Restrictions vs. Liberty Internal breaches Experimental Computer Sciences Personal laptops Vague Responsibilities Academic CSIRT/CERT Tracking down violators Awareness Training and education Developing tools – GEANT SA3 activity Assisting the government Internet role Commercial and even political Interests Technology flaws at application level – DNS, open ports, application software Build-in software flaws Technology race accelerates – difficult to be “a step ahead” 1970 to 1995: Academic Period ◦ Role of Universities and Research Institutions ◦ TCP/IP vs. others ◦ Introducton of Internet 1995 to 2005: Business Period ◦ WWW ◦ Servers ◦ IP addresses still enough 2005 + : Social Phenomena ◦ Web 2.0 ◦ Social networks ◦ Internet of things Bulgaria ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ 1998 to 2005 – mass penetration of Internet IP addresses were already a limited resource 1993 – 2 Class B addresses, 1998 – <6 Class B Number of PC - > 1 mln. (150,000 every year) Number of computers > IP addresses Mobiles – over 100% (potential IP users) 27 Solution: ◦ Almost unlimited number of computers behind the firewall Problem: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Anonymity Tracking users by IP address (Directive #40) Additional hardware and software No sharing of resources and information Universities have important role to play in cybersecurity Universities could be an experimental polygon but also a critical tool to fight cybercrime Investment in academic cybersecurity is justified against increased awareness and adequate cyber behavior 30
