KEYNOTE: Christopher Soghoian

Christopher Soghoian, American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

Sharing the blame for the NSA's dragnet surveillance programs [YouTube]

Fifteen years after the publication of "Why Johnny Can't Encrypt", most users still can't, and thus don't encrypt. Even in the wake of the Snowden disclosures, the best that the tech industry has delivered (after years of begging, pleading and harassment by activists) is default HTTPS between the user and server. Emails are still stored in plain text at the service provider, and in many cases, sent between different email services without any encryption. Files are often not encrypted on our computers or devices, and then when they are backed up to the cloud, the companies providing those services generally have access to all of our data. We know how to do this in a more secure way, but the mainstream products provided by big tech companies to consumers rarely do so.

Because so much of our sensitive data is transmitted or stored in unencrypted form, the biggest problem for the NSA is not code breaking, but analysis: How to parse all of those emails, instant messages, web browsing records, and location data. For all of the fantastic cryptographic algorithms and security protocols that the security community has created, they aren't much of a problem for governments that seek to collect as much private information as they can. The blame for this is ours - our academic community that evaluates success by published papers, not on whether or not the security innovations ever reach users. We have failed to protect the public, and, in many ways, have made things even worse.

That needs to change. There are of course real barriers - including serious usability issues and advertising supported business models - that make default use of crypto difficult. We must identify these, and then find innovative ways around them. Post Snowden, this community has a big job, but, if we want to avoid living in a surveillance state, we must do it.

Bio: Christopher Soghoian is a privacy researcher and activist, working at the intersection of technology, law and policy. He is the Principal Technologist with the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the American Civil Liberties Union. Soghoian completed his Ph.D. at Indiana University in 2012, which focused on the role that third party service providers play in facilitating law enforcement surveillance of their customers.
