E-mail transactions and confirmations have become commonplace +and the +information therein can often be sensitive. We use email for purposes as +mundane as inbound marketing, to as sensitive as account passwords and +financial transactions. And nearly all our email is sent in clear text; +we trust only that others will not eavesdrop or modify our messages. But +why rely on the goodness or apathy of your fellow man when you can +ensure your message's confidentiality with encryption so strong not even +the NSA can break? Speaker (Kenneth Ho) will discuss email encryption, +and GNU Privacy Guard to ensure that your messages are sent, knowing +that only your intended recipient can receive it. +

The purpose of the talk is to address how students interact +with the +internet, and possibilities for how they could do so more +efficiently. Information on events and happenings on UW campus is +currently hosted on a desperate, series of internet +applications. Interactions with WatSFIC is done over a Yahoo! mailing +list, GLOW is organized through a Facebook group, campus information +at large comes from imprint.uwaterloo.ca. There has been +historical pressures from various bodies, including some thinkers in +feds and the administration, to centralize these issues. To create a +one stop shop for students on campus. +

It is not through confining data in cages that we will finally link +all +student activities together, instead it is by truly freeing it. When +data +can be anywhere, then it will be everywhere students need it. This is +the +underlying concept behind metadata, data that is freed from the confines +of +it's technical imprisonment. Metadata is the extension of people, +organizations, and activities onto the internet in a way that is above +the +traditional understanding of how people interact with their networks. +The +talk will explore how Metadata can exist freely on the internet, how +this +affects concepts like Web 3.0, and how the university and the federation +are +poised to take advantage of this burgeoning new technology through +adoptions +of portals which will allow students to interact with a metaverse of +data. +
