Abstract for Seminar
We will examine two key issues for future cyber security: (a) what do current technological trends mean for future cyber security, and (b) what effect do conflicts between security/privacy requirements and economic and technological pressures have on the future prospects for a more secure Internet. We look at the effects on security and privacy of four key emerging technology trends, namely: ubiquitous/ambient computing; clouds/proxies/Grids; growing system and component complexity; and integrated peripherals. We go on to consider a range of ways in which economic and technological pressures are making it ever more difficult to provide effective security and privacy. We conclude by considering whether there is any light at the end of the tunnel!
