UKNOF52 - Panel: Rights, Privacy, and the Network Operator

Speakers: Josh Levett (University of York), Dr Olivier Crépin-Leblond (Internet Society UK England), Rob Wilton (Cisco), Dr Stephen Farrell (Trinity College Dublin) This panel session aims to share perspectives on the user’s right to privacy and security within the context of the network operator. We consider the technical aspects of this, such as TLS-ECH and BGPsec, as well as governmental policies and the role of regulation, engagement with Internet standards, and the position of network operators within this space: what their role is, what it can be, and how operators can inform policies, regulations and standards. We hope to have a discussion with representatives from academia and research, alongside network operators and policymakers.
