The roundtable discusses the implications of a new class of network appliances capable of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). DPI intensifies the inspection and management of Internet communication. Governments and Internet Service Providers have begun installing these appliances on their networks to facilitate network security, government wiretapping, Internet censorship, and traffic shaping. This roundtable discusses the implications of DPI to privacy, security, surveillance, and control. Participants will have a chance to share their research interests and approaches to this emerging object of study. The event has been organized by the Infoscape Research Lab at Ryerson University [1], Privacy and Cyber Crime Institute at Ryerson University [2], and The New Transparency: Surveillance and Social Sorting at University of Toronto [3].
