2004 Pioneer Award recipient. Since 1991, the EFF Pioneer Awards have recognized individuals who have made significant and influential contributions to the development of computer-mediated communications or to the empowerment of individuals in using computers and the Internet.
Short Bio: Dr. Rubin received his B.S. (89), M.S.E. (91), and Ph.D. (94) in Computer Science from University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. His dissertation title was Nonmonotonic Cryptographic Protocols (322k). Prior to joining the faculty at Johns Hopkins, he worked in the Secure Systems Research Department at AT&T Labs - Research. His work there was in the area of cryptography, network security, Web security and secure Internet services. Before AT&T, He worked at Bellcore (now Telcordia) in Applied Research. Now Dr. Rubin is a fulltime professor of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University and he is also the Technical Director of the Hopkins Information Security Institute.

*Abstract*: This talk will explore security issues with electronic voting as well as Internet voting. In the last several years since the Florida debacle, states have been pushing to upgrade their voting technologies, and they have moved to adopt new machines without the proper care to make sure that wide-scale fraud could not happen. We'll examine some security flaws found in a popular voting machine that is currently in wide-spread use. Finally, we will look at the government's proposed system for military and overseas personnel to vote over the Internet and discuss security risks in that system. We'll explain why that project was ultimately canceled.

Banquet Program: Computer Security, a play by Dr. Richard Epstein

Short Bio: Richard G. Epstein is Professor of Computer Science at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Epstein received his Ph. D. in Computer Science from Temple University in 1988.

Since the mid-1990s Dr. Epstein has been writing extensively on computer ethics and the social implications of computing. His computer ethics scenario and book, The Case of the Killer Robot (1997), has been used around the world to explore the ethical and professional issues involved in software engineering. In 1999 he began writing plays on computer ethics, the social implications of computing, and computer security.

In 2003 Dr. Epstein received the ACM SIGCAS Outstanding Service Award for the writing that he has done. That award made special reference to the plays that have been presented at numerous conferences and other public events.

Abstract: “Computer Security” is about boundaries, and how ubiquitous computer technology is destroying boundaries. In our spiritual traditions, it is usually seen as good to destroy boundaries and see everything as “one”. However, when this concept of removing boundaries is the goal of a computer hacker (or, violator in the language of the play), the results can be disastrous. This play is about an ethics professor at Haverford College (Fred Johnway) and his wife (Harriet Johnway), who decide they must hire a violator to take down the borg that Harriet’s mother has married. There’s lots of money at stake. The interaction between the ethics professor and the violator gives us an opportunity to explore some of the ethical issues in modern day hacking. Unfortunately, things don’t unfold quite the way the ethics professor and his wife would have preferred. Schedule
