Of Data Security, Terrorism, National Security and Marketing

Listers An interesting email from Fortune Magazine, Data Sheet. This is Jonathan Vanian, filling in for Robert Hackett while he is off. The battle between the public and private sector over encryption technology kicked into warp speed this week. On Tuesday, a federal judge in Riverside, California ordered Apple to build a custom version of its iOS operating system that can be installed into the iPhone of one of the shooters responsible for the December rampage killings in San Bernardino. Because the data inside the shooter’s iPhone is encrypted, the FBI can’t simply retrieve the information it wants from the device’s memory chips. Instead, it needs the device to be unlocked with the appropriate PIN number. However, Apple’s tough iPhone security measures make the process of guessing the phone’s PIN number a risky business. If the FBI enters the wrong PIN number too many times, the phone will permanently delete the stored data. A special version of the iPhone operating system that would either bypass or remove that data-deletion feature would presumably make it easier for the FBI to crack the PIN number without fearing a total data wipeout. Apple CEO Tim Cook was displeased with the court order and wrote a letter to customers in which he said the custom operating system is “too dangerous to create” because it circumvents the company’s security features. Cook claims that the government is asking Apple to weaken the measures it takes to encrypt its data. To create the custom software would set a bad precedent that “would hurt only the well-meaning and law-abiding citizens who rely on companies like Apple to protect their data.” That’s balderdash, the Department of Justice responded in the form of a court motion. The DOJ claimed that it won’t “require Apple to create or provide a ‘back door’ to every iPhone.” Apple’s public stance on the issue is only a “public brand marketing strategy.” Now, representatives of the House Energy and Commerce Committee have invitedCook and FBI Director James Comey to appear at a yet-to-be-scheduled hearing to discuss encryption, a topic that will almost certainly be debated during the upcoming presidential elections. Additionally, the House Judiciary Committee reportedly asked Apple officials to testify at a similar hearing on March 1. This chain of events presents a perfect storm to bring the topic of encryption to the public stage. You have the world’s most valuable company, the U.S.’s leading criminal investigation and enforcement agency, and the controversial issues of terrorism, national security, and data privacy all intermingling. Over the past few years, the topic of whether companies should ease up on encryption seemed to be of interest to only those deeply involved in the issue. Occasionally, there would be a mainstream news report on the issue. But generally speaking, the topic seemed to be of concern primarily to insiders or security conference attendees. This time, considering the powerful players involved and its relation to a terrorist attack, the topic of encryption might stick around in the public forum.

Peace and Security Fellowship for Women
by Ebele Okobi 20 Feb '16

20 Feb '16

In case of interest- http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/sga/alc/Fellowships/Non-Degree-Awarding-Fellowshi… Peace and Security Fellowships for African Women The Peace and Security Fellowships for African Women bring together African women at the early stages of their career to undertake a carefully designed training programme in Leadership, Development and Security at the African Leadership Centre (ALC), King’s College London. The Fellowship programme is designed to expose young professional African women to the complexities of conflict, security and development and equip them for careers in this field. The programme is conceived against a number of background factors. First is the comparatively low level of women involved in peace and security issues especially as compared with those involved in human rights and development issues. Second is the need to assist African women to meet the demands of the Beijing process and more recently the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 that calls for the inclusion of women at all decision making levels in “all national regional and international institutions and mechanisms for the prevention, management and resolution of conflicts”. This Fellowship programme is aimed at challenging the existing tendency that seems to reinforce the male dominant discourse on conflict and security related matters. It will also develop a network of African women scholars working in the field whilst linking them with the peace, security and development mechanisms of African regional institutions. They are funded by the Open Society Institute and the African Women’s Development Fund. The Fellowships comprise of two six-month phases. During the first six-month phase at the ALC in Nairobi and King’s College London, the Fellows undertake full-time study of MA-level courses in leadership, security and development that are jointly developed by the ALC and King’s College London. The Fellows also have mentoring sessions on leadership, development and peace and security, delivered by a global network of renowned experts on these issues. They will study and visit various global institutions working in the field of peace and security. This phase will end with a simulation seminar during which a mock conflict management situation will be practiced. The second phase will be an attachment of Fellows to an African regional organisation, research institution or centre of excellence to undertake practical work in the field of leadership, peace and security including peace and conflict management processes. The Peace and Security Fellowship for African Women 2016-2017 is now open.

I have got a feeling that it looks like CIPESA members are either busy lining up at voting centers or worse still unable to view and/or respond to their mail at this time. However, access to FB seems to have been restored now in Kampala, though it is said to be slow. Only one telecom (VODAFON) is said not to have been having trouble serving social media pages though it was reportedly very slow too.... 3hrs ago Journalist Rosebell Kagumire wrote on FB: Rosebell Idaltu Kagumire <https://www.facebook.com/rosebell.kagumire?fref=nf> 3 hrs <https://www.facebook.com/rosebell.kagumire/posts/10153974685408824> · Kampala, Uganda <https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kampala-Uganda/114935148521194> · Dear Ugandans, it is clear the internet has been tampered with. We cant access Facebook and twitter in a normal way. This is a cowardly move that is leaving Ugandans with only WhatsApp and Messages. Danger is that you cant easily verify information on WhatsApp. Please share these proxies. Betternet, TunnelBear to access these sites that work well. I still hope for peace!

Someone started an online petition and so far over 8000 people have signed it! Here's the link: https://www.change.org/p/un-free-confess-because-musicians-should-not-be-ki… Check out the Rock 'n' roll film festival, Kenya TV Channel! http://kenyarockfilmfestivaljournal.blogspot.com
