Australia backs UN telco treaty changes

Australia backs UN telco treaty changes http://www.itnews.com.au/News/304210,australia-backs-un-telco-treaty-change… James Hutchinson on Jun 8, 2012 1:38 PM (1 day 13 hours ago)Filed under Telco/ISPGlobal governments consider internet regulation. The Federal Government has issued public support for a contentious plan to revise the international treaty underpinning global telecommunications regulation. The International Telecommunications Regulations (ITR) treaty, governed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and last revised in 1988, will introduce provisions specific to potential regulation of the internet for the first time in a revision expected to be voted on in December this year. The revisions would require global governments acceding to the treaty to undertake the proposals. Though no documents relating to the proposals have been officially released by the ITU, claims of closed-door negotiations between countries on the revised treaty have led to a concerted effort by the US chapter of the Internet Society, along with founder and ordained "father of the internet" Vint Cerf, to rally against the treaty. They claimed the revised treaty would allow the United Nations, which oversees the ITU, and individual governments to more carefully regulate the internet. A spokesman for the Department of Broadband told iTnews this week that the Federal Government "supports updating the [regulations]". "In doing so, the Government aims to ensure that the revisions do not undermine the useful purpose the ITRs have had since their adoption," they said. The composition of Australia's delegation to the conference – to be held in Dubai in December – is yet to be determined. However, it is believed any local delegation is likely to be led by key Department of Broadband personnel. Internet control? Concerns around the treaty have grown in recent months, particularly as the ITU working group charged with drafting the proposed regulations prepares to finalise a revised treaty in Geneva at the end of the month. But ITU secretary-general, Dr Hamadoun Touré, blasted claims over attempts to control internet governance as "frankly ridiculous" in a speech to agency staff this week. "We are not going to send in the blue helmets of the UN peacekeepers to police IxPs! And we are certainly not ready to make a grab for global domination," he said. "I always compare this to roads, and cars and trucks. It is not because you own the roads that you own the traffic. And you may not be able to make the traffic flow smoothly. You need to know the height, and weight and breadth and be involved in designing some of the features so the bridges don't collapse ... we need to find a way to have a meaningful debate about this, without one taking over the other. "So the real issue on the table here is not at all about who 'runs' the Internet ... the issue instead is on how best to cooperate to ensure the free flow of information, the continued development of broadband, continued investment, and continuing innovation." Documents leaked from the working group ( pdf) claimed the new regulations would aim to support a "new IP interconnection ecosystem", including measures dictating global governments to closely negotiate terms on facilities and quality of service mechanisms. Key provisions are also being negotiated between countries on revisions to portions of the treaty that dictate financial settlement on termination of internet traffic between countries, a measure APNIC chief scientist Geoff Huston said was "unenforceable" if based on existing telecommunications provisions. Political drive Touré said the ITU was not a "politically oriented organisation" and that a decision to re-negotiate terms was driven by its membership, rather than the secretariat. However, sources close to stakeholders claimed the renegotiations were highly politically charged and focused around a desire by some – particularly those in Asia and some in Europe – to wrest control over internet systems away from the US and minimise the potential effect US-based legislation such as SOPA and PIPA could have on worldwide networks. Though the ITU has continued to enshrine access to the internet as a basic human right, some have claimed the revised treaty could lead to the restructuring of ICANN – the global domain name registration body – away from US control, and cement government-level regulation and control over the internet. Specifically, leaked documents show countries debating over a treaty proposal that would allow member states to "suspend the international telecommunication service" in that country at their will, provided it notifies other members. Cerf, chief internet evangelist at Google, said a successful renegotiation of the treaty would create "significant barriers to civil society participation", allowing governments to more easily regulate access to the internet at a country level. "Such proposals raise the prospect of policies that enable government controls but greatly diminish the 'permissionless innovation' that underlies extraordinary Internet-based economic growth to say nothing of trampling human rights," he said. In Australia, some have suggested the treaty could more easily allow the Federal Government to implement data retention and internet filtering mechanisms. Net fundamentals Major equipment vendors are also thought to oppose the treaty but none besides Google, through Cerf, have come out against it. A source told iTnews that organisations opposed the treaty "on the basis that they'll leave things in or allow governments to do things that will threaten the fundamental, underlying design of the internet". APNIC's Huston argued that the treaty would not necessarily change plans for greater regulation that weren't already planned by governments, but warned the polarity of the debate surrounding the treaty could lead to future issues for interconnection between countries."Almost everything we do, we never quite get it right all over the world; we always seem to stuff it up," Huston said. "Weirdly, almost by accident, the internet got it right – one technology across the world, coherent. The concern that I have is that we have just a disparity of opinion when the ITRs come up that we end fragmenting ourselves ... we end up with less than one internet; we end up with many private networks, national networks and we're back to a far worse world. "It's not that the ITRs will destroy the internet in terms of regulatory impost ... [the US] aren't going to sign anything too repressive, [but] on the other hand other governments might want a different world. If that's the case, the world's networks will break apart."

