African Open Government Fellowships
by Ephraim Percy Kenyanito 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Dear all, The following fellowships might be of interest to those working on Open Government. -- Best Regards, *Ephraim Percy Kenyanito* Website: http://about.me/ekenyanito http://opengovfellows.codeforafrica.org/open-knowledge-and-code-for... <http://opengovfellows.codeforafrica.org/open-knowledge-and-code-for-africa-…> Pioneering Fellowships Will Help Rewire Africa’s Governments *(Application deadline: 15 December 2014)* Do you want to help us build African governments and societies that are more accountable and responsive to citizens? We are looking for the best ideas for harnessing the power of digital technologies and open data, to improve the way that governments and citizens interact. *Code for Africa* <http://www.codeforafrica.org/> and *Open Knowledge* <https://okfn.org/> are offering three pilot *Open Government Fellowships* to give outstanding changemakers the skills, tools and resources necessary to kickstart open government initiatives in their countries. The six-month fellowships are intended to empower pioneers who are already working in the open data or civic engagement communities, and are designed to augment their existing ‘day jobs’ rather than remove them from their organisations. Successful fellows will therefore only be expected to work part-time on their fellowship projects (which could include new initiatives at their ‘day jobs’), but will receive strategic and material support throughout their fellowship. This support will include a modest $1,000 per month stipend, a $3,000 seed fund to kickstart projects, a travel budget to attend local and international events, access to workspace in *Code for Africa* affiliate civic technology labs across the continent, and technology support from *Code for Africa* developers and data analysts. Fellows will also be able to tap into *Open Knowledge*’s School of Data <http://schoolofdata.org/> networks and resource kits, and its global network of specialist communities <https://okfn.org/get-involved/working-groups/>, as well as *Code for Africa* affiliate communities such as Hacks/Hackers <https://www.facebook.com/HacksHackersAfrica>. The deadline for applications is 15 December 2014. The fellowships are scheduled to start in February 2015 and run until July 2015. So, who qualifies for the fellowship? The initiative is a pilot, and is therefore casting the net as wide as possible. Applicants should: - Currently be engaged in the open government and/or related communities . We are looking to support individuals already actively participating in the open government community - Be able to point to examples of their work in the civic data or civic technology space, or work in open data or open government communities - Understand the role of civil society and citizen based organisations in bringing about positive change through advocacy and campaigning - Understand the role and importance of monitoring government commitments to open data as well as other open government policy related issues - Have facilitation skills and enjoy community-building (both online and offline) - Be eager to learn from and be connected with an international community of open government experts, advocates and campaigners - Currently live and work in Africa. Due to limited resources and our desire to develop a focused and impactful pilot programme, we are limiting applications to those currently living and working in Africa. We hope to expand the programme to the rest of the world in 2015. The fellowship will initially be limited to African countries where either *Code for Africa* or *Open Knowledg*e have extensive resources or deep partnerships. Applicants should therefore be based in one of the following countries: *Angola, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique,* *Mauritius**, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Senegal, Tunisia, Tanzania,* and *Uganda*. We hope to expand the initiative to include additional countries later in 2015. The selection committee will pay particular attention to applicants’ *current engagement in the open government movement* at local, national and/or international level. The committee will also be interested in applicants’ ideas around proposed strategic partnerships and pilot projects for their fellowships. Neither *Code for Africa* nor *Open Knowledge* are being prescriptive about the proposed focus or scope for projects, but will prefer projects that demonstrate clear visions with tangible outputs. This could include fellows working with a specific government department or agency to make a key dataset available. It could also include helping communities use available data, or organising a series of events addressing a specific topic or challenge citizens are currently facing. Successful candidates will commit to work on their fellowship activities a minimum of six days a month, including attending online and offline training, organising events, and being an active member both *Open Knowledge* and *Code for Africa* communities. While the pilot fellowships are limited to 16 countries initially, we are exploring ways to expand it to other regions. Get in touch if you would like to work with us to do so. *Convinced?* *Apply now to become a Open Government Fellow**. The application is available* *here* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/16keAH2ygafUN2jcIYm_k1agv6QIQCGfOJ_6oU46X1k…>*. If you are more comfortable submitting your application in French or Portuguese, you will find it in* *French here* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1YTPYIWUrnJcUUIbPs9rgDOFih09xNOw04u4YYUr6_j…> *and in* *Portuguese here* <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1r4L-90VLUIrGXyWJicix-FDZsQ0ElAZtxvegmgcD3c…>*. The deadline is 15 December 2014 and the programme will start in February 2015.* -- -- Best Regards, *Ephraim Percy Kenyanito* Website: http://about.me/ekenyanito tel: (+254)-786-191-930 / (+254)-751-804-120 @ekenyanito Skype: ekenyanito PGP: E6BA8DC1

Snowden files show NSA's AURORAGOLD pwned 70% of world's mobile networks
by S.M. Muraya 06 Dec '14

