[Chapter-delegates] VIDEO: Snowden, the NSA, and Free Software – Bruce Schneier and Eben Moglen

[Joly MacFie]

I briefly talked with Bruce after this event, and suggested that it was
much better than the recent DC one. He heartily agreed. His essential theme
is that while ultimately there is no real defense to targeted surveillance,
but plenty that can be done to make bulk surveillance both impractical and
uneconomic. As well as crypto protocols, software etc he emphasized the
need to develop open hardware standards so that one can trust one's kit.

 I am still waiting for the Internet Archive to derive the ogv version, but
it will come. The YouTube video has  "enhanced privacy" toggled on, thus no
cookie. I do expect the SFLC to come up with a transcript, later in the
week.

  After Glenn Greenwald first received his stash of secret documents from
Edward Snowden, one of the first people he consulted was security expert,
cryptographer, and writer Bruce Schneier <https://www.schneier.com/>, who
helped him review and digest the documents. A few weeks back we saw Bruce
give a briefing <http://isoc-ny.org/p2/6138> on Capitol Hill in Washington
DC, where he advised lawmakers to rein in the NSA, and the Internet
community to pro-actively design countermeasures. On December 12 2013, as a
follow up to his Snowden and the Future
<http://snowdenandthefuture.info/>talk series Eben Moglen hosted A
conversation with Bruce
Schneier<http://www.softwarefreedom.org/events/2013/a_conversation_with_bruce_schneier/>at
Columbia Law School. They talked about what we can learn from the
Snowden documents, the NSA's efforts to weaken global cryptography, and how
we can keep free software tools from being subverted. The talk was webcast
live via the Internet Society Chapters Webcast Channel, and video is below.
Hopefully a transcript will be available soon.
