Dear All, At the upcoming IETF meeting I'm trying to organize a bar BoF around enhancing privacy and reducing censorship.
Hopefully people on this mailinglist are interested in these matters, could help improve the discussion document or can even attend this Bar BoF in person. Bar BoF name: Media without censorship (CensorFree) Location: IETF 84, Vancouver, Canada Date: 1st Aug 2012, 20:00 (Wednesday) Room: to be announced Discussion doc: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-pouwelse-censorfree-scenarios/ Bar BoF status: approved by Transport area directors (see CC:) Technology status: initial running code Abstract: This document describes some scenarios in which one can imagine that the ability of authoritarian regime to censor news dissemination is reduced. It tries to draw some conclusions about what's desirable and what's not acceptable for users in those scenarios. The CensorFree objective is to standardize the protocols for microblogging on smartphones with a focus on security and censorship resistance. Microblog entries are short text messages, possibly enriched with pictures or streaming video. The goal is to devise protocols which guard against all known forms of censorship such as: cyberspace sabotage, digital eavesdropping, infiltration, fraud, Internet kill switches and lawyer-based attacks with the best known protective methods. The discussion document lists some scenarios, but is still very much a work in progress. Hopefully the knowledge from draft-iab-privacy-considerations-03 and draft-iab-privacy-terminology-01 can be included in this doc real soon. Please reply if you are interested in these matters or have ideas on this direction. -Johan Pouwelse, Delft University of Technology
