Hearing: Planning for the Future of Cyber Attack Attribution

“EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg testified [July 15, 2010]before the House Committee on Science and Technology regarding Planning for the Future of Cyber Attack Attribution. In his prepared statement, Mr. Rotenberg discussed “the risks and limitations of a mandatory Internet ID that may be favored by some as a way to address the risk of cyber attack.” He explained how such a proposal would implicate human rights and online freedom, and questioned the constitutionality of such a measure. EPIC recommended that efforts continue to focus on improving security standards, deploying encryption, and requiring federal agencies to remain transparent as they develop cyber security policies.”
