Lord Anderson of Ipswich's presentation to the Human Rights Lawyers' Association on 25 Oct 2018, kindly shared with his permission.
Data science and privacy regulation
This document summarizes key points about data science and privacy regulation:
1. Regulation aims to alter behavior according to standards to achieve defined outcomes, and can involve standard-setting, information gathering, and modifying behavior.
2. With "big data", problems arise for the laissez-faire conception of privacy regulation due to market failures, insider threats, and mass surveillance capabilities.
3. Designing for privacy is important, such as data minimization, decentralization, consent requirements, and easy-to-use privacy interfaces. The "data exhaust" from ubiquitous data collection threatens privacy in Europe.
Where next for encryption regulation?
This document discusses issues around encryption regulation. It notes developments in end-to-end encryption and storage encryption. It discusses views from FBI Director James Comey and UK Prime Minister David Cameron calling for access to encrypted communications. It reviews national policies on encryption in the US, India, China and Russia. The Council of Europe and UN Special Rapporteur support strong encryption for privacy and security. Key issues are comparing political economies today versus the 1990s which led to encryption liberalization, and determining appropriate forums for decision making given interests of industry, civil society, states and others.
Where next for the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act?
This document summarizes recommendations from reports by David Anderson QC, the Intelligence and Security Committee, and RUSI on reforming and consolidating complex UK legislation governing intelligence agencies and investigatory powers. It notes calls to replace existing laws with a new comprehensive bill that clearly defines agencies' powers and capabilities while strengthening oversight and legal safeguards. The government plans to introduce a draft Investigatory Powers Bill for scrutiny later in 2015.
Regulation and the Internet of Things
This document discusses key regulatory issues related to the Internet of Things (IoT). It addresses licensing and spectrum management to ensure sufficient spectrum availability for diverse IoT applications. It also covers switching and roaming to support large IoT users and mobile devices, as well as addressing and numbering to provide a large address space for globally addressable IoT devices. Additionally, it discusses competition policies to prevent lock-in and barriers to entry. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of security and privacy regulations to significantly reduce vulnerabilities in IoT systems and ensure individual control over personal data.
Global Cyber Security Capacity Centre
The document discusses dimensions of cyber security capacity that are important for countries to address on a global level. It identifies 5 key dimensions: 1) devising cyber policy and defense, 2) encouraging responsible cyber culture, 3) building cyber skills, 4) creating effective legal frameworks, and 5) controlling risks through technology and processes. Each dimension contains 3-6 specific areas that define capabilities within that dimension. The overall message is that cyber security requires a global solution and collective effort to bring all countries to a reasonable level of capability.
Privacy post-Snowden
This document summarizes international laws and policies regarding privacy and mass surveillance in the post-Snowden era. It discusses obligations under international human rights law, calls by the UN General Assembly to review surveillance practices, and reports by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights criticizing secret interpretations of law and lack of protections for individuals. The document also reviews data privacy regulations in Europe, debates around data localization, encryption technologies, and concludes that strengthening international law and information security is needed to curb mass surveillance by powerful states.
Keeping our secrets? Shaping Internet technologies for the public good
This document discusses challenges to privacy from technological development, market failures, and authorized access. It then discusses approaches to designing for privacy, including data minimization, user consent, and privacy by design. Finally, it examines shaping technologies for the public good through defining privacy as a public good, limiting government surveillance, new privacy regulations like GDPR, and encouraging competition.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
