Funding remains pending completion of award negotiations. ### Source excerpt Initial research projects advance national priorities across natural resources, manufacturing, nuclear physics, and more. ## TU Delft lecture: Security of Science DevFeed: [TU Delft lecture: Security of Science]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2025-12-01T10:35:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [national security](), [Security](), [data]() Tags: [national-security](), [research](), [security](), [space](), [technologies](), [university]() ### AI overview A transcript of a TU Delft lecture examining the relationship between universities, science, and national security. It argues that universities are structured to disseminate knowledge rather than keep military secrets, and suggests that defense innovation is better developed in associated but separate laboratories. ### Source excerpt This is a mostly verbatim transcript of my lecture at the TU Delft VvTP Physics symposium "Security of Science" held on the 20th of November. Audio version (scroll along the page to see the associated slides): Thank you so much for being here tonight. It's a great honor. I used to study here. I'm a dropout. I never finished my studies, so I feel like I graduate tonight. This is a somewhat special presentation, it has footnotes and references, which you can browse later if you like what you saw. ## On the new Dutch Intelligence and Security Law DevFeed: [On the new Dutch Intelligence and Security Law]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2024-03-12T12:41:07Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [Security](), [intelligence](), [Internet](), [Network]() Tags: [government](), [intelligence](), [internet](), [legal](), [national-security](), [network](), [peering](), [security]() ### AI overview The article discusses the newly passed Dutch Intelligence and Security Law, arguing that it reduces oversight while expanding intelligence agencies' authority. It describes expanded SIGINT powers over communications at Dutch internet exchanges, including private peering and private network interconnects, and the potential sharing of collected data with foreign intelligence agencies. ### Source excerpt 13th of June UPDATE: The Dutch government has failed to hire and house the promised new 10 oversight staff. Yet, the new law will be enacted July 1st, passing oversight to people that don't exist. I surely enjoyed living under the rule of law, but it appears it was a passing thing. "The Netherlands hosts some of the world's largest internet exchanges. This obliges us to make the best use of these exchanges for our national security. ## On my resignation as regulator of the Dutch intelligence and security services DevFeed: [On my resignation as regulator of the Dutch intelligence and security services]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2022-09-09T08:55:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [Security](), [like](), [interception](), [Hacking]() Tags: [authorization](), [hacking](), [intelligence](), [interception](), [national-security](), [security](), [technical]() ### AI overview A former member of the Dutch intelligence and security services oversight board explains his resignation. He says proposed changes would largely eliminate his technical risk-analysis role, reduce regulatory requirements for bulk interception, permit algorithmic analysis of bulk-intercepted data without external approval, and shift parts of oversight from prior authorization to ongoing or retrospective review. ### Source excerpt I've seen some mediocre automated translations of my Dutch language resignation statement go round. To prevent any confusion, please find the story here in English: Until today I was one of the three members of the board that checks warrants for the Dutch intelligence and security services. This board is called "Toetsingscommissie Inzet Bevoegdheden" or TIB. If either of the civil or the military intelligence and security services of The Netherlands want to use their lawful intercept, SIGINT or hacking (& some other) legal powers, they have to first convince their own jurists, then their ministry and finally the TIB. ## Useful Spy Books DevFeed: [Useful Spy Books]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2021-04-18T12:11:21Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [intelligence](), [national security](), [Security](), [trust]() Tags: [books](), [intelligence](), [national-security](), [opinion](), [reading]() ### AI overview An English-language reading guide recommending books about espionage and intelligence agencies. It discusses the value and limitations of insider accounts, official histories, fiction, and works subject to agency vetting, while encouraging broader and critical perspectives on secrecy, privacy, trust, and national security. ### Source excerpt Reading a good book is a great joy. And recommending a good book is almost as enjoyable. I've long been fascinated by books on espionage, and this contributed in no small part to me eventually joining the Dutch intelligence world, and later, rejoining it in some fashion. If you have favorite books that should be on this page, please let me know on bert@hubertnet.nl! I'm especially looking for books written from different perspectives. ## End to End Encryption: Talk for the European Internet Forum at the European Parliament DevFeed: [End to End Encryption: Talk for the European Internet Forum at the European Parliament]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2020-11-09T10:03:55Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Bert Hubert's writings]() Topics: [End-to-End Encryption](), [Encryption](), [Cryptography](), [Internet](), [Protocol (disambiguation)]() Tags: [encryption](), [europe](), [internet](), [national-security](), [open-source-software](), [privacy](), [talk](), [transcription](), [video]() ### AI overview A transcript of a talk at the European Internet Forum examines end-to-end encryption and argues that backdoored or deliberately weakened encryption has historically created lasting security problems. It also mentions a February 2024 European Court of Human Rights ruling concerning forced decryption by providers. ### Source excerpt Around a million years ago (it feels like) but actually 9 months ago I delivered a brief talk on end to end encryption for the European Internet Forum at the European Parliament. Update: in February 2024, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in rather strong words that forcing providers to break end to end encryption violates human rights.

It discusses concerns about Huawei equipment for 5G, including surveillance, service availability during conflict, and digital sovereignty. ### Source excerpt This article is part of a series on (European) innovation and capabilities. In a break from the usual GPS/Galileo, DNA and C++ posts, here is a bit on 5G and national security. It turns out that through PowerDNS and its parent company Open-Xchange, we know a lot about how large scale European communication service providers work - most of whom are our customers in some way. In addition, in a previous life I worked in national security and because of that I have relevant knowledge of how governments (your own and foreign ones) "interact" with telecommunication providers. ## Why Theoretical Computer Scientists Aren't Worried About Privacy DevFeed: [Why Theoretical Computer Scientists Aren't Worried About Privacy]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2013-06-10T09:51:27Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [Jeremy Kun]() Topics: [online privacy](), [Security](), [national security](), [Computer science](), [Google](), [backdoor](), [Statistics](), [Databases](), [Users]() Tags: [backdoor](), [computer-science](), [cryptography](), [databases](), [differential-privacy](), [google](), [homomorphic-encryption](), [national-security](), [politics](), [privacy](), [security](), [statistics](), [users]() ### AI overview This opinion article discusses public concern about government surveillance and privacy, arguing that privacy, convenience, and security can be maintained together technologically. It also distinguishes the author's personal privacy preferences from opposition to privacy violations as policy. ### Source excerpt There has been a lot of news recently on government surveillance of its citizens. The biggest two that have pervaded my news feeds are the protests in Turkey, which in particular have resulted in particular oppression of social media users, and the recent light on the US National Security Agency's widespread "backdoor" in industry databases at Google, Verizon, Facebook, and others. It appears that the facts are in flux, as some companies have denied their involvement in this program, but regardless of the truth the eye of the public has landed firmly on questions of privacy.
