>> I'm Lance Hoffmann Director of the Cyber Security Policy and Research Institute.
Welcome everybody.
CSPRI as most of you know is an institute
of GW facilitates cyber security policy technical events of all sorts
and we develop research proposals and administer projects in this area.
You can see our current work online at the website and www.cspri.seas.gwu.edu
or whatever it is you know what it is.
Let's see I'll skip that for today.
Okay. This is the 6th event in our seminar series for the year for the academic year
and we have one more coming up we thought we were going to end
at the school in April but were not.
So for those of you who are still around we know many of our cyber corps students are going to be
around working you may want to jot down May 16, noon, in room 302 at the Marvin Center.
The topic is going to be electronic voting in the States,
is the insecurity worth the enfranchisements.
Because there's a big electronic voting day, verified voting is coming back
and doing a press conference doing a whole bunch of Hill stuff and we are putting on a panel
with some of their people and some people who disagree with them on internet voting
so it should be very interesting.
So mark the date May 16 at noon here.
So we also may have some demonstrations on voting systems, alleged secure or insecure
but stay tuned well get more out on you -- for you in the news letter.
Let's see okay we're video recording all of these remarks here, ultimately they will appear
on our website and on our You Tube channel so let me start now
without further ado getting to the speakers.
Let me introduce the speakers on my left, your right is Nan Zhang he is an assistant professor
in the computer science department at GW he received his doctorate in computer science
from Texas A and M and a bachelors in computer science from Peking University, China.
His research interests focus on data bases, information security
and privacy, and distributed systems.
He and his doctoral student recently went to GW the business plan competition
for their company [sic] and congratulations again that was a big gift
for a whole university wide competition on deep search and maybe he'll say a little bit
about that because after all the topic today is legal and technical implications
of recent and future data breaches.
On my right in the center here is Howard Beales.
Howard a professor of strategic management and public policy at the business school.
He got his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago and specializes
in privacy, advertising, consumer protection, and law in economics.
He's the committee chair of the DHS data privacy and integrity advisory committee.
[All talking at once]
>> His current research involves privacy regulations behavior economics and implication
for credit card regulatory policies.
On my far right on the far left but not only for this panel I think is Orin Kerr,
professor of law at the GW law school.
He teaches criminal law, criminal procedure and computer crime law.
His articles have appeared in the Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Journal, Stanford Law Review
and many other prestigious journals.
Before joining our faculty 11 years ago he was an honors program trial attorney
in the computer crime an d intellectual property section of the criminal division
at the U.S. Department of Justice.
So as you can see we've got a very good panel here to talk a bit about the legal
and technical implications of recent and future data breaches.
What we're going to do is take 10 minutes per panelist and then I'll allow maybe 5
or 10 minutes or so for questions amongst the panel and then maybe audience questions.
We'll stop roughly at one or there about because we will then sort of pivot
to the cyber corps launch and recognition ceremony.
So, oh one more thing before I forget.
Taking care of business a couple of the cybercorps students mentioned
that their students keep getting tuition bills and they still haven't been paid yet.
I am been told in an e-mail this morning the balance has been paid.
Check your balances online if they haven't been paid talk to me
because I think you've got it really taken care of now.
What happened is some students added courses
after a certain time and they didn't get picked up.
Okay. So I thought what I might do is start perhaps from the business point of view
with Howard if that's okay and have you talk about the breach issue as you see it.
And then I thought I'd pivot to the technical with Nan and then go back to and then go back
to Orin and say your legal and crime framework you could be in trouble.
