Mikko Hypponen: Open Source Software Will Make the World More Secure
================================================================================
Open source software can be one answer to combating the global surveillance of innocent citizens, said security expert Mikko Hypponen in his keynote last week at [LinuxCon and CloudOpen Europe][1] in Edinburgh.

*Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure in Finland, spoke at LinuxCon and CloudOpen Europe 2013 in Edinburgh.*
Advances in computing and the rise of global networks have made the storage and transmission of data cheap and easy. This has created unparalleled connectivity, progress and innovation, Hypponen said. But its also enabled large-scale access to that data as demonstrated by the NSAs PRISM program, made public this year in a series of top-secret document leaks by former U.S. government contractor Edward Snowden.
“In the last few years we've realized data is cheap. We never have to delete anything anymore, ever,” said Hypponen, chief research officer at F-Secure in Finland. “This has enabled lots of great things but also global wholesale blanket surveillance.”
Such access to our personal data, including cell phone records, geolocation, email and search engine queries, may be warranted in some cases, Hypponen said.
“I do believe some surveillance is OK,” he said. “If there's an investigation into finding a school shooter or drug lord or member of a terrorist cell… we should have the technical means of doing that. But we must first have the suspicion.”
But collecting the communications and personal data of “everyone” is not only a violation of privacy, but a threat to democracy, Hypponen said.
“Even if you don't have a problem with our government today, we don't know what the government will be 20 years from now,” he said. ”If they have 20 years of your search data, they'll find something illegal or embarrassing to twist your hand.”
Though the leaks have caused some IT professionals to question the safety of their data stored with and routed through U.S. service providers, avoiding these companies and services wont solve the problem, Hypponen said. Neither can each country afford the time and expense of building its own alternatives.
Working across international boundaries, developers should band together to build secure and reliable software and services that prevent back-door tampering and ensure users privacy, Hypponen said.
“I suggest that open source provides a solution to this problem,” he said. “Then countries don't have to work alone. It will be secure, open and free.”

米科·哈普宁:开源软件使世界更安全
================================================================================
安全专家米科·哈普宁(Mikko Hypponen)于上周在爱丁堡举行的[LinuxCon and CloudOpen Europe][1]会议上的主题演讲中说:"开源软件可以作为一个方法来打击全球监视无辜居民的行为。"

*米科·哈普宁芬兰F-Secure的首席研究员在爱丁堡举行的LinuxCon and CloudOpen Europe 2013会议上讲话。*
计算和全球网络增加的进步使得存储和传输数据变得便宜且简单。哈普宁说这创造了无比的连通性、进步和创新。但是同样使得大规模的数据被访问到就像NSA的棱镜项目演示的那样这事件随着前美国政府员工爱德华·斯诺登(Edward Snowden)泄漏的一系列顶级机密文件而公开。
哈普宁芬兰F-Secure的首席研究员说:"前几年我们已经意识到数据是廉价的。我们永远不必再删除任何数据。这促成了很多伟大的事情但同样也引发了大规模地毯式的监视。"
哈普宁说:"这些监视会访问我们的个人数据,包括电话记录、地理位置、电子邮件和搜索引擎请求,有些可能是被授权的。"
他说:"我相信一些监控是好的。如果有有一项研究来找出校园枪击者或者毒枭或者恐怖组织成员等等。我们应该已经有技术手段这么做。但是我们首先必须必须持有怀疑。"
哈普宁说:"但是收集通信和每个人的个人数据不仅是对隐私的侵犯还是对民主的威胁。"
他说:"即使你如今对政府认为没问题但是我们不知道政府会在今后的20年怎么样。如果他们有你20年的搜索数据他们会找出一些非法的或者令人尴尬的理由来扭曲你的手。"
哈普宁说:"虽然泄漏事件使得一些IT专家质疑他们的数据存储的安全性和经由美国服务商的的路由但避免这些公司和服务不能解决问题。同样不能每个国家都花费和金钱来建造他们自己的替代品。"
哈普宁说:"要跨越国际边际地工作,开发者应该团结起来建造一个安全和可靠的软件和服务来放置后门篡改和用户隐私。"
他说:"我建议开源软件对这个问题提供一个解决方案。那么国家就不必独自工作。这将会变得安全、开放和免费。"
