PST2010 Conference: Preliminary Call for Papers
The PST2010 International Conference on Privacy, Security and Trust (PST) is being held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, August 17-19, 2010.
This year’s theme is “Privacy, Security and Trust by Design: PbD - The Gold Standard.” With the growth and ubiquity of data in today’s hyper-networked world, the need for trust has become more critical than ever. We need new paradigms that seek to integrate and build privacy, security and trustworthiness directly into technologies and systems from the outset and by default.

Preempting Dissent: Surveillance, Security and Protest Open source project
Dr. Greg Elmer’s open source video remixing project seeks to further develop ideas introduced in Preempting Dissent, written by both himself and Andy Opel. The site is up and running and already has a significant interview with leading privacy expert, Colin Bennett. Visitors to the website can use existing video for multimedia projects and campaigns, upload new content, comment on videos or even remix or edit existing media on the project site. This is a participatory project that can only succeed if people use, upload and remix the content. As all content is open source it is freely available to all.
