As usual we will be in the downstairs bar at The Phoenix, Cavendish Square, W1G 0PP The venue is ours from 17:30 until 23:00, talks start 19:30. The programme format this month is tweaked a little, the second half, after the main talk & break, will be short talks - we have 2 scheduled and maybe 1 or 2 more can be accommodated on the night. +++ 1st Speaker: Wendy Goucher Title: Optical Hacking Synopsis: Shoulder surfing is a good source of anecdotes. It seems everyone has seen some data they shouldn’t have at some point. These stories are entertaining but essentially harmless. This talk will use information gathered in the course of my PhD investigating the subject to reveal how shoulder surfing has, through the power of smartphone technology, evolved into a real threat to business. A casual observation in the executive airport lounge could be a social media enabled pile of embarrassment even before the unwary executive has stepped on their plane. All the elements to a storm of information leakage are there. Before you or your organisation are the victim of Optical Hacking discover the risk and start thinking about mitigation. +++ break +++ 2nd Speaker: Skyper Title: IETF 88 update Synopsis: November's IETF88 results on pervasive Internet surveillance, current and future trends on SSL/TLS, HTTPS, DNSSEC and opportunistic encryption and the need for hackers to attend the IETF meetings. +++ 3rd Speaker: Krunch Title: Don't mind the airgap Synopsis: On the feasibility of ultrasonic communication with commodity hardware in non-lab environment.
