Safety
and Security in a Networked World: Balancing Cyber-Rights and
Responsibilities
Date: 8-10 September 2005
Location: Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
Attendance: The registration process for this event will open in the
spring.
The Oxford
Internet Institute (OII) is organising a major conference, in
collaboration with the University of Auckland, NetSafe (the New
Zealand government backed Internet Safety Group), EURIM and others, to
address the value choices and conflicts surrounding cybersafety in a
converging world. The conference will feature leading international
authorities from government, industry, NGOs and academia, including
the computer sciences, humanities, law and the social sciences. It
will be held between 8th and 10th September 2005 at the University of
Oxford.
At a time
when reports of the apparent risks of the Internet receive ever more
media coverage, the conference aims to encourage debate around the
complex web of issues, assumptions and trade-offs that must be
addressed if progress is to be made in improving online safety and
security at a personal, national and international level. Accepting
that there are no 'quick fixes' to be supplied by any one sector,
organization or nation, the conference will seek to encourage dialogue
between citizens, users, governments, law enforcement agencies,
industry and education both by inviting participants from a wide
variety of sectors to attend the conference, and in identifying
fruitful areas for future co-operation in
practice.
Conference Themes
The
conference will address a wide range of topics around the central
theme of improving online safety and security. Other key themes of the
conference will include:
- Discussion of the value conflicts and
trade-offs involved in addressing online risks.
- Exploration of the legal and national
differences which will shape attempts to define international
standards or regulations.
- Consideration of the speed of change
and the implications of technological convergence.
Suggested
Topics:
A range of speakers from academia, government, industry, law
enforcement and NGOs will be invited. In addition, the Oxford Internet
Institute invites papers from policy-makers, practitioners and
academics on topics that address specific aspects of online security
or safety in conjunction with at least one of the other three themes
outlined above. Papers with an explicitly international focus and
those that have clear implications for policy and practice are
especially welcomed. Possible topics might include:
- Censorship, illegal content and
unwanted content
- Child development, education, media
literacy and the Internet
- Children's use of the Internet,
including access via mobile phones
- Content rating and/or age
verification
- Cyber-terrorism
- Digital identification and
authentication
- Efficacy of anti-spam and anti-virus
measures
- Implications of location-aware
devices and location-based services
- International enforcement of online
safety and security measures
- Privacy and surveillance
issues
- Protecting home computers and mobile
phones
- Protecting e-commerce and online
payment
- Regulation, co-regulation and

Internet
- Safety and security challenges posed
by the delivery of e-government services
