we learned from this node
we learned from this node is that the government’s go to industry

back up my story what we built now is
back up my story what we built now is something which was called by the

he designed a long time ago at the end of the 18th century a prison where the
of the 18th century a prison where the
of the 18th century a prison where the guards would be watching the prisoners
guards would be watching the prisoners
guards would be watching the prisoners all the time and the idea was if people
all the time and the idea was if people
all the time and the idea was if people I watched all the time they will behave
I watched all the time they will behave
I watched all the time they will behave properly in the 19th century these
properly in the 19th century these
properly in the 19th century these prisons were built two of them in the UK
prisons were built two of them in the UK
prisons were built two of them in the UK and guess what people didn’t like them
and guess what people didn’t like them
and guess what people didn’t like them because we don’t like to be watched all
because we don’t like to be watched all
because we don’t like to be watched all the time and it can be abused by

power from individual to government and if you think of Stasi
if you think of Stasi
if you think of Stasi the Stasi could only have dreamt of such
the Stasi could only have dreamt of such

a system so it’s very strange in the 70s
a system so it’s very strange in the 70s I’m told that the Stasi is terrible and
I’m told that the Stasi is terrible and
I’m told that the Stasi is terrible and I wake up 40 years later and in fact we
I wake up 40 years later and in fact we
I wake up 40 years later and in fact we see that our governments and industry
see that our governments and industry
see that our governments and industry have built exactly the system the Stasi
have built exactly the system the Stasi
have built exactly the system the Stasi could only dream of isn’t that bizarre
could only dream of isn’t that bizarre
could only dream of isn’t that bizarre so what we told the citizens is that to

everything going to central places in
everything going to central places in the cloud it’s political decision and we
the cloud it’s political decision and we
the cloud it’s political decision and we can actually build an internet where

can actually build an internet where data stays local and a good example is a
data stays local and a good example is a
data stays local and a good example is a Skype Skype was a European company
Skype Skype was a European company
Skype Skype was a European company offering telephony services with no

Skype it was bought by a US company it
Skype it was bought by a US company it was made centralized so by having such

was made centralized so by having such centralized systems you become
centralized systems you become
centralized systems you become vulnerable to failure by hacks by other
vulnerable to failure by hacks by other
vulnerable to failure by hacks by other nation states and by data breaches so
nation states and by data breaches so
nation states and by data breaches so what we should do is rethink the
what we should do is rethink the
what we should do is rethink the internet and stop putting all our data
internet and stop putting all our data
internet and stop putting all our data in the cloud it’s not very smart to do
in the cloud it’s not very smart to do
in the cloud it’s not very smart to do this and it’s actually possible to do it
this and it’s actually possible to do it
this and it’s actually possible to do it differently so think of the smart phone
differently so think of the smart phone
differently so think of the smart phone here this has 50 times more power than a

here this has 50 times more power than a great computer from the 80s
great computer from the 80s
great computer from the 80s yet the smartphone industry tries to

convince me that this phone is too
convince me that this phone is too stupid to actually tell somebody which
stupid to actually tell somebody which
stupid to actually tell somebody which advertisement I want to see but I want
advertisement I want to see but I want
advertisement I want to see but I want to see something for a trip or for a car
to see something for a trip or for a car
to see something for a trip or for a car or for some other service no this has to
or for some other service no this has to
or for some other service no this has to be done in the cloud why can’t my phone
be done in the cloud why can’t my phone
be done in the cloud why can’t my phone decide that and tell the cloud show this
decide that and tell the cloud show this
decide that and tell the cloud show this guy this kind of advertisement so we
guy this kind of advertisement so we
guy this kind of advertisement so we should keep data local those machines
should keep data local those machines
should keep data local those machines are powerful enough to keep our data
are powerful enough to keep our data
are powerful enough to keep our data under our control in our devices
under our control in our devices
under our control in our devices sometimes you have to pull data and it’s
sometimes you have to pull data and it’s
sometimes you have to pull data and it’s a bit technical but I’m a cryptographer
a bit technical but I’m a cryptographer
a bit technical but I’m a cryptographer and we’ve invented in the last decades
and we’ve invented in the last decades
and we’ve invented in the last decades of magic where you can encrypt your data
of magic where you can encrypt your data
of magic where you can encrypt your data protect your data in the cloud and still
protect your data in the cloud and still
protect your data in the cloud and still get value out of it’s still compute on
get value out of it’s still compute on
get value out of it’s still compute on the data without showing your data to
the data without showing your data to
the data without showing your data to any mode so this is something which was
any mode so this is something which was
any mode so this is something which was science fiction 20 or 30 years ago but
science fiction 20 or 30 years ago but
science fiction 20 or 30 years ago but it’s actually reality today
it’s actually reality today
it’s actually reality today and finally I think we have to have open

worked very hard to develop this and
worked very hard to develop this and with technology we kind of turned the
with technology we kind of turned the
with technology we kind of turned the tables in a few decades time I think the
tables in a few decades time I think the
tables in a few decades time I think the main message is we can actually turn
main message is we can actually turn
main message is we can actually turn this around so my generation witnessed
this around so my generation witnessed
this around so my generation witnessed the Internet as a fantastic big machine
the Internet as a fantastic big machine
the Internet as a fantastic big machine developing with billions of devices in

the next generation and I’m happy to
the next generation and I’m happy to help you we should rethink things build
help you we should rethink things build
help you we should rethink things build new IT infrastructures which are
