Carter May Elevate CYBERCOM to a Full Combatant Command
by Alberto Cammozzo April 5, 2016

April 5, 2016

Defense Secretary Ash Carter is considering turning U.S. Cyber Command into a full combatant command, an acknowledgment that cyber warriors are today not just defending military networks but joining in combined-arms attacks on the enemy. Pentagon leaders long have said that cyber has joined land, sea, air, and space as a new warfare domain. Especially in cyberspace, Carter said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, “our reliance on technology has given us great strengths and great opportunities, but also led to vulnerabilities that adversaries are eager to exploit,” It is time, Carter said, to “consider changes to cyber’s role in DOD’s Unified Command Plan.” The military is currently organized into nine COCOMs: six geographic commands (Pacific, Europe, Africa, Middle East, etc.) and three that field specialized capabilities: special operations, nuclear (strategic) forces, and transportation. U.S. Cyber Command, or CYBERCOM, is currently a sub-unified command under U.S. Strategic Command.

giovedì a Roma evento sul superamento del modello SIAE
by Simone Aliprandi April 5, 2016

April 5, 2016

Questo giovedì sera a Roma presso l'Angelo Mai Spazio Occupato si terrà l'evento "Tutta un'altra musica. Prospettive future per il mercato del diritto d'autore in Italia dopo la Direttiva Barnier". La Direttiva Barnier è una direttiva europea in vigore dal 2014 che vuole fissare alcuni principi comuni per tutti gli stati membri dell'UE in merito alla gestione collettiva dei diritti d'autore, e dunque va ad impattare direttamente sull'assetto della SIAE. Il termine ultimo per recepire la direttiva sarebbe il 10 aprile 2016 e il legislatore italiano (salvo sorprese dell'ultimo minuto) sembra essersene bellamente infischiato, esponendo quindi l'Italia all'ennesima procedura di infrazione. In questo evento molti tra i soggetti interessati al tema si troveranno a discutere dei temi oggetto della direttiva e in generale delle nuove frontiere per la gestione del copyright nel mercato italiano ed europeo. L'ingresso è libero e gratuito e ci sarà possibilità di partecipare attivamente al dibattito portando il proprio punto di vista. L'evento sarà diviso in due parti ideali: una parte più tecnico-giuridica con giuristi ed esperti del settore (in cui compaio anch'io); e una parte più di dibattito e confronto sulle nuove prospettive del mercato culturale, con gli stakeholders e i rappresentanti delle varie community coinvolte. Maggiori informazioni: http://aliprandi.blogspot.it/2016/04/tutta-altra-musica-roma-siae.html. Un caro saluto. -- Simone Aliprandi - http://www.aliprandi.org | http://www.array.eu

Brazill bill proposals attack important aspects of the “Marco Civil da Internet”
by Alberto Cammozzo April 2, 2016

April 2, 2016

Politicians want to censor the Internet in Brazil with the excuse of fighting “cyber crime” Pay attention to what just happened: the National Congress has just released the final report of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) of Cybercrime. The report proposes the creation of 8 bills to control the Internet. These projects are bombastic: they attack fundamental rights directly, such as freedom of expression, the right to privacy and important aspects of the “Marco Civil da Internet”, precisely those that protect against Internet surveillance and censorship. Among the proposals that are set out in the final report of the CPI of Cybercrime are: a) Turning social networks censorship bodies to protect the honor of politicians. If anyone speak ill of a politician in a social network, the social network will be required to remove the content within 48 hours. If its is not removed, the company will be co-responsible for that content and will have to compensate the offended politician. In other words, social networks will become permanent agent of surveillance and censorship of its users. b) Send to jail for two years people who simply violate the “terms of use” of a site. Entered into a website or application and disregarded any provision of that huge document that everyone clicks without even having read: jail for you for two years. c) Divert 10% of the Fistel funds, which aim to improve the quality of telecommunications in Brazil to finance the police. Telecommunications that are already expensive and of low quality in Brazil will be even worse. The funds that are collected to monitor the quality of Internet access, telecommunications and other services will be diverted to fund the police. Of course, this funding is important. But for that we have already paid our taxes. There is no need to divert essential resources for this. d) Assigning responsibility to the federal police for any crime committed using a computer or mobile phone. In other words, a boy or a girl that download a music from the Internet may receive the visit of a federal police agent. Someone who writes something that is considered “defamatory” or “libelous” against a politician in social networks may have to give explanations to the Federal Police. In other words, several million Brazilians who do these activities every day can be monitored and even arrested by federal police on suspicion of having committed “crimes by computer use,” even if they are low offensive potential crimes. e) Require Internet providers to automatically reveal who is behind each IP address on the network, informing the police the name, affiliation and home address of the person without the need for prior judicial order. In other words, everyone will be presumed “guilty” in the Brazilian Internet and can be constantly monitored. If you criticized a politician on the Internet, it will be possible to know your identity and the Federal Police can be called to act against you. f) Establish outright censorship on the Internet. The bill amends the Marco Civil, which prohibits censorship, creating a new article that will “determine blocking connection providers access to Internet applications for users” to “curb services that are considered illegal.” In other words, any site can be blocked of Brazilian Internet. Remember WhatsApp blockage? This will be nothing close to what may happen. Any application, website or service may be blocked and censored directly by internet providers and Brazilians will be deprived of access it without any defense, affecting the lives of millions of people.

Powles & Chaparro: "In the wake of Apple v FBI, we need to address some uncomfortable truths"
by J.C. DE MARTIN March 31, 2016

March 31, 2016

Lettura vivamente raccomandata. juan carlos* * *----------- * *In the wake of Apple v FBI, we need to address some uncomfortable truths* /A temporary truce has emerged in the raging battle between Apple and the FBI, but technology fragility and corporate power remain unaddressed/ Julia Powles and Enrique Chaparro Tuesday 29 March 2016 21.11 BST It has been a spectacular six-week showdown – the world’s most valuable brand, Apple <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/apple>, pitted against the powerful American agents of the FBI. Two titans of spin <http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/28/fbi-surveillance-cyber…>, locked in a fast-moving battle over a dead terrorist’s smartphone. Now, as dramatically as it exploded, the FBI’s legal demand <http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/17/apple-ordered-to-hack-iphone…> that Apple help it crack the iPhone <https://medium.com/@thegrugq/feeble-noise-pollution-627acb5931a2#.fe9moeyrk> of one of the San Bernardino killers <http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2015/dec/02/san-bernardino-shooting…> has evaporated – the agents hacked their way in anyway, assisted by a mysterious third party <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/mar/28/apple-fbi-case-dropped-sa…>. There was always more to the Apple v FBI case <http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/20/apple-fbi-iphone-explaine…> than met the eye – and it is true for this latest twist too. The biggest issue is that both sides stand to gain a lot more from this battle <http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/21/opinion/sunday/in-the-government-vs-apple…> than any of us <http://concurringopinions.com/archives/2016/03/a-social-theory-of-surveilla…>. With little relation <http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/03/the-digital-security-…> to reality <http://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/attack-of-week-apple-imessa…>, and backed by a worryingly partisan chorus, the notoriously closed Apple is emerging as a champion of users’ rights. Equally worryingly, a government agency is claiming the power to keep to itself a tool that can potentially break security features on millions of phones, while earmarking a demand for further judicial or legislative intervention in the future. Whichever way you look <http://fortune.com/2016/03/29/apple-fbi-tim-cook-2/>, this feud is far from a road to freedom in the digital environment.