Cybercrime 'much bigger than al Qaeda' - US DHS
by Matunda Nyanchama 11 Jun '12

Cybercrime 'much bigger than al Qaeda' Does that mean that we are at war with cyberterrorists? 6/8/2012 3:16:00 PM by Antone Gonsalves It is unlikely that Americans will ever again see commercial jets crashing into skyscrapers, piloted by terrorists. ButDepartment of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano believes that malicious computer code generated by groups like al Qaeda are just as big a threat to the security and stability of the nation. Does that mean that we are at war with cyberterrorists? Napolitano doesn't go that far -- she uses the term "cybercrime," as do a number of cybersecurity experts. Still, the damage worldwide is headed toward a half-trillion dollars a year. Napolitano, in a speech May 30 to business leaders and government officials, said that besides "al Qaeda and al Qaeda-related groups," cybercrime is, "the greatest threat and actual activity that we have seen aimed at the west and at the United States. Unfortunately, it is a growth arena." "Our cybersecurity as a country is inextricably linked to our economic capability," she said. "The systems we use are interdependent, interconnected and critical to daily life in the United States. Communication, travel, powering our homes, running our banking systems -- these are all interconnected systems." Napolitano cited a study by Symantec's Norton that estimated the cost of cybercrime worldwide at $388 billion -- more than the global market for heroin, cocaine and marijuana combined, and said, "I think those are conservative numbers, based on the things that come into DHS." But the U.S. is not just on the defensive. Napolitano's speech came just two days before The New York Times, citing anonymous sources in the Obama administration, reported that the president had secretly ordered the use of the Stuxnet worm to attack the computers that run Iran's main nuclear enrichment facilities. The Times reported that this was in collaboration with Israel, and was the continuation of a program code-named Olympic Games, started under President George W. Bush. The attack is estimated to have set back the Iranian nuclear program by as much as two years. Attacking another nation-state's potential military capability may sound like an act of war to some. Joel Harding, a former military intelligence officer and now a communication and public diplomacy information operations expert and consultant, wrote in a blog post shortly after The Times' story, "It's official. The United States of America was the first to use an atomic bomb against an enemy and now the United States is the first to have acknowledged using a cyber weapon against another country. We are now certified bad guys to the rest of the world." "To whoever leaked the information from the Obama administration, for whatever purpose, you have now doomed the United States to a terrible legacy forever," he wrote. David Jeffers, writing for PCWorld, called malware such as Flame "the Internet equivalent of biological warfare." But Harding told CSO he does not think this means the U.S. has started a cyberwar. "There will never be a pure cyberwar in my opinion," he said. "There will be operations in cyberspace but they will always be in support of other actions. By itself warfare in cyberspace cannot conquer an enemy. The effects will normally be temporary and probably not physical in nature." Still, he said the admission taints the U.S. in the eyes of the rest of the world. "It is a challenge to maintain a high moral position if we are the first to acknowledge the use of such a weapon," he said. Other security experts also say that "war" is the wrong term. Bruce Schneier, chief security technology officer at BT and an author, said that "throughout history, the definition of a 'major war' has involved casualties in the hundreds of thousands. That means dead people." Marc Zwillinger, of the