Lectures for students of the Institute of Economics and Law of Petrozavodsk State University

Lecture 1: “Internet Governance: What is it About and for Whom?”

Annotation: Few people today think about what the Internet is. For modern youth, it is perceived rather as a public service, many equate it with social networks and various services. From a technical standpoint, the simplest definition of the Internet is a network of networks. At the same time, the rapid development of digital technologies leads to the fact that we are increasingly dependent on the stable and secure operation of the network in various areas of our lives, from entertainment, education to banking services and government services.

In light of this, it is only natural to wonder who is in charge of ensuring the Internet runs correctly. The answer to it is not so simple, despite the abundance of myths, including about the “red button” in the hands of the United States. In addition to the need for technical coordination of the global network, there are also issues of regulating how we use the Internet and what new technologies we develop.

In the lecture, we will try to explain what is meant by “governance” of the Internet, as well as tell you why it is important to be aware of this topic and how you can find a new field of activity for yourself or look at your knowledge and work experience from a different angle.

Lecturer:
Ilona Stadnik, Assistant Professor, Department of American Studies, Faculty of International Relations, St. Petersburg State University

Lecture 2: “How to Protect and Defend Intellectual Property on the Internet”

Annotation: Almost every student is the creator and author of works. What intellectual property rights you have, what to do if they are violated and how not to infringe on someone else's intellectual property.

Lecturer:
Ekaterina Kalinicheva, partner, Head of the Practice for the Protection of Intellectual Property on the Internet, law firm Semenov & Pevzner

Lectures for students of the Physical-Technical Institute of PetrSU

Lecture 1: “The State and Development of the Russian Language on the Internet. Universal Acceptance of Cyrillic Domain Names and e-mail Addresses.”

Annotation: Questions about the support of national languages of users both for creating/consuming content and for Internet addressing arose with the development of the Internet and the connection to the global network of 2/3 of the world's population. The world's largest Cyrillic domain .РФ contributes to the preservation and development of the Russian language in the Global Web.

The Universal Acceptance of all domain names and e-mail addresses available today on the Internet, primarily with symbols of national alphabets, is one of the activities of various international and local stakeholders. At the lecture, we will consider how various stakeholder groups take part in solving one common task of developing the internationalization of the Internet address space, the pros and cons of this approach.

Lecturer:
Maria Kolesnikova, Chief Analyst, Coordination Center for TLD .RU/.РФ, Head of the Russian Working Group on Universal Acceptance

Lecture 2: "Technical Aspects of the Internationalization of Domain and Email Addressing: History and Practice"

Annotation: In the technical part, the lecture will focus on the latest advances in the integration of internationalized Internet identifiers, such as domain names and email addresses, into the multilingual ecosystem of the global network.

At the beginning of the lecture, a brief historical overview of the ways of information exchange and their development will be made, how the encodings changed from Morse code and Baudot code to Unicode. Then we will talk about the basic principles of the operation of domain and mail addressing, as well as the nuances of internationalization in it, supported by statistics on the implementation of internationalization both in Russia and in the world. A small digression into the current work of expert communities (such as IETF, Unicode Consortium, W3C, ICANN, etc.) will be made with a brief overview of the industry standards they have developed.

It will be told about the international project dedicated to internationalization, about the work of the Universal Acceptance Steering Group, as well as about the project of the Coordination Center Поддерживаю.рф. Then, an overview of software solutions and libraries will be made with which you can bring your infrastructure into a state of readiness to work with internationalized mail and domain names, and in the conclusion, information will be given on security aspects, in particular related to homoglyphic attacks, which will also talk about methods countering such attacks at various levels of professional communities.
