WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:12.000 So, the next speaker is Macdog, and he's going to talk about privacy, and so many of these 00:12.000 --> 00:14.000 in a post-quantum-mopen world. 00:14.000 --> 00:17.000 Can everybody hear me? 00:17.000 --> 00:18.000 Good. 00:18.000 --> 00:20.000 Who is Macdog? 00:20.000 --> 00:24.000 I've been about a long time, but I'm not even going to worry about this slide. 00:24.000 --> 00:27.000 You can read about it later. 00:27.000 --> 00:32.000 But I want to talk about kings and surfs. 00:32.000 --> 00:35.000 A king is a sovereign. 00:35.000 --> 00:37.000 You people in Europe know a lot about that. 00:37.000 --> 00:42.000 We had a little trouble with him, a person named King George, while back. 00:42.000 --> 00:45.000 But kings tell this surfs what to do. 00:45.000 --> 00:48.000 You know, the king owns the land, the king owns everything. 00:48.000 --> 00:54.000 The king tells the surfs when to farm, how much taxes to pay them and stuff like that. 00:54.000 --> 00:58.000 You get buried, and the surfs own nothing. 00:58.000 --> 01:03.000 Now, here in the United States, or in the United States, we don't know that much about kings, 01:03.000 --> 01:06.000 but we do know about slaves. 01:06.000 --> 01:09.000 And in the slave, when you're a slave, you own nothing. 01:09.000 --> 01:13.000 You know, you don't even, you told who to marry when to have children. 01:13.000 --> 01:20.000 You don't have any food except that the master gives you slaves own nothing. 01:21.000 --> 01:25.000 When you are close to his company, you and the masters. 01:25.000 --> 01:29.000 You tell people where to put their software when to update their software. 01:29.000 --> 01:33.000 When their hardware is obsolete, Windows 10. 01:33.000 --> 01:39.000 How many people can use your software and when to retire your software, Windows XP? 01:39.000 --> 01:44.000 Do you realize that there are over 12 million people still using Windows XP? 01:44.000 --> 01:46.000 Yeah, they can't get rid of it. 01:46.000 --> 01:48.000 They can't go onto something else. 01:48.000 --> 01:50.000 They don't have the device drivers for their hardware, 01:50.000 --> 01:53.000 and they don't have the applications for the software. 01:53.000 --> 01:57.000 And so they're stuck still using Windows XP. 01:57.000 --> 02:01.000 So close to his users or software slaves. 02:01.000 --> 02:05.000 An open source is really not much better. 02:05.000 --> 02:07.000 It's great for developers. 02:07.000 --> 02:09.000 It's great for companies. 02:09.000 --> 02:15.000 You can develop things faster because you have these large blocks of software that you can go and use. 02:15.000 --> 02:19.000 You can integrate and change to meet your needs. 02:19.000 --> 02:22.000 That makes it efficient for you. 02:22.000 --> 02:26.000 But for the end user, you're still a lot of time stuck. 02:26.000 --> 02:32.000 Because all you get is the binary from the company that uses the open source. 02:32.000 --> 02:37.000 And so many of the determinants of closed source still apply. 02:38.000 --> 02:46.000 Free done software is the path which is stolen when you've got them drunk enough with lament. 02:46.000 --> 02:52.000 That it was, you made a mistake calling it free software because everybody thinks it's grottas software. 02:52.000 --> 02:54.000 You know, in English we have this problem. 02:54.000 --> 02:57.000 Free is in freedom and free is in grottas. 02:57.000 --> 03:01.000 A lot of other countries and languages have it much better. 03:02.000 --> 03:11.000 And when you have free software, you can put it wherever you want because you have the source code that you can compile for the architecture that you need. 03:11.000 --> 03:15.000 You can upgrade the software when you want to. 03:15.000 --> 03:18.000 And for as many users as you want. 03:18.000 --> 03:21.000 And some people say, well, Matt, I don't have the expertise to do that. 03:21.000 --> 03:24.000 You know, I'm a business person or whatever. 