The second lecture of our security and privacy series. By undergraduate student
Eric Dong.
In this talk, I will discuss censorship firewalls used in countries such as
China and Iran, and how to counteract them. The focus is on advanced
application-layer and Deep Packet Inspection firewalls, and unexpected hurdles
in overcoming censorship by these firewalls due to the need for very
unconventional adversary models. Approaches of the privacy tool Tor, popular
proprietary freeware Ultrasurf and Freegate, payware VPNs, and my own
experimental Kirisurf project are examined, where strengths and difficulties
with each system are noted.</p>

<abstract><p>
The first lecture of our security and privacy series. By PhD student Sarah
Harvey.
Recent media coverage has brought to light the presence of various government
agencies' surveillance programs, along with the possible interference of
governments in the establishment and development of standards and software.
This brings to question of just how much we need to be concerned about the
security and privacy of our information.</p>
<p>In this talk we will discuss what all this means in technological and social
contexts, examine the status quo, and consider the long-standing implications.
This talk assumes no background knowledge of security or privacy, nor any
specific technical background. All students are welcome and encouraged to
attend.</p>
