Election 2012: What Does It Mean for the Internet?
Gigi B. Sohn, President & CEO of Public Knowledge
The result of the 2012 election are in, and the millions of people who signed petitions, called Congressional offices and otherwise protested SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) want to know: What does it mean for the Internet? Gigi Sohn, President and CEO of the public interest organization Public Knowledge, will talk about what technology policy issues the next President and Congress will focus on over the next term. She will also discuss a number of critical technology policy cases now in the federal courts that could have a great impact on whether the Internet stays open and free. These issues include: copyright enforcement, copyright reform, broadband competition, network neutrality, data caps and the future of the first sale doctrine. She will also discuss the changing role of government in protecting Internet users.

E-Voting: Risk and Opportunity
The Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton is pleased to host “E-Voting: Risk and Opportunity,” a live streamed symposium on the state and future of voting technology. At 1:30pm (Eastern) on November 1, 2012, electronic voting experts from across the United States will discuss what to expect on Election Day, how we might build a secure, convenient, high-tech voting system of the future, and what policymakers should be doing. The current U.S. e-voting system is a patchwork of locally implemented technologies and procedures — with varying degrees of reliability, usability, and security. Different groups have advocated for improved systems, better standards, and new approaches like internet-based voting. Panelists will discuss these issues and more, with a keynote by Professor Ron Rivest, one of the pioneers of modern cryptography. You can watch the event streamed live at https://citp.princeton.edu, or view the recording after the event.

Evolution of Software Architecture at Facebook
Sanjeev Kumar*02, Facebook
Over the years, the software architecture at Facebook has been built to not only scale efficiently but also to support the different needs of a large number of new products. In this talk, I will discuss the overall software architecture and illustrate its evolution using a few case studies.
Sanjeev Kumar is an Engineering Manager at Facebook Inc. where he focuses on a variety of infrastructure projects including multi-datacenter architecture, BLOB storage (for photos and videos), fault tolerance, and power management. Prior to Facebook, Sanjeev was a Senior Staff Researcher at Intel Corp. where he investigated software, hardware, and applications for many-core architectures. Sanjeev holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University, a M.S. from Indiana University, and a B.Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai (all in Computer Science).

CITP Conference: Patent Success or Failure? The America Invents Act and Beyond
On September 16, 2011, President Obama signed the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), the most significant change to the US Patent system since the Patent Act of 1952. The result of years of efforts to revise and reform the laws governing patent practice in the US, many consider the AIA to be a success. However, the AIA is not without its critics. “Patent Success or Failure?” will bring together government officials, judges, lawyers, and academics to consider the effects of the AIA on the patent landscape.

Copyright Cat-and-Mouse: New Developments in Online Enforcement
Copyright enforcement in the digital era has been an ongoing game of cat-and-mouse. As new technologies emerge for storing and transmitting creative works, content creators struggle to identify the best response. The content industry has employed different tactics over time — including technological copy protection, litigation against infringers, and collaboration with Internet Service Providers (ISPs). In August of 2011, some members of the content industry signed an historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with some of the largest ISPs, agreeing to a “graduated response” system of policing. ISPs agreed to notify their subscribers if allegedly infringing activity was detected from their connection and, if infringement continued after multiple warnings, to impede access. Meanwhile, a wave of “copyright troll” litigation has continued to sweep the country and burden the courts. Use of takedown notices under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act has continued to evolve. This event will examine enforcement efforts to date, and debate the merits of the new private approach embodied in the MOU framework. It will feature discussions between members of the content industry, internet service providers, web companies, and academics.

An Informeation Approach to Trademarks
Deven Desai, Google, Inc.
What if trademark law applied and used information theory as a guide? Trademark law invokes information and search costs to explain its structure and normative outcomes. In this view trademarks are vessels of information, create information marketplaces, and even exhibit signal and noise characteristics. This talk applies Shannon’s view of information to analyze trademark law’s conception of information, challenge some presumptions of trademark law, and explore what trademark law can learn from an information based account of trademarks.
Deven Desai is a law professor and currently on leave. While on leave, he is serving as Academic Research Counsel at Google, Inc. As a law professor, he teaches trademark, intellectual property theory, and information privacy law. He was also a Visiting Fellow at Princeton University’s Center for Information Technology Policy. Professor Desai’s scholarship examines how business interests and economic theories shape privacy and intellectual property law and where those arguments explain productivity or where they fail to capture society’s interest in the free flow of information and development.
His articles include From Trademarks to Brands, Florida Law Review (2012) (forthcoming); The Life and Death of Copyright 2011 Wisc. Law Review 220 (2011); Brands, Competition, and the Law 2010 BYU Law Review 1425 (2010) (Spencer Waller co-author); Privacy? Property?: Reflections on the Implications of a Post-Human World 18 Kansas J. of Law & Public Policy (2009); Property, Persona, and Preservation, 81 Temple Law Review 67 (2008); and Confronting the Genericism Conundrum, 28 Cardozo Law Review 789 (2007) (Sandra L. Rierson, co-author).

Establishing New Foundations for Cyber Security
Richard Linderman, Air Force Research Laboratory
A lecture by Dr. Richard Linderman, Chief Scientist, Information Directorate, Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome, N.Y
( full biography)
The mission of the US Air Force (AF) is to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace. AF missions are integrated with and enabled by the interdependent network of information technology (IT) infrastructures, including the internet and telecommunication systems, known as cyberspace. With global cyber threat activity growing at an alarming rate, the creation of cyber-based foundational elements are required to form an agile, resilient, trusted, persistent yet affordable cyber infrastructure that can operate in the presence of threats while providing the AF assurance it requires to successfully complete its missions to defend and protect this nation.
Topics will include:
- Strategic capabilities that develop roots of trust in the cyber infrastructure. Mitigation of supply chain intervention, trust for applications, functions and missions and development of mathematically proven techniques to represent missions, applications and infrastructure for provably correct mission characterizations in contested environments.
- Creating of the next-generation AF cyber warrior. Selection, education, training, and augmentation, and visualization of cyberspace for superior performance of AF cyber warriors.
- Development of an affordable, resilient, agile, trusted architectures from a mix of government and commercial components that can avoid, fight through and recover from cyber attacks.
- Technology for assuring AF missions while cyber threats are avoided, identified, contained or defeated providing AF mission awareness, integrated full spectrum operations and Command, Control and Decision support.
