2.  Thursday Tech Talk Speaker Series!

	Date: Thursday, March 30th
	Time: 12:00 - 12:45
	Room: Zurich E/F, Swissotel
	(Note: Lunch will NOT be provided)

	Speaker: John Mattsson, Senior Specialist at Ericsson Security Research

	Topic: The Real Deal on Cellular Security

	Topic Description: 
	This talk will describe how cellular security has evolved in earlier
	generations as well as the industry's vision for security and privacy
	in 5G. 2G systems were among the first global mass-market products
	using cryptography in a time when only secret algorithms could be
	used. Much has happened since, and all algorithms and protocols are
	now public. The goal of the talk is to dispel myths, describe the
	current situation in 4G, and how 5G will improve security and privacy
	while at the same time increase flexibility and enable IoT use cases.

	Speaker Biography: 
	John Mattsson is a Senior Specialist at Ericsson Security Research
	with a focus on Security Protocols, Cryptography, and IoT. John has
	been active in 3GPP and the IETF on a large number of topics and is
	now coordinating Ericsson's security related activities in the
	IETF. He holds a M.Sc. in Engineering Physics from KTH (Royal
	Institute of Technology, Sweden) and a M.Sc. in Business
	Administration and Economics from Stockholm University.
