SUMMARY:Managing Privacy Trade-Offs in the Internet - David Naylor (Carneg

DESCRIPTION:Using a communication network entails an inherent privacy risk
 : when personal data enters the network\, it is processed and observed by 
 third parties the user may not trust. In some cases\, the user may not eve
 n trust the other endpoint. Techniques exist to protect user privacy\, but
  they typically provide privacy at the expense of other desirable properti
 es. For example\, onion routing services like Tor effectively hide a packe
 t's true sender but weakens accountability by making it nearly impossible 
 for network administrators to track down malicious senders. Similarly\, en
 cryption hides application data from third parties but prevents the use of
  middleboxes-devices that process packets in the network to improve perfor
 mance\, like caches\, or offer extra functionality\, like firewalls. In th
 is talk\, I’ll present past and ongoing work to balance these “Privacy
  vs. X” tradeoffs.\n\nBio: David is a fifth year Ph.D. student at Carneg
 ie Mellon University\, where he's advised by Peter Steenkiste. His primary
  research interests are computer networking\, security\, and privacy\, but
  he’s also interested in Web measurement and performance (http://isthewe
 bhttp2yet.com and https://eyeorg.net). David is in Cambridge this summer w
 orking with MSR to secure network middleboxes. (If you know any good runni
 ng routes in Cambridge\, let him know.) http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dnaylor
