Title:
NSA killed the Internet. Now We need to build a GNU one: Solutions for PKI, Messaging, Search and Computation
Abstract:
Starting with a motivation based on recent revelations about the current state of the cyberwar, this talk will present technical solutions towards a secure and fully decentralized future network. Specifically, this talk will introduce the GNU Name System, a decentralized public key infrastructure, the extensible PSYC2 messaging protocol for scalable social networking, and an expressive distributed search mechanism based on regular expressions. Finally, I will discuss ongoing developments on privacy-preserving multiparty computations. All of the presented work is being implemented and freely available as part of the GNUnet P2P framework.
