  • The Case for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Trump
    Updated Preface: The Ukraine Connection The Case for an Impeachment Inquiry of President Trump Acknowledgments This report is made possible by the 1.2 million supporters of Common Cause who believe in setting higher ethical standards for public servants and who hold power accountable to the people, regardless of political party. Thanks also to the Why Not Initiative for its support for this report and our annual Blueprint for a Greater Democracy conference. This report was written by Karen Hobert Flynn, Paul Seamus Ryan, and Common Cause Legal Fellow William Steiner. The authors wish to acknowledge Susannah Goodman and Yosef Getachew for their review and input. Thank you to Scott Blaine Swenson, Dale Eisman, and Kerstin Vogdes Diehn for their support in production & promotion, copy editing, and design. This report was originally published in July 2019. A new preface was added to the report in October 2019. © July 2019; © October 2019 New Preface—October 2019 WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT AND THE LAUNCH OF AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY On a July 25th, 2019 phone call—one day after Common Cause originally published this report— President Donald Trump repeatedly pressured Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky to work with Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. Shortly before the phone call, President Trump had ordered the withholding of nearly $400 million in military aid for Ukraine.1 By involving Attorney General Barr in his request for election assistance from the head of a foreign nation, perhaps using a foreign aid package as leverage, President Trump involved the Justice De- partment, State Department and Pentagon in an apparent effort to abuse his public office for private gain, an impeachable offense.

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.

  • 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.
