Science literature but what im most interested in is, number one, how to help policymakers to make the decisions about Technology Policy and so that involves understanding the details of our Computer Systems and Network Systems work. And probably more importantly im really interested in how to give all our Computing Technology so that its more responsive to Public Policy needs. Ive been able to do that because ive worked with and continue to work with an Extraordinary Group of computer scientists and other researchers at mit and around the world. Host can you give one example of how you influenced policy . Guest the people are probably well aware as an example that theres a big debate about the use of Encryption Technology. We need encryption to protect our email exchanges, our financial transactions, political speech that goes on, we hope privately online when it needs to.

We need encryption to protect our email exchanges, our financial transactions, political speech that goes on. We hope privately online what it needs to. Governments for decades have ofn concerned that the use strong Encryption Technology would thwart the ability of Law Enforcement to conduct electronic surveillance. From a technical perspective, we look at that question and while acknowledging that encryption and pose some barriers for the police, we have shown through Technical Research that if you try to force all encryption palpable or have upkdoors, then you will end harvesting the security of the millions of people around the world to use the internet and Computing Technology, so well this is an ongoing debate, even governments trying to control encryption have acknowledged that they should not do so in a way that introduces systemic weaknesses.
