Press release The Eindhoven Institute for the Protection of Systems and Information (Ei/PSI) organizes a 1-day event on Security in Times of Surveillance on Monday, 28 April 2014. The event will take place at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven. It features eight invited talks covering technical as well as legal and political aspects of security and surveillance. "Information gathering by companies and agencies has become ubiquitous." said Prof Tanja Lange, the main organizer of the event. "Surveillance makes everyone less secure. Thieves are stealing information from one centralized database after another. Government agencies are so focussed on mass surveillance that they would rather have everyone vulnerable than everyone secure." The invited speakers are * Jacob Appelbaum, Tor project, security researcher and journalist * Rop Gonggrijp, Security researcher * Ruben Niederhagen, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven * Jean-Jacques Quisquater, Universite catholique de Louvain * Marietje Schaake, Member of the European Parliament for D66 * Jan Smits, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven * Moti Yung, Google and Columbia University * Hans de Zwart, Bits of Freedom Registration will be free but limited.