03:24.000 --> 03:30.000 But you have all the ingredients and you can go out and hire somebody who does have the expertise. 03:30.000 --> 03:33.000 To help your solve your problem. 03:33.000 --> 03:37.000 So now it becomes a business question for you. 03:37.000 --> 03:48.000 Is it worthwhile to live with what I have or do I spend the money to hire the expertise in order to get what I need? 03:48.000 --> 03:51.000 But business people really hate the word freedom. 03:51.000 --> 03:54.000 Politicians hate it too. 03:54.000 --> 03:59.000 They don't like anything about freedom because that means that their customers can go off to a different way. 03:59.000 --> 04:03.000 No off to a different, no vendor. 04:03.000 --> 04:05.000 With freedom comes choice. 04:05.000 --> 04:08.000 And with freedom comes competition. 04:08.000 --> 04:12.000 But what business people like is the word control. 04:12.000 --> 04:16.000 When they have the control of their business. 04:16.000 --> 04:20.000 So you go out to talk to a business person about using free software. 04:20.000 --> 04:25.000 You say, hey, you know, don't talk to nothing about the freedom part. 04:25.000 --> 04:27.000 Think about the control part. 04:27.000 --> 04:29.000 And they'll be much more likely to have it. 04:29.000 --> 04:34.000 Now, in other words, it was being up lately as sovereignty. 04:34.000 --> 04:36.000 I can't count the number of times. 04:36.000 --> 04:37.000 You're at Boston. 04:37.000 --> 04:39.000 I've heard the word sovereignty. 04:39.000 --> 04:43.000 You know, and we think about it as country and country sovereignty. 04:43.000 --> 04:46.000 We want to keep the data in our own country as sovereign. 04:46.000 --> 04:48.000 Under our own laws as sovereign. 04:48.000 --> 04:49.000 Okay. 04:49.000 --> 04:54.000 And I have to thank Donald Trump for bringing this to the forefront. 04:54.000 --> 04:57.000 Yeah, right. 04:57.000 --> 05:02.000 But now the rest of the world needs sovereignty, okay? 05:02.000 --> 05:06.000 But it's not just a sovereignty of the data like we've been hearing about for years, 05:06.000 --> 05:09.000 but the sovereignty of the software. 05:09.000 --> 05:13.000 Where does a company reside at owns the software? 05:13.000 --> 05:16.000 Do they reside in California like a lot of them do? 05:16.000 --> 05:19.000 Do they reside in the state of Washington like a lot of them do? 05:19.000 --> 05:22.000 And can the United States government come along and say, 05:22.000 --> 05:26.000 no, Cuba can't use your software. 05:26.000 --> 05:30.000 I ran, can't use your software. 05:30.000 --> 05:36.000 Or the international court can't use your software and I'm going to turn it off. 05:36.000 --> 05:38.000 You can't live with that. 05:38.000 --> 05:39.000 You can't live with that. 05:39.000 --> 05:42.000 And sovereignty goes to also the design chain, 05:42.000 --> 05:49.000 the manufacturing supply chain of your hardware and your software. 05:50.000 --> 05:53.000 The users need to have control. 05:53.000 --> 05:55.000 And now there's one more consideration. 05:55.000 --> 05:58.000 I haven't heard talked about a lot in this thing. 05:58.000 --> 06:00.000 It's quantum computing. 06:00.000 --> 06:02.000 It is coming. 06:02.000 --> 06:07.000 You know, and we need to take all the data which we've been encrypting for all these years, 06:07.000 --> 06:11.000 using our nice encryption techniques based on prime numbers. 06:11.000 --> 06:16.000 And we need to fix that because when quantum computing is here, 06:16.000 --> 06:19.000 they're going to be able to decrypt using brute force. 