    Debating Tall Landscrapers vs. Skyscrapers What does the office of the future look like? The leading tech industry giants all seem to agree the main goal is “connectivity” that forges collaboration and ideation. But there are significant differences in how this manifests in the built environment. Recently, Facebook and Google have proposed or built “landscrapers” – large, elongated buildings, in both low- (Menlo Park, California) and high-density (London) cities. Others, such as Salesforce (San Francisco) and Tencent (Shenzhen) (see Case Study, page 12), have chosen skyscrapers. We asked, “Are ‘landscrapers’ a more plausible form of office building than skyscrapers for low- to mid-density cities?” YES density within a smaller geographic space?

These forces have shaped their worldviews, values, and behaviors. Digital natives’ ability to connect, convene, and create disruption via their keyboards and smartphones has had global impact. From #MeToo to Black Lives Matter, from convening marches on climate change to the Arab Spring, from demanding eco-friendly products to challenging stakeholder capitalism, these generations are compelling real change in society and business. The lockdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed millennials’ and Gen Zs’ activities but not their drive or their desire to be heard. In fact, the 2021 Deloitte Global Millennial Survey suggests that the pandemic, extreme climate events, and a charged sociopolitical atmosphere may have reinforced people’s passions and given them oxygen. 01 Urging accountability Last year’s report1 reflected the results of two Of course, that’s a generality—no group of people is surveys—one taken just before the pandemic and a homogeneous.

  • Section 2: Emerging Technologies and Military-Civil Fusion: Artificial Intelli
    SECTION 2: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND MILITARY-CIVIL FUSION: ARTIFICIAL INTELLI- GENCE, NEW MATERIALS, AND NEW ENERGY Key Findings • China’s government has implemented a whole-of-society strat- egy to attain leadership in artificial intelligence (AI), new and advanced materials, and new energy technologies (e.g., energy storage and nuclear power). It is prioritizing these areas be- cause they underpin advances in many other technologies and could lead to substantial scientific breakthroughs, economic dis- ruption, enduring economic benefits, and rapid changes in mili- tary capabilities and tactics. • The Chinese government’s military-civil fusion policy aims to spur innovation and economic growth through an array of pol- icies and other government-supported mechanisms, including venture capital (VC) funds, while leveraging the fruits of civil- ian innovation for China’s defense sector. The breadth and opac- ity of military-civil fusion increase the chances civilian academ- ic collaboration and business partnerships between the United States and China could aid China’s military development. • China’s robust manufacturing base and government support for translating research breakthroughs into applications allow it to commercialize new technologies more quickly than the Unit- ed States and at a fraction of the cost. These advantages may enable China to outpace the United States in commercializing discoveries initially made in U.S. labs and funded by U.S. insti- tutions for both mass market and military use. • Artificial intelligence: Chinese firms and research institutes are advancing uses of AI that could undermine U.S. economic lead- ership and provide an asymmetrical advantage in warfare. Chi- nese military strategists see AI as a breakout technology that could enable China to rapidly modernize its military, surpassing overall U.S.

  • Improving PKI Solution Analysis in Case of CA Compromisation
    Master Game and Media Technology Improving PKI Solution analysis in case of CA compromisation Samira Zaker Soltani January 2013 Utrecht University Faculty Computer Science Deloitte Nederland Deloitte Risk Services Supervisors: Gerard Tel - Univeristy Utrecht Henk Marsman - Deloitte Nederland To my mother, for she is the reason. Abstract Creating a secure connection on the Internet is made possible through the usage of certificates, binding an entity to its public key. These certificates can be issued by any of the Certificate Authorities (CA), where each CA has the same privileges. During the last year, we have seen many CA compromises, resulting into the issuance of fraudulent certificates. Fraudulent certificates can be used, in combination with the man-in-the-middle attack, to eavesdrop the communications of Internet users. This research focuses on solutions that can remove or limit the impact of a CA com- promisation and provides a description and analysis of each solution. The solutions have been chosen through interviews and literature. Among the discussed solutions are Public Key Pinning, Sovereign Keys, Certificate Transparency, Perspectives & Convergence, DANE, and MCS. In order to identify each solution’s advantages and disadvantages, we have created a metric of aspects. The aspects have been categorized into security, usability, and costs. The focus of this research has been on security, since that is the aspect in Public Key Infrastructure we are trying to solve. The results indicate that Certificate Transparency and DANE are the most promis- ing solutions for limiting the risks of a compromised CA. Further research will be needed to complete each solution, since both solutions are not yet ready for deploy- ment.
