Sunday, Feb 16th 7pm at c-level Los Angeles.
c-level is pleased to present a talk by Ian Clarke, the architect of Freenet, a peer to peer network designed for protecting all forms of speech from individual, government, or corporate suppression and control.
Freenet is a large-scale peer-to-peer network which pools the power of member computers around the world to create a massive virtual information store open to anyone to freely publish or view information of all kinds.
Freenet is: Highly survivable: All internal processes are completely anonymized and decentralized across the global network, making it virtually impossible for an attacker to destroy information or take control of the system. Private: Freenet makes it extremely difficult for anyone to spy on the information that you are viewing, publishing, or storing. Secure: Information stored in Freenet is protected by strong cryptography against malicious tampering or counterfeiting.
Efficient: Freenet dynamically replicates and relocates information in response to demand to provide efficient service and minimal bandwidth usage regardless of load.
---------------------------
Mr Clarke will speak about the development of Freenet, the current status of the project, and the wide ranging political and technical implications of its implementation.
Mr Clarke's lecture will be followed by an open meeting of the Los Angeles Art and Technology Hackers club. Bring your circuits!