06:19.000 --> 06:25.000 These prime number, you know, algorithms in about 15 seconds. 06:25.000 --> 06:28.000 And this also includes our VPNs. 06:28.000 --> 06:32.000 There are algorithms out there now, which I'm going to say are quantum, 06:32.000 --> 06:36.000 I'm not going to say quantum proof because I don't believe anything is proof. 06:36.000 --> 06:38.000 But they're quantum resistant. 06:38.000 --> 06:42.000 And we need to use these algorithms. 06:42.000 --> 06:45.000 And we need to move towards multi-factor authentication. 06:45.000 --> 06:49.000 We can't post our posted notes up on our screen anymore, 06:49.000 --> 06:51.000 with our password on it. 06:51.000 --> 06:52.000 Okay. 06:52.000 --> 06:54.000 And we can't even use passphrases, 06:54.000 --> 07:00.000 and we thought we're pretty good because they're susceptible. 07:00.000 --> 07:03.000 And we don't have plenty of time to do this because, 07:03.000 --> 07:06.000 oh, it's mad dog, quantum computing is 10 years, 07:06.000 --> 07:10.000 no, no, five years, no, two years away. 07:10.000 --> 07:15.000 No, because the problem is there are people going around stealing the data today, 07:15.000 --> 07:20.000 and when quantum computing comes, they're going to decrypt it tomorrow. 07:20.000 --> 07:25.000 And the secrets that you have in there are going to be just as effective, 07:25.000 --> 07:29.000 just as valuable when they can decrypt it. 07:29.000 --> 07:32.000 So we need to start doing this now. 07:32.000 --> 07:35.000 Okay. You need to go back to your organizations to say, 07:35.000 --> 07:37.000 the algorithms exist. 07:37.000 --> 07:39.000 Let's start doing the work to do it. 07:39.000 --> 07:44.000 This is just like Y2K, only worse, because with Y2K, you simply stop. 07:44.000 --> 07:47.000 Okay. 07:47.000 --> 07:52.000 We also need to work on encrypted VPNs, we call them QPNs, 07:52.000 --> 07:54.000 because while your VPN is going, 07:54.000 --> 07:57.000 the quantum computers are going to be able to decrypt it, 07:57.000 --> 07:59.000 they're going to be able to get the keys, 07:59.000 --> 08:04.000 and they're going to be able to tap in to your VPN. 08:05.000 --> 08:09.000 So what cloud do you use now, and under whose laws 08:09.000 --> 08:14.000 there's been a lot of talk in the opening keynotes of stuff about migration, 08:14.000 --> 08:17.000 and all the stuff that's going on. Great. 08:17.000 --> 08:20.000 I was doing this 20 years ago. 08:20.000 --> 08:23.000 20 years ago, I was talking about the United States 08:23.000 --> 08:25.000 and the fact you can't trust it. 08:25.000 --> 08:26.000 Okay. 08:26.000 --> 08:28.000 And I didn't even have Trump at that time. 08:28.000 --> 08:32.000 You were still doing his apprentice program. 08:32.000 --> 08:37.000 But you also have to look at your supply chain for your hardware. 08:37.000 --> 08:39.000 What chipset do they use? 08:39.000 --> 08:41.000 Where is it made? 08:41.000 --> 08:46.000 And I can tell you stories about people and certain agencies 08:46.000 --> 08:49.000 that dare not say their name, but they only have three letters in them, 08:49.000 --> 08:54.000 who can go in and they can make a chip that looks exactly like the chip 08:54.000 --> 08:57.000 that you think you're using, but it's not. 08:57.000 --> 09:00.000 And they will intercept your board, 09:00.000 --> 09:04.000 and they will replace that chip, and they'll send it on its way. 09:04.000 --> 09:07.000 And now you've got a chip that they can crack into. 09:07.000 --> 09:10.000 If you think I'm kidding you, I am not. 09:10.000 --> 09:11.000 Okay. 09:11.000 --> 09:14.000 You also have to look at things that you said your boot code. 09:14.000 --> 09:15.000 You should boot code trust it. 09:15.000 --> 09:18.000 You need to be able to look all the way down. 09:18.000 --> 09:21.000 And again, you say, I don't have the expertise to do that. 09:21.000 --> 09:24.000 My mom and dad doesn't have the expertise to do that, 09:24.000 --> 09:28.000 but this is why we need a community of trusted people 09:28.000 --> 09:32.000 to look at it and find it when it's there. 