Smartphones, Cryptography and the Self-Incrimination

Guest lecture of Stephen Wicker | Cornell University on 8 April 2016, 3 pm at FH Salzburg, Campus Urstein.

Information Technology & System Management and Josef Ressel Center for User-Centric Smart Grid Privacy, Security & Control cordially invite you to the guest lectures of Stephen Wicker | Cornell University

The recent confrontation between the FBI and Apple highlights both the importance of smartphones in modern life and the power of publicly-available cryptography. In this talk we will explore this controversy, and then consider the more general issues of the public use of cryptography and one’s right to keep one’s personal data to one’s self. Along the way we will treat the specific questions of whether forced decryption is self-incrimination, and the technical and legal status of smartphones as the personal papers of the 21st century.

Date: 8 April 2016 | 3 pm
Location: FH Salzburg, Campus Urstein