Washington, D.C. law firm ZwillGen and a specialist in cyber conflict calls them "cyberattacks," and said he doubts the U.S. was the first nation to use them. "Our government, government contractors, and ISPs have been pummeled for years," he said. Whatever the semantics, there is unanimous agreement that the attacks are doing enormous damage. "Cybercrime is a really big deal," Schneier said. "Much bigger than al Qaeda, which has basically been a fairy scare story since 9/11." Zwillinger said: "It's something to take very seriously. It's not that hard to undermine our economy and cause lasting effects. How long was the Facebook trading glitch that is being blamed for a lot of uncertainty and panic in the trading of one stock?" "United States corporations lose billions of dollars in research to cybercrime and espionage every year," Harding said. "Now imagine these efforts [aimed at] national security products. Not only do we lose intellectual property and de facto our investment dollars, but we may have a national security problem." Another problem with cyberweapons, as a number of articles have pointed out since the discovery of the Flame virus in the Middle East (an espionage tool mainly targeting Iran) and the revelations about Stuxnet, is that they can boomerang, unlike bullets or bombs. Richard Lardner reports for The Associated Press that "a cyberweapon that spreads across the Internet may circle back accidentally to infect computers it was never supposed to target. It's one of the unusual challenges facing the programmers who build such weapons, and presidents who must decide when to launch them." [See also: U.S. companies, government not likely burned by Flame] Finally, whether it is cybercrime, cyberattacks or cyberwar, the U.S. seems woefully unprepared for it at some levels. The Washington Post's Robert O'Harrow wrote earlier this week of stunning vulnerabilities U.S. infrastructure. He profiled programmer John Matherly, now 28, who as a teen developed a search engine he called Shodan, and by 2009 discovered "an astonishing fact: Uncounted numbers of industrial control computers, the systems that automate such things as water plants and power grids, were linked in, and in some cases they were wide open to exploitation by even moderately talented hackers." "Over the past two years, Shodan has gathered data on nearly 100 million devices, recording their exact locations and the software systems that run them. 'Expose online devices,' the Web site says. 'Webcams. Routers. Power Plants. iPhones. Wind Turbines. Refrigerators. VoIP Phones,'" O'Harrow wrote. The story also told of a 22-year-old hacker from somewhere overseas who was able to hack a Siemens S7 controller and gain control of a water plant serving 16,000 people in South Houston. Harding said he doesn't know the status of most critical infrastructure. But he said he's "certain that many, if not most are not fully updated, do not have adequate monitoring or protections, have inadequate contingency plans and are unnecessarily exposed to the Internet, and are therefore vulnerable." "It is too expensive to unhook completely from the Internet, but that decision must be accompanied by diligent efforts to mitigate any vulnerabilities," he said. Zwillinger said, however, that most nation-states will likely limit their attacks because they still fear the military might of the U.S. "While our critical infrastructure is vulnerable, would-be attackers are hesitant to launch a full scale attack knowing that the U.S. would respond, 'using all instruments of national power,'" Zwillnger said, citing a line from Securing Cyberspace for the 44th Presidency, a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, CISSP; mnyanchama(a)aganoconsulting.com Agano Consulting Inc.; www.aganoconsulting.com; Twitter: nmatunda; Skype: okiambe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be prepared for ICT security failures & know how to respond when they happen!