09:32.000 --> 09:36.000 And today, thank God, we have freedom software. 09:36.000 --> 09:40.000 And today, thank God, we have the RISFIVE project. 09:40.000 --> 09:43.000 It was started at the University of California, Berkeley, 09:43.000 --> 09:47.000 to give us the same BSD code, a lot of us depend on. 09:47.000 --> 09:49.000 And now they've moved it to Switzerland. 09:49.000 --> 09:51.000 Why did they do that? 09:51.000 --> 09:53.000 I wonder why. 09:53.000 --> 09:54.000 Okay? 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 They had their reasons. 09:57.000 --> 09:59.000 But we need software and clouds. 09:59.000 --> 10:04.000 Clouds where you need them and clouds that are built for security first. 10:04.000 --> 10:08.000 By the very definition, the clouds we used today are not secure. 10:08.000 --> 10:11.000 Because the first thing you have to do is to log into them. 10:11.000 --> 10:15.000 That means that they're visible to the bad people 10:15.000 --> 10:18.000 and they're visible to you. 10:18.000 --> 10:22.000 And you need to have them in the location where you want them. 10:22.000 --> 10:25.000 And you need to have the software under your control. 10:25.000 --> 10:29.000 So, I am consultant for a company. 10:29.000 --> 10:31.000 I'm wearing their badge here. 10:31.000 --> 10:33.000 Q Sentinel, A.G. 10:33.000 --> 10:35.000 They're located in Switzerland. 10:35.000 --> 10:37.000 They have a data center. 10:37.000 --> 10:39.000 There's a hardened data center in Switzerland. 10:39.000 --> 10:43.000 They have missed approved quantum encryption. 10:43.000 --> 10:45.000 They have open source. 10:45.000 --> 10:46.000 They use next cloud. 10:46.000 --> 10:49.000 And they have, and they're going to be using, I think, 10:49.000 --> 10:52.000 Udu as the ERP system. 10:52.000 --> 10:56.000 They have end-to-end security and sovereign AI. 10:56.000 --> 10:58.000 What do I mean by sovereign AI? 10:58.000 --> 11:04.000 If you use AI, the model that you keep applying your questions against 11:04.000 --> 11:06.000 learns from your questions. 11:06.000 --> 11:11.000 But that model is shared typically amongst lots of people. 11:11.000 --> 11:15.000 So, in effect, those people can find out the information that you're putting, 11:15.000 --> 11:20.000 that you're giving it, teaching this model from AI. 11:20.000 --> 11:25.000 sovereign AI is one that has the model that sits isolated from everybody else. 11:25.000 --> 11:30.000 When you query it, you don't give any of your information to anybody else. 11:30.000 --> 11:33.000 You're a control of the AI. 11:33.000 --> 11:35.000 You can create your own AI models. 11:35.000 --> 11:39.000 But those are only seen by you. 11:39.000 --> 11:42.000 And it's less than simple to your own data center. 11:42.000 --> 11:45.000 So, if you have a data center in your country, 11:45.000 --> 11:50.000 we basically create a container that can be plopped onto a 11:50.000 --> 11:54.000 Lidic system, Red Hat, Susa, a Debian. 11:54.000 --> 12:03.000 And that can become this whole system for doing secure, sovereign cloud. 12:03.000 --> 12:05.000 Now, that was the product. 12:05.000 --> 12:06.000 I'm going to move away from that now. 12:06.000 --> 12:09.000 I'm going to talk about a community cloud. 12:09.000 --> 12:12.000 In the year 2010, a man by the name of Ebon, 12:12.000 --> 12:15.000 in Oakland, who was a law professor at Columbia University. 12:15.000 --> 12:16.000 You may know him. 12:16.000 --> 12:19.000 He wrote the GPL version 3. 