| Project Byzantium | 2011-05-05 03:44 |
DATE: 14 May 2011 Project Byzantium is an effort at HacDC (http://hacdc.org/) to develop a rapidly deployable communication system using mesh networking by which users can share information in the absence of convenient access to the Internet. The project's use cases aim to help solve the Katrina Problem (a natural disaster knocks out large portions of the infrastructure) as well as the Egypt Problem (a hostile entity shuts off the infrastructure). Our design goals involve low cost, improvisability (ideally, a small group of people should be able to patch together a sizable Byzantium mesh using stuff they have laying around the house), Project page: http://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php/Byzantium Questions will be taken after the presentation. Speaker Bios: Ben "the Pyrate" Mendis is a Unix/Linux administrator, network administrator, and software developer. In his spare time he teaches an introductory class on Computer Science at HacDC. His interests include computer security, cryptography, and esoteric programming languages. He is very passionate about food, and has been trying to master the art of barbecue with his home-made smoker. Also enjoys killing (virtual) zombies and preparing for Z-day. |
