Description: Open Participatory Security
Open Participatory Security
Worldcat Site
Open Participatory Security is a necessary book. It is part of a new body of literature that fixes a key problem in cybersecurity thinking by reintroducing society and human conflict to a topic often reduced to the artifacts of the threat and the fear they produce, forgetting the sociotechnical nature of the internet and the way internet technologies make the world a better place. Anybody who cares about our internet culture, including but not limited to cybersecurity, will benefit from understanding what an open participatory security model will do for our internet enabled civilization.

Author’s Note and Acknowledgements
Open Participatory Security
Within academia it is important that one’s work be original, and of course, if we claim authorship, that the work be our own. Here, I claim both, yet herein is a contradiction. This work was too original for me to do on my own. This may seem like I am humble-bragging about my own novelty, but it expresses a genuine concern I had: that my originality would make me an unheard voice in...

Chapter One - The Foundations of Open Participatory Security
Open Participatory Security
Security is a dense and often depressing topic, so let us begin – as is appropriate for a book within which the Internet plays such a central role – by promising a story that ends with cats. After a particularly tragic month in November 2015, following the terrorist attack in Paris, which left 130 dead and many more injured, the hunt was on for suspects. When the investigation narrowed...

    Chapter Two - The Historical Evolution of Security, Technology, and Participation
    Open Participatory Security
    Revolutionary and Napoleonic France and its mass armies already have made a couple of appearances in our introduction. Yet if we jump ahead just a little more than a century to a country westward, to Bletchley Park, the heart of the UK’s cryptography efforts against the Nazis, we find “demure girls, obediently shuffling reams of gibberish through their...

    Chapter Three - The Gap between the Contemporary Strategic Context and Security System
    Open Participatory Security
    Before turning to the present, let us continue briefly with history, returning to a couple of our favourite examples from the last chapters. Since especially the time of Frederick the Great (reign 1740–1786) Prussia had been a rising military power in continental Europe. Following his death, the military reforms he implemented became institutionalized, even idolized: scripture handed down...

    Chapter Four - Openness and Open Government
    Open Participatory Security
    When many people think of Estonia, the first thing to come to their mind may be something like “Where is that?” Yet this well-educated Baltic republic of 1.3 million, the birthplace of Skype and Playtech as well as numerous niche tech start-ups, is at the forefront of applying technology to enhance state capabilities and improve state-society relations, to create what Estonian...

    Chapter Five - Filling the Security Gap
    Open Participatory Security
    Narva is a small city of some 60,000 plus souls on the far eastern border of Estonia, a country we saw in the last chapter. Yet despite the city’s small size in a likewise small country it has become known as the city that could end NATO, just as it once (in 1700) saw a battle which nearly broke the power of the most famous Russian czar.1 With a population mainly of...

    Chapter Six - Closing the Insecurity Gap
    Open Participatory Security
    Objective security can make us feel safe, but it does not necessarily do so. Snipers on every roof, pervasive surveillance, walls on our borders, and sensors at every point of failure may provide near-perfect security, but the citizen enduring this world would likely not feel safe and may even experience more anxiety and fear. If the only way to protect ourselves is to turn our countries into...

    Chapter Seven - Towards a Perpetual-Beta Open Participatory Security
    Open Participatory Security
    This book opened by presenting the era in which we live as one in which technology shapes our security and insecurity. Embedded in our everyday technological existence we see a world of technological threats, seemingly capable of being countered only by technological solutions. Balancing the blessings and curses of modern technology is perhaps the defining task of our age. Technology is at times...