06 Dec '14

Thinking about the Safaricom Surveillance system... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/12/04/snowden_files_show_nsas_auroragold_… Snowden files show NSA's AURORAGOLD pwned 70% of world's mobile networksBrits and Yanks snoop on security standards bods By Iain Thomson <http://www.theregister.co.uk/Author/2395>, 4 Dec 2014 The NSA, and its British counterpart GCHQ, spied on innocent telco employees and standards bodies to tap into mobile phone networks worldwide, according to the latest leak from the Edward Snowden archive. The mobile tapping system, dubbed AURORAGOLD, successfully cracked 701 of an estimated 985 cellular networks worldwide, according to the leaked NSA presentation released by The Intercept <https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/12/04/nsa-auroragold-hack-cellphone…> . This was done by snooping on the private communications of key workers within the industry to capture technical documentation and encryption keys that allowed the agency access to mobile calls. Between November 2011 to April 2012, computers used by somewhere between 363 and 1,354 staff were infiltrated to get the data the NSA required. AURORAGOLD is managed by the NSA's Wireless Portfolio Management Office, and the agency appears to have cracked more advanced forms of encryption used on the networks – sometimes even before it was rolled out for commercial use. The encryption is supposed to prevent eavesdroppers from listening to private phone conversations. It was assumed intelligence agencies can break the widely used A5/1 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A5/1> algorithm; now we know GCHQ and the NSA have been working on cracking <https://firstlook.org/theintercept/document/2014/12/04/wolframite-encryptio…> the supposedly stronger A5/3 <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/01/13/gsm_crypto_crack/> used in 3G. For that, the Brits needed a £4m system to attack the cipher by 2012. Spies do spying, of course. And to do this, the NSA's Target Technology Trends Center (TTTC) works within standard bodies like the GSM Association to get advanced copies of new security protocols so that it can work out how to break them ahead of deployment. The TTTC even has a nifty little logo of a telescope on a world map and a slogan stating "Predict – Plan – Prevent." The documents <https://firstlook.org/theintercept/documents/> state GSMA members were specifically targeted <https://prod01-cdn02.cdn.firstlook.org/wp-uploads/sites/1/2014/12/working-g…> for surveillance, but doesn't state explicitly that the intelligence community has actively tried to introduce vulnerabilities into standards so that it would have easier access. "There's nothing in here that suggests that the NSA has been actively trying to subvert standards from within," said security guru Bruce Schneier. "In fact, it would be pretty difficult to do so. I suspect they are just sitting back and watching others make mistakes, and then exploiting them." The GSMA declined to comment on the latest Snowden leaks, saying that it would have to consult with its lawyer before making any statement, according to its spokeswomen Claire Cranton. "If there is something there that is illegal then they will take it up with the police," she said. Subverting standards from within is certainly within the NSA's playbook. Earlier Snowden leaks suggest <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/12/21/nsa_paid_rsa_10_million/> RSA was paid $10m to use, by default in its software, the dodgy Dual EC DRBG algorithm the agency introduced <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/07/14/nist_looks_to_nip_overdependance_on…> via the US National Institute of Standards and Technology. RSA has consistently denied claims it promoted weak security, and no longer uses Dual EC DRBG in its products. "NSA collects only those communications that it is authorized by law to collect in response to valid foreign intelligence and counterintelligence requirements - regardless of the technical means used by foreign targets, or the means by which those targets attempt to hide their communications," said the NSA in a statement. ®

South Africa's Integrated ICT policy
by Mwendwa Kivuva 03 Dec '14

03 Dec '14

South Africa is developing a holistic integrated ICT Policy framework. I had an opportunity to scan through it and I must admit it's scope is broad and admirable. It would be great if those in policy in Kenya can look at it for purposes of bench-marking with our policies. The document covers broad topics ranging from Net Neutrality, Universal Access, Cross border flow of information, Intermediary liabilities, digital terrestrial television, research development and innovation, and institutional framework. Its Interesting to note that South Africa has been disbursing Universal Service funds from way back as 1998, while in Kenya we are dilly dallying and pulling in different directions. Two key Internet governance topics which are missing in Kenya's legislative framework are discussed viz Intermediary Liabilities and Net Neutrality. The document notes that intermediaries have limited liability if they are a member of an industry representative body recognised by the Minister, they conduct their operations in an automatic manner, adhere to the industry body's code of conduct and respond to court orders and take-down notices. On Net neutrality: Stakeholders that proposed a net neutrality policy raised concerns that if the policy framework does not enforce this, broadband providers might act as gatekeepers of content and use their last mile infrastructure to block internet applications, content (websites, services, protocols) and competitors by, for example, using deep packet inspection to discriminate between over the top content, services or applications It's interesting to note that SA also discusses International Internet Governance and their role in ICANN, AFRINIC, and ITU. On Internet Governance: South Africa's BRICS partners have in the last two years repeatedly reinforced the need for governance to be brought in line with the WSIS Tuna Agenda and have called for an enhanced role for governments within ICANN. ... One of the other weaknesses in the current ICANN multi-stakeholder model is the lack of clarity regarding the definition of multi-stakeholders and the process of accepting such stakeholders in ICANN structures. Most of the exiting stakeholders are moreover largely from the developed economies, with Africa and other developing regions having little meaningful participation. Attached is the document. ______________________ Mwendwa Kivuva, Nairobi, Kenya L: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lordmwesh B: http://lord.me.ke/ T: twitter.com/lordmwesh "There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime." - Maxwell Anderson
