Internet’s Three Operating Layers

Telecommunications infrastructure –Physical network made up of underwater cables, telephone lines, fiber optics, satellites, microwaves, wi-fi, and so on Facilitates transfer of electronic data over the Internet

Internet protocols and standards (TCP/IP, DNS, SSL) – TCP/IP, controls traffic flow by dividing email and web data into packages before they are transmitted on the Internet

Content and applications standards (HTML, XML, Java) – Promotes creativity and innovation in applications leading to email, World Wide Web, ebanking, wiki, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, YouTube and much more

How is the Internet governed?• Some facts regarding the Internet and its economy

• > 3 billion users

• > 950 million websites

• Thousands of autonomous networks connected

• 284 million domain names registered (>120 million .com, >100 million ccTLDs)

• Last 30 seconds > USD 1.2 million dollars spent on E-commerce

• No central control body (chaos?)• Initial focus was not on control but to create something that could grow

to a much larger scale

• Multi-stakeholder model (openness, collaboration and consensus-oriented decision-making)

• Governments, Businesses, Civil Society, Technical Community

• “Power” is gained by merits not hierarchy

• Effectiveness• How it has grown and how stable it is

A bit on cybersecurity

Definition of cyber security

• “Cyber security refers to preventative methods to protect information from being stolen, compromised or attacked in some other way”;

• For the purposes of this presentation, cyber security is defined as “anything that includes security problemsspecific to the Internet and their technical and non-technical solutions”;

• Not every crime that occurs on the Internet is covered by the term cyber security. A crime is a crime, and simply moving it to the Internet doesn’t make it special!

15

Cyber Security Themes

• Because the scope of cybersecurity is so broad, it is helpful to break it down into these categories

16

9

It’s All About Cooperation & Collaboration“Collaborative Security”

• Both cybersecurity problems specifically and other criminal activity carried out using the Internet are not going to be solved with technology alone!!

• Close cooperation and coordination by all stakeholders is key!!

• Governments;

• Businesses;

• Academia;

• Organizational and individual users;

• Law enforcement agencies;

• Policy makers worldwide.

17

The Internet of Things (IoT) “Definition”

“The term Internet of Things generally refers to scenarios where network connectivity and computing capability extends to objects, sensors and everyday items not normally considered computers, allowing these devices to generate, exchange and consume data with minimal human intervention.

There is, however, no single, universal definition!”

Why is it (IoT) important?• It’s happening now and promises to transform many aspects

of the way we work, live, and entertain!

• The Internet of Things is an emerging topic of technical, social, and economic significance.

• Some analysts predict that by 2025 there will be as many as 100 billion connected devices in the marketplace ($ 11 trillion global economy impact)

• The potential for explosive growth in IoT innovation is a testament to the open nature of the Internet’s architecture and design (no limits on the kinds of devices connected)

19

Why is it (IoT) important? -2nd-

• ISOC cares about IoT as it represents a growing aspect of how people and institutions are likely to interact with the Internet in their personal, social, and economic lives.

• An explosion of IoT applications could present a fundamental shift in how users engage with and are impacted by the Internet, raising new issues and different dimensions of existing challenges.