University of Toronto’s Canada Centre and Citizen Lab Announce the Cyber Stewards Program
by Grace Githaiga 08 Jun '12

08 Jun '12

University of Toronto’s Canada Centre and Citizen Lab Announce the Cyber Stewards Program The Canada Centre for Global Security Studies (Canada Centre) and the Citizen Lab at the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto (with the support of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC)) are pleased to announce the launch of the Cyber Stewards program. The Cyber Stewards program is designed to address the urgent need to support South-based cyber security scholars, advocates, and practitioners to articulate a vision of cyber security in which rights and openness are protected on the basis of shared research and empirical knowledge. Cyber Stewards will be selected from across the global South. They will work locally while networking globally through the auspices of the Canada Centre and Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto. Cyber Stewards will define their own scope of work and activities based on their local context and pressing concerns. The expectation will be that Cyber Stewards will map, analyze, and ultimately impact the cyber security priorities of their own countries and regions on the basis of shared knowledge and practices. “We are excited about this opportunity, and the prospects that the Cyber Stewards network can accomplish,” says Ron Deibert, Director of the Canada Centre and Citizen Lab. “Working together, we envision the Cyber Stewards will help contribute to a growing global movement of citizens, scholars and practitioners - a community of practice - whose aim is to protect cyberspace as a secure but open commons of information in which human rights are respected.” Detailed Overview As cyberspace expands and deepens in the global South, there are growing concerns around how cyberspace will be governed and constituted. The security of cyberspace is now an urgent concern. A cyber arms race among governments and non-state actors has begun in earnest. Facing a growing number of threats, from cyber crime to espionage and warfare, governments are developing ambitious cyber security strategies, some of which include far-reaching and potentially ominous censorship, surveillance, and information operation components. Unless proper checks and balances are instituted locally, there will continue to be strong pressures to build “surveillance-by design” into newly built infrastructure -- particularly the newly emerging mobile and social media ecosystems. These troubling trends of information control and securitization portend the gradual disintegration of an open and secure commons of information on a global scale. It is essential that the process of cyber securitization taking place in the South includes local voices who can articulate a vision of cyber security in which rights and openness are protected on the basis of shared research and empirical knowledge. The aim of the Cyber Stewards project is to help support and develop those local voices. Why “Steward”? Stewardship is typically defined as an ethic of responsible behaviour in a situation of shared resources, typically with respect to the natural environment and the commons, such as the oceans and outer space. Although cyberspace is more of a mixed pooled resource that cuts across public and private sector than a commons per se, the concept of stewardship still carries considerable merit: it implies behaviour that goes beyond self-interest to accomplish something in the service of a wider public good. It emphasizes the need for balance and the appreciation of the complexity of the system. It carries with it a connotation of custodianship and citizen-based monitoring, all of which mesh with the aims of the network we are setting out to build. Why should South-based scholars and practitioners link up with a North-based institution, like the University of Toronto? Moving forward, it is imperative that stewards of cyberspace include representation from all stakeholders in the global communications environment, and that bridges are built between communities across North, South, East and West. Although the challenges of each locality are unique, together we live in a shared communications space that is becoming increasingly dense and interconnected. We have a shared responsibility to sustain that space in a manner that supports everyone’s rights, while keeping it secure. Networking South-based Cyber Stewards with the University of Toronto’s Canada Centre and Citizen Lab’s already existing network of collaborative partnerships will help accomplish that goal and hopefully build a broad community of global Cyber Stewards that empowers us all collectively. Who will make up the Cyber Stewards program and how will it operate? There will be a diversity in research topics and methods, as well as regional and disciplinary backgrounds, in the constitution of Cyber Stewards. We anticipate that the group will form a network of peers, in which the Cyber Stewards regularly interact with each other, engage in knowledge sharing and joint research and development, and mutual mentorship. Cyber Stewards will interact virtually as well as through occasional joint workshops and major conferences, facilitated by the Canada Centre and Citizen Lab. Interested parties from any of the following regions should send a CV and a five page outline that details project ideas to cyberstewards(a)citizenlab.org (Central America, Caribbean, South America, sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa, and Asia). About the Canada Centre for Global Security Studies The Canada Centre for Global Security Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs is a centre of interdisciplinary research, policy development, and other activities in emerging security issues that are critical to Canada's future. Established in spring 2010 with a grant from the Government of Canada, the Canada Centre's areas of interdisciplinary study include cyber security, global health, food security, and region-specific concerns, such as the future of the Arctic, post-Soviet Europe, the new Asian powers, and the changing face of the Americas. About the Citizen Lab The Citizen Lab is an interdisciplinary laboratory based at the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto, Canada focusing on advanced research and development at the intersection of digital media, global security, and human rights. We are a “hothouse” that combines the disciplines of political science, sociology, law, computer science, engineering, and graphic design. Our mission is to undertake advanced research and engage in development that monitors, analyses, and impacts the exercise of political power in cyberspace. We undertake this mission through collaborative partnerships with leading edge research centers, organizations, and individuals around the world, and through a unique “mixed methods” approach that combines technical analysis with intensive field research, qualitative social science, and legal and policy analysis methods undertaken by subject matter experts. The Citizen Lab’s ongoing research network includes the OpenNet Initiative, OpenNet Eurasia, and Opennet.Asia as well as the Cyber Security Stewards network. The Citizen Lab was a founding partner of the Information Warfare Monitor (2002-2012). The Citizen Lab developed the original design of the Psiphon censorship circumvention software, which spun out of the lab into a private Canadian corporation (Psiphon Inc.) in 2008.

Dear All This a good move to have the Kenya IGF in July. This will prepare us for the African IGF and the International Conference later in the year. Some topics that come to my mind are 1. Promoting internet access in terms of infrastructure and cost. At the same time the cost of ipads,tablets,smart phones and other devices that are needed by the end user. I am working with a program that is promoting access to education by youth in slums and marginalized communities and these are major challenges. 2. ICT and development 3.