12:19.000 --> 12:22.000 Ebon is very concerned about security and privacy. 12:22.000 --> 12:26.000 And so, he started a project called FreedomBox.org. 12:26.000 --> 12:32.000 It is a tiny little server that sits on a single-port computer, 12:32.000 --> 12:33.000 like this one. 12:33.000 --> 12:36.000 This is a lab of door as part of the Kineena's Lucas project, 12:36.000 --> 12:41.000 which I started back in 2012 to allow Brazil to design a complete 12:41.000 --> 12:49.000 computer, design, manufacture, set up supply lines and things like that in Brazil 12:49.000 --> 12:51.000 and in Latin America. 12:51.000 --> 12:53.000 It's an open-source design. 12:53.000 --> 12:54.000 It's available. 12:54.000 --> 12:57.000 But FreedomBox can also work on Raspberry Pi. 12:57.000 --> 13:01.000 It can also work on a bigal bones. 13:01.000 --> 13:05.000 It can work on lots of different little single-port computers. 13:05.000 --> 13:10.000 And you can also do backup from the little computer that plugs in your house 13:10.000 --> 13:12.000 and runs at your house. 13:12.000 --> 13:15.000 And you can send the data to a friend's system. 13:15.000 --> 13:17.000 Many miles away. 13:17.000 --> 13:19.000 So, in case it's a fire, a flood or earthquake, 13:19.000 --> 13:22.000 or military comes into your house. 13:22.000 --> 13:24.000 You have your status safe there. 13:24.000 --> 13:26.000 It supports on top of this, 13:26.000 --> 13:28.000 Fediverse DiParty Software. 13:28.000 --> 13:32.000 So, diaspora and all of the things that we can reply 13:32.000 --> 13:35.000 social software sits on top of this. 13:35.000 --> 13:37.000 And all of this software, by and away, 13:37.000 --> 13:40.000 is available in Debian releases. 13:40.000 --> 13:42.000 So, it's easy to install. 13:42.000 --> 13:45.000 It's easy to get going. 13:45.000 --> 13:48.000 Now, with all of that, we have one last factor. 13:48.000 --> 13:49.000 The one last thing that's missing. 13:49.000 --> 13:52.000 And that's multi-factor authentication. 13:52.000 --> 13:55.000 We need to get people to be serious about this, right? 13:55.000 --> 13:58.000 Everybody knows, log in name, password. 13:58.000 --> 13:59.000 You know, cat. 13:59.000 --> 14:00.000 Okay, there's my password. 14:00.000 --> 14:01.000 Great. 14:01.000 --> 14:03.000 But that's not good enough. 14:04.000 --> 14:07.000 Then we went to multiple, then we went to phrases. 14:07.000 --> 14:09.000 You know, past phrases. 14:09.000 --> 14:11.000 Still not good enough, because people can sit there 14:11.000 --> 14:13.000 and watch which you're typing. 14:13.000 --> 14:16.000 We need to have something that's really secure 14:16.000 --> 14:17.000 and multi-secure. 14:17.000 --> 14:19.000 So, my laptop right here. 14:19.000 --> 14:23.000 I can't, this is my laptop, but my laptop right there. 14:23.000 --> 14:29.000 I type in my password, but you also have to have my hardware key, 14:29.000 --> 14:32.000 which I have to plug into it before I can. 14:32.000 --> 14:34.000 Use it. 14:34.000 --> 14:38.000 And then, if I go to a library, for example, 14:38.000 --> 14:40.000 and I'm using a library computer, 14:40.000 --> 14:43.000 I can use this key to access my Google account, 14:43.000 --> 14:46.000 if I went to, or any other thing which has 14:46.000 --> 14:52.000 recognizes the standard software that goes with this. 14:52.000 --> 14:55.000 You know, you can do fingerprint. 14:55.000 --> 14:58.000 I don't like facial recognition because my beard is here 14:58.000 --> 15:00.000 and it hides most of my face. 15:01.000 --> 15:04.000 But geographical oriented time oriented day, 15:04.000 --> 15:06.000 oriented all these type of things, 15:06.000 --> 15:08.000 or multi-factor authentication. 