Overview

Privacy finally earned its legitimate place in the world of the technology despite years of being dismissed as the domain of the paranoid or the guilty. But strong privacy often requires what some consider its nefarious sibling, anonymity. Is collecting so much identifying data about users really critical to security? This presentation will approach how strong privacy enhancing technologies should also be appreciating the necessity of anonymity, or at least pseudonymity, in their design.

George Rosamond – Founder and CTO, ClearOPS

By craft a Unix systems administrator, George Rosamond gravitated towards privacy technologies in the mid-2000's (decade) before it emerged as a distinct field when he began running a Tor relay in 2006. His experience ranges from building out infrastructures and colocation to software development, and thrives on trainings for vulnerable less-technical audiences. He is a long-time contributor to the open-source BSD Unix community on various levels, and is on the core of Tor Project. He was central to launching the NYC *BSD User Group in 2003 and the BSD Certification project. He has worked on a number of grant-funded privacy enhancing technology grants in the past.

George is a founder and CTO of ClearOPS, Inc, which he co-founded with privacy attorney Caroline McCaffery in 2017. For George, ClearOPS is an opportunity to apply his array of skills and experiences to concrete problems facing organizations today.
