Public Policy Update: Clarifying the Federal Role in Ensuring Cybersecurity
by Danielle and G. Arthur Mihram, University of Southern California & Princeton University

Abstract :

Danielle and Arthur Mihram will review and update the literature of telecommunications policy, particularly the calls for a governmental role in 'cyber security'. They will indicate the procedure by which telecommunications can be securely transmitted, yet in a manner alleviating concerns about privacy. Their proposal for a 'National Electronic Postal Service' would not just fulfill Congress's constitutional duty to provide, in our Age of Tele-Communications, for electronic post-offices and electronic post-roads. An essential feature of this national electronic postal service would the issuing of secure electronic postmarks, which would provide a mechanism for copyright-protection.

Arthur Mihram is located in Princeton, NJ and has his biographical sketch appearing in the current edition of Marquis's Who's Who in America.
