The source of this money is the European Commission's Net Futures directorate which was established to pioneer and coordinate research, innovation, and policy initiatives on what lies beyond the current Internet architecture, software and services. In its own words: it is now "updating its vision for the area, identifying key technological challenges and research priorities, and establishing a research and innovation agenda for the coming years". But it doesn't mention the whole surveillance crisis which seems like something that should be the number one priority. The fact that they put up an open consultation is the opportunity to change that lack of awareness. Any input can have a noticeable impact, because (as astounding as it is) for that huge budget only a few dozen responses are expected. Any response pointing to the need to invest in fixing the broken parts of the internet and its accumulated technical debt first, therefore makes a *real* difference. I've written up some background at the NLnet foundation website: https://nlnet.nl/people/leenaars/ec The deadline is April 10th, which is insanely fast. But then again, responses need not be too long - a few lines will do as long as the submission flags somewhere that there can be only one real priority, which is to harden the internet and repair the fundamental design issues of the core of the internet in the post-Snowden era. Thanks for your help, and have a great weekend!

I don't think any of these are "success stories", especially WebCrypto (theoretically useless) and the CFRG (only success was in wasting 2 years of my life). $750 million to stop people writing in C would have a much bigger impact. A fraction of that to build distributed systems where all actions are tied to user identities, instead of the current mishmash of technologies on the web which opens the door to all sorts of attacks, would have a big impact. There are fundamental architectural issues with Internet and Web security that cannot be fixed, only patched around. > > cheers, > harry > > > > > On 04/08/2016 10:18 AM, Michiel Leenaars wrote: > > Hi all, > > I just wanted to flag this very interesting opportunity to decide on the > fate of 750 million euro to be spent on the 'future of the internet', > which might be interested to the folks in perpass because this is such a > hard topic to get funding for.

I've spoken to the EC as well, in fact I was one of the ten invited experts attending the closed workshop they organised some weeks ago. Within the EC there does not seem to be much awareness let alone a sense of great urgency in the way that the internet technical community and in particular the people on this list feel it. None of their plans mention surveillance, or Edward Snowden, or even the words security and privacy. And that is the reason why I'm informing people about this consultation and the opportunity to get across how necessary a large investment is. Without simple and unambiguous input from many people that we need to free as much of this budget as possible to revisit every nook and cranny of the design of the internet, the money will evaporate. It is the bigger picture that is missing, and I agree with Watson that we should not be happy with the breadcrumbs and the small wins - this 750 million euro is exactly what is needed to address things properly. At the standards side, at the open source side and at the practical deployment side. Of course the NSA and its many counterparts have much much bigger budgets, but if the EC money is used to empower the right ideas from the community we have a fighting chance. We don't need to settle or even debate the technical course at this moment, it is important now to get enough money allocated to solving the problems of the real internet instead of surfing the hype curve with huge projects that fail horribly. And step two is turning around the processes at the EC, and making them compatible with the way the internet operates - smaller, more agile, bottom up. These budgets have been around for a long time, but I cannot name a single real success story despite billions and billions put in - and to a large degree that is the fault of working with a few very large consortia that suffer from inbreeding. To summarize: I don't think we should settle for 'patches' here and there, we deserve a thoughtful and thorough sanitisation of the whole architecture of the internet and of the web (issues like Rowhammer.js to me are the beginning of the end of the Javascript era). Anyway: hope many of you will respond. The questionnaire is here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/nextgen-internet And I suggest to keep it simple - the more obscure and technical your comments, the less likely it is to be included in the outcome. Simple wording (the internet is broken, please fix it) might be the most strategic option, although looking at the length of this mail alone I'm afraid that it is very tempting to violate this principle.

Motivation and Scope

-------------

The fields of embedded computing, wireless communication, data mining and artificial intelligence are exhibiting impressive improvements. Their combination fosters the emergence of "smart environments": Systems made of networked physical objects embedded in public places and private spheres of everyday individuals. This trend is supporting the rise of a broad variety of data-driven services that are highly customized to various aspect of our life, and hold great social and economic potential. Examples include wearable computing systems and applications for monitoring of personal health and physical/social activities; Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) relying on cars that are becoming increasingly aware of their environment and drivers; and home automation systems that even support face and emotion recognition applications and provide Web access to entirely novel types of content. Such disruptive technologies are expected to increasingly rely on sophisticated machine learning and statistical inference techniques to obtain a much clearer semantic understanding of people’ states, activities, environments, contexts and goals. However, these developments also raise new technical, social, ethical and legal privacy challenges which, if left unaddressed, will jeopardize the wider deployment and thus undermine potential social and economic benefits of the aforementioned emerging technologies. Indeed, algorithms increasingly used for complex information processing in today's hyper-connected society are rarely designed with privacy and data protection in mind. On the other hand, privacy researchers are increasingly interested in leveraging machine learning and inference models when designing both attacks and innovative privacy-enhancing tools. Aiming to foster an exchange of ideas and an interdisciplinary discussion on both theoretical and practical issues that applying inference models to jeopardize/enhance data protection and privacy may entail, this workshop provides researchers and practitioners with a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of privacy and inference. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

·         Adversarial learning and emerging privacy threats

·         Anonymous communication

·         Discrimination-aware Learning

·         Privacy-preserving deep learning models

·         Deep learning models for privacy

·         Privacy-preserving clustering, ranking, regression, etc.

·         Privacy and anonymity metrics

·         Statistical disclosure control

·         Differential privacy and relaxations

·         Machine learning and statistical inference on encrypted data

·         Machine learning and statistical inference for cybersecurity (e.g., for malware and misbehaviour detection, analysis, prevention)

·         Social graph matching and de-anonymization techniques

·         Private information retrieval

·         Algorithms and accountability

·         Case studies and experimental datasets

·         Legal, regulatory, and ethical issues

·         …

 

Important Dates

Submission

-------------

The workshop seeks to bring together experts and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss open research problems, case studies, and legal and policy issues related to inference and privacy. Authors are invited to submit either:

·         Full research papers that present relatively mature research results on topics related to data analysis /statistical inference and privacy/data protection;

·         Short papers that discuss new attacks and inspiring visions for countermeasures, or present interdisciplinary research related to case studies and legal and policy issues; or

·         Industry papers that share practical experiences.

Papers must be written in English. Authors are required to follow LNCS guidelines. The length of the full paper (in the proceedings format) must not exceed 20 pages, including the bibliography and well-marked appendices. Short papers and industry papers must not exceed 9 pages. PC members are not required to read the appendices, and so the paper should be intelligible without them.

Papers are to be submitted electronically and in pdf format only using the EasyChair conference management system (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=infer2016).

It is planned to publish revised selected papers as a post-proceedings volume in Springer Verlag’s LNCS series (final approval pending).
