability email list #dsii #data @IETF

by
ietf

ietfA new IETF non-working group email list has been created to discuss Data Set Identifier Interoperability (DSII).

Purpose: This list will be focused on the persistent identification of data sets that are shared. One primary use case will be the inter-relation of scientific data sets produced by different research teams; other use cases might include media developed by different sources and combined into a common collection. The first topic of discussion is expected to be permanent identifiers for data sets: their format, how they are assigned and resolved. This will draw from existing methods such as DOI, URN, PURL. Access policies based on identifiers, discovery, association of meta-data, and data integrity are expected to be later topics.

List address: [email protected]

African Internet Standards Forum 5/12 – remote participation details #ietf #afnog @InternetSociety

by
Internet Society

Internet SocietyThe Internet Society Africa Regional Bureau is organizing the first ever Africa wide Internet Standards Forum that will take place during AfNOG-13 and AfriNIC-16 in Serekunda, Gambia on May 12th 2012 from 0900-1300UTC (0500-0900). The forum will also be streamed live on the online conferencing tool Webex.

The forum will discuss Internet standards and the role the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) plays in setting open Internet standards. African participation in IETF activities has been limited and this forum is an effort to encourage African participation in the IETF, especially for graduating class, Masters and Ph.D. level University students and instructors in order for Africa to play a role in the development of the Internet.

To participate, register at https://isoc.webex.com/isoc/j.php?ED=180521807&RG=1&UID=1368236882&RT=MiMzNA%3D%3D
