Safety and Security in a Networked World: Balancing Cyber-Rights and Responsibilities
Date: 8-10 September 2005 Location: Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Attendance: The registration process for this event will open in the spring. The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is organising a major conference, in collaboration with the University of Auckland, NetSafe (the New Zealand government backed Internet Safety Group), EURIM and others, to address the value choices and conflicts surrounding cybersafety in a converging world. The conference will feature leading international authorities from government, industry, NGOs and academia, including the computer sciences, humanities, law and the social sciences. It will be held between 8th and 10th September 2005 at the University of Oxford. At a time when reports of the apparent risks of the Internet receive ever more media coverage, the conference aims to encourage debate around the complex web of issues, assumptions and trade-offs that must be addressed if progress is to be made in improving online safety and security at a personal, national and international level. Accepting that there are no 'quick fixes' to be supplied by any one sector, organization or nation, the conference will seek to encourage dialogue between citizens, users, governments, law enforcement agencies, industry and education both by inviting participants from a wide variety of sectors to attend the conference, and in identifying fruitful areas for future co-operation in practice. Conference Themes The conference will address a wide range of topics around the central theme of improving online safety and security. Other key themes of the conference will include:
• Discussion of the value conflicts and trade-offs involved in addressing online risks. • Exploration of the legal and national differences which will shape attempts to define international standards or regulations. • Consideration of the speed of change and the implications of technological convergence. Suggested Topics:
A range of speakers from academia, government, industry, law enforcement and NGOs will be invited. In addition, the Oxford Internet Institute invites papers from policy-makers, practitioners and academics on topics that address specific aspects of online security or safety in conjunction with at least one of the other three themes outlined above. Papers with an explicitly international focus and those that have clear implications for policy and practice are especially welcomed. Possible topics might include:
• Censorship, illegal content and unwanted content • Child development, education, media literacy and the Internet • Children's use of the Internet, including access via mobile phones • Content rating and/or age verification • Cyber-terrorism • Digital identification and authentication • Efficacy of anti-spam and anti-virus measures • Implications of location-aware devices and location-based services • International enforcement of online safety and security measures • Privacy and surveillance issues • Protecting home computers and mobile phones • Protecting e-commerce and online payment • Regulation, co-regulation and self-regulation and the role of international bodies in protecting the Internet • Safety and security challenges posed by the delivery of e-government services Key dates:
