About this episode
Unrest, riots and pandemics are a springboard to greater erosion of privacy rights. Corey Petty joins this episode of the End of the Chain to talk about the war on encryption and what Status is doing to fight it.
Dr. Corey Petty is the Chief Security Officer of Status and started his blockchain focused research around 2012 as a personal hobby while doing his PhD candidacy at Texas Tech University in Computational Chemical Physics. He then went on to co-found The Bitcoin Podcast Network and still serves as a host on the flagship The Bitcoin Podcast and a more technical show Hashing It Out. Corey left academia and entered the data science/blockchain security industry for a few years attempting to fix vulnerabilities in ICS/SCADA networks before finding his fit as the head of security at Status.im where he remains today.

What to listen for
- How the current unrest in America is the perfect excuse to clamp down on freedom and privacy in the name of security.
- Why further thinking does not happen in response to solving a problem right now, and this results in people using rules in unforeseen ways.
- How the EARN IT Act could result in a backdoor into message encryption and increase the amount of surveillance longer term.
- Why Status’ position is that Web 3.0 should not reduce privacy and security in the name of government control.
- Why Status believes that the underlying protocol, the network of messages, must always remain unconstrained and unreadable, even if you were able to see inside the infrastructure they built.
- How technology has let the cat out of the bag and why giving up your privacy in the name of security or convenience should not be our future.
- Why the recent gas price spikes are the lesson of crypto-kitties that Ethereum did not learn and why these conversations about on-chain business and business logic need to happen now.
- Why Layer 2 solutions create “walled gardens” off-chain but give end-users choices to opt-out and to choose the level of security that they need.
- Why gaming on the blockchain is testing creative technological innovation and different types of economic situations before applying them to real-world enterprises.
- Why for Corey thinks blockchains and smart contracts are the first time we have been able to ‘play’ with actual economics and see the relationships between value and exchange.
