We hope you can tune in for an IE Radio interview today with a true industry innovator, Jeff Jonas, chief scientist at IBM. We're talking to Jonas today at 3:00 p.m. ET. Do. Not. Miss. It.
As chief scientist of IBM Entity Analytics, Jonas is responsible for shaping technical strategy for next-generation identity analytics. We'll talk to Jonas about data analytics and its importance to national security and the enterprise, the implications of information overload, and what the increasing role of mobility and wireless in computing means for the future of consumer privacy.
Of course, this wouldn't be IE Radio -- the greatest radio show on Earth -- without participation from all of you. Simply make sure you're registered and logged in prior to show time, and join us on the live, youChat message board where you'll be able to chat with IE editors and fellow listeners, and submit questions and comments for Jonas. We'll ask as many as we can on air, and once the interview is over, Jonas will join us on the board to talk directly with you.
This is a great opportunity to hear from and chat with a true industry leader. Don't miss out. Join us at 3:00 p.m. ET today: Jeff Jonas, Chief Scientist, IBM.
I will not be around for this interview but would certainly like to hear Jeff talked about his technique of "Anonymous Resolution". Here is how he explained it:
" Jonas is also somewhat unique as a technologist in that he frequently engages with those in the privacy and civil liberties community. The essential question: How can government protect its citizens while preventing the erosion of long-held freedoms like the Fourth Amendment? With privacy in mind, Jonas invented software which enables organizations to discover records of common interest (e.g., identities) without the transfer of any privacy-invading content. This cryptographic-based technique known as "Anonymous Resolution" delivers extraordinary new levels of privacy protection in areas of critical interest like clinical health care research, bio-surveillance, aviation safety, homeland security, fraud detection and identity theft".
Could Anonymous Resolution be the panacea in protecting our online identities?
Jeff Jonas is working on technology to allow the analysis of subscriber/user information from social sites, for instance, without disclosing personal data.
Somehow the technique shields your identity while allowing analytics software to cull the key information.

The Internet is making us stupid. No wait, the Internet is making us smart. Multi-tasking helps us consume more information... orrrr it reduces the amount of knowledge we can retain.
The Web has become the preferred spot for documenting personal flaws. With every online confession, Web users are crafting their detailed autobiographies and setting them free for the public's consuming pleasure.

The city of San Francisco is on the leading edge of using the Internet to provide government transparency. It is providing WiFi for its have-nots, and its DataSF.org initiative is putting the city's valuable data back in the hands of its citizens, with innovative results.
What can users today do to protect their online privacy? The simplest and most obvious option is to not use the Internet – at all. However, once all digital information is consolidated over the Internet, trying to protect digital identity by simply unplugging from the Internet becomes impossible – a fact that has manifest implications for civil liberties, Saunders says.
By 2011 the number of Internet-connected sensors will exceed 1 trillion, making your chances of doing anything or going anywhere unnoticed pretty much zero. Saunders talks about how the 'sensortization' of the Internet is eliminating the traditional divide between online and offline populations.
The 20th Century Internet was characterized by the ability to interact with other people and information on the Internet largely without anyone knowing who you were. The Internet of this century, conversely, will be defined by identity. Saunders explains how Internet users are unwittingly contributing to the demise of the anonymous Internet.
More companies are trolling social networks to find and vet potential job candidates. Beware the pitfalls of blurring the line between personal and professional lives.
Now that we are past the initial user exuberance with the Internet, Web-based applications, and mobile devices, IT is entering a new phase of integrating business processes and rules with the Web. This is hard work, and keeping business users engaged in the process is no small task.
There's a public-policy war on copyright that nobody is winning, and inconsistencies in viewpoint and interpretation seem to be multiplying. We need to step back and think our policies over again, or we risk having a strategy that fails everyone.