15:08.000 --> 15:11.000 If you do get it hardware key, you really need to. 15:11.000 --> 15:14.000 Because if you lose one or stolen, 15:14.000 --> 15:17.000 you need to have the other one along with your mother, 15:17.000 --> 15:19.000 or in a safety deposit box, 15:19.000 --> 15:22.000 because you're not going to be able to get into your system. 15:22.000 --> 15:25.000 And you need to have it have a standard, like, 15:25.000 --> 15:29.000 or two, so where's the cost of wide variety of cloud projects 15:29.000 --> 15:32.000 and operating systems and things like that? 15:32.000 --> 15:36.000 And I like it to have an open design for two reasons. 15:36.000 --> 15:38.000 It has to be inspectable. 15:38.000 --> 15:40.000 You have to be able to look at it and make sure 15:40.000 --> 15:42.000 that there's nothing hidden in this. 15:42.000 --> 15:45.000 And it has to have a long life. 15:45.000 --> 15:49.000 So, I've been working with a company called SolarKeys.com. 15:49.000 --> 15:53.000 In 2001, they came out with a very nice key set. 15:53.000 --> 15:56.000 They were hit by COVID, they were hit by supply chain issues, 15:56.000 --> 15:58.000 and stuff like that, so they kind of fell behind, 15:58.000 --> 16:00.000 but they're starting to get back up again. 16:00.000 --> 16:02.000 It is a secure key. 16:02.000 --> 16:05.000 They also have a hacker version, so you can do your own work, 16:05.000 --> 16:06.000 and you can hack your own code, 16:06.000 --> 16:08.000 and stuff to put it into the key if you want to. 16:08.000 --> 16:12.000 And then you can tighten it down to lock it down. 16:12.000 --> 16:14.000 It is vital to compliant. 16:14.000 --> 16:18.000 It works on a wide variety of different operating systems and applications. 16:18.000 --> 16:20.000 With that, I'm done. 16:20.000 --> 16:22.000 Any questions? 16:22.000 --> 16:23.000 Yes, sir. 16:23.000 --> 16:28.000 I'm just going to let you slide to the subordinate. 16:28.000 --> 16:30.000 How do you see identity? 16:30.000 --> 16:32.000 What person will date to identity? 16:32.000 --> 16:36.000 Does that mean you sort of like, when you see the brighter? 16:36.000 --> 16:38.000 Well, again. 16:38.000 --> 16:42.000 Oh, let me see if I can repeat it. 16:42.000 --> 16:46.000 With sovereignty, what do I see about, I'm sorry, you say it again? 16:47.000 --> 16:52.000 Okay. 16:52.000 --> 16:56.000 So, in the secure Sentinel, it's really for a company, a corporation, 16:56.000 --> 17:01.000 and one of the things about huge Sentinel is that it's invisible from the outside, 17:01.000 --> 17:07.000 because it uses the QPN to communicate between the cloud and devices. 17:07.000 --> 17:11.000 So you have a systems administrator who actually sets up the accounts, 17:11.000 --> 17:14.000 sets up the devices, makes that connection. 17:15.000 --> 17:18.000 It's not the device that connects to the cloud. 17:18.000 --> 17:20.000 It's a cloud that connects to the device. 17:20.000 --> 17:27.000 That this is obviously for company and institutional sovereignty. 17:27.000 --> 17:31.000 And that is where freedom box comes in. 17:31.000 --> 17:35.000 For your personal stuff, keep it on freedom box. 17:35.000 --> 17:39.000 And freedom box can either be your own personal server, 17:39.000 --> 17:42.000 or it could be a community server, 17:42.000 --> 17:46.000 if you add the Fediver style party software when top of it. 17:46.000 --> 17:47.000 Okay. 17:47.000 --> 17:50.000 But that's where you keep your personal stuff to my things. 17:50.000 --> 17:53.000 Cat pictures, you can still send this to Google. 17:53.000 --> 17:56.000 Just keep sending this, cat pictures to Google, 17:56.000 --> 18:01.000 send them to Elon Musk, I'd like them to be in a day with cat pictures. 18:01.000 --> 18:06.000 Next question. 18:06.000 --> 18:07.000 Okay. 18:07.000 --> 18:08.000 Thank you very much. 18:09.000 --> 18:13.000 Thank you very much.
