 The Constitution ◦ There are no laws specifically stating the right to privacy ◦ Amendments imply privacy rights  Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments (Restriction of soldiers being quartered in homes, unreasonable search and seizures, and being a witness against yourself, respectively)  The Computer ◦ Consumer data banks  Computers made it easier to store vast amounts of personal data (credit agencies)  Concerns that data would be misused or errors in the data would negatively impact a person’s life without his or her knowledge of the data being kept about them

 Computer (cont.) ◦ Govt. developed Code of Fair Information Practice  Straight forward code; no secret data banks, individuals must be able to view their records, must have a way to correct errors, and data banks must be reliable and secure  The Internet ◦ All activity on the Internet is mediated  Companies could use information stored for financial gain  Federal Trade Commission prevents businesses from using or selling your information by writing “privacy policies”

 Life after 9/11 ◦ Raised the question: Privacy or Security? ◦ Total (Terrorist) Information Awareness  Used advances in technology to attempt to catch terrorists before they attack  Congress shut down organization because it treated everyone as a suspect  Facebook ◦ When using Facebook applications, the user is asked to “Allow access?”  How much information is being pulled by the app?  By agreeing, you are saying you trust the app and Facebook’s security and privacy controls

 Where We Are Now ◦ Data theft by insiders can be solved  Paying employees enough  Auditing their work  Limiting authority  Harshly punishing those who abuse employer’s trust ◦ Answering the question of Security or Privacy  The problem isn’t that the information is out there, it’s that it isn’t secure  Spending now on better security in systems will prevent having to spend a lot more when faulty security is breached

 The Constitution explicitly states your right to privacy. True or False? False Which of these is NOT a way to prevent data theft by insiders? A: Having employees keep data on personal storage devices B: Auditing employee work C: Paying them enough D: Limiting the authority of any one employee Answer: A

 Half of triggered names in 04 and 05 were misidentified (10 of thousands in total)  Cat Stevens Story  Security Issues

 Roughly how many pieces of data does TIDE currently store? ◦ A. 100,000 ◦ B. 435,000 ◦ C. 755,000 ◦ D. 2.3 Million  A quarter of the triggered watch list names were misidentified.

“People often claim that one of every three large-scale software systems gets canceled mid-project. Of those that do make it out the door, three-quarters are never implemented: some do not work as intended; others are just shelved.” By Stephanie Moore

 Spring of 2007, Russia  Estonian monument was moved by the Red Army from capital city to the outskirt of town  Bogus Requests-Requests for information from computers around the world  Banks, Media Outlets, and Ministries were hacked  Most publicized hack in recent history

 Most active for hacking computers  Washington accused China of hacking into government computer networks  June 2007-Hacked into Pentagon Network  Suspected of hacking in Britain, France, Germany, South Korea, and Taiwan  Russian and China both denied the accusations.

 William Arkin, Defense Analyst ◦ “Our abilities to penetrate into enemy computer networks, our ability to exploit communication networks, to manipulate digital information, is real.”  U.S. has technologies capable of penetrating and jamming enemy networks

 Request information while masking the location of primary attacker  Use of malware, spyware, and other programs to steal information without user’s knowledge  Cyber attacks aimed at critical infrastructure- less common, but more serious and damaging ◦ Nuclear Power Plant Control Systems ◦ Banks and Subways

 Until recently, U.S. government did not emphasize on safety from cyber attacks  Difficulty in finding the cyber threat  This is getting more serious and more time demanding  U.S. is a big target  Cyber attacks on the U.S. economy may be the worst case  U.S. claimed that their systems are secure and safe

 What country is mostly blame for cyber attacks?  TRUE or FALSE: U.S. have technologies capable of penetrating and jamming enemy networks?

Full spectrum dominance Air Force stated goal: gain control and access to any and all networked computers Contractor bids: “dominant cyber offensive engagement” Headquarters throughout United States Surveys and propaganda

 Uncertain technical benefits  Inflated prices  SPADOC (ugly baby)-updated computer system  Air Force Mission Support System- Pilots planning missions with latest technology  Out dated and Basic Disaster

 Total Dominance isn’t realistic  Too Expensive  Day late and Billion Dollars short

 The goal of the Air Force is to gain control and access to any and all networked computers. T or F?  True  Air Force computer systems are relatively inexpensive and cost-efficient. T or F?  False
