Bruce Schneier, Fellow and Lecturer
Harvard Kennedy School and the Munk School, University of Toronto
In computer security, the CIA Triad represented the three security properties systems should have: confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Of the three, integrity has been the most elusive; and, in an AI-powered internet-of-things world, the most important. This talk explores all the facets of integrity: data, processing, storage, and contextual. Web 1.0 was all about availability; Web 2.0 about privacy. If we are ever going to build the distributed, decentralized, intelligent web of tomorrow — and trust these systems to take complex actions on our behalf — we are going to need to solve integrity.
