Surveillance

Résumé

La surveillance est l'acte d’observer des activités (humaines en général) ou un lieu. Techniquement, on parle aussi de supervision ou de monitoring. Secrète ou évidente, elle est ancienne ; il y a , L'Art de la guerre de Sun Tzu, décrivait comment utiliser des espions contre des ennemis. Récemment, l’électronique moderne et la technologie informatique, conjointement au développement des satellites, de l'internet et du smartphone ont ouvert de nouveaux champs et moyens à la surveillance (individuelle ou de masse). La contre-surveillance est la pratique d’éviter la surveillance ou de la rendre difficile. Avec les développements récents – comme Internet, les systèmes de sécurité électroniques, les bases de données – la contre-surveillance s’est étendue en champ et complexité, dont pour protéger la vie privée. La sousveillance (ou « surveillance inversée ») est la pratique inverse, ou par exemple des citoyens photographient la police, des clients photographient des vendeurs. L'épidé

This thesis assesses the surveillance operated on the mobile phone network by governmental actors (intelligence agencies, police, army) and the relationship between monitored spaces and their users. Indeed, some new surveillance devices used by intelligence services redefine surveillance spatiality raising new questions in this field of research. More specifically this research focuses on one specific object: the IMSI catcher, a monitoring apparatus of the cellular network that intercepts cellphones' identity and some communications in a given area by mimicking the activity of a cell tower. While this kind of device seems to offer a tactical and a security interest in the fight against terrorism and against crime, many civil liberties organisations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Privacy International and _La Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertÃ©s are concerned about the potential of an uncontrolled surveillance ; indeed, the controversial nature of the device could endanger certain individual and public rights. What is this technical object and which new issues comes with its use in surveillance? How and from which perspective is it problematic What does the IMSI catcher teaches us on the potential future of surveillance regimes? I look into this specific device case in a research framework at the intersection of design research practices, science and technology studies (STS) and surveillance studies. First, I deal with this surveillance apparatus as a technical object, from a perspective fed by the theoretical framework of concretization and technical lines proposed by Gilbert Simondon and Yves Deforge, through the analysis of a visual and technical documentation. Second, I use a research by design approach to explore certain assumptions regarding the nature of the object itself, its functioning and its "concrete" aspect â or rather "non-concrete" in the present case â with the help of approaches borrowed to reverse engineering and reconstitution, close to media archeology. Then, I explore possible opposition and protest trajectories with the help of prototypes designed with critical design and speculative design methods. Finally, through the writing of prospective scenarios, I build a design fiction that offers a synthesis, potentially subject to debate, around the IMSI catcher's uses, present and to come, and more broadly on the potential future of surveillance regimes.

Impact of Mini-drone based Video Surveillance on Invasion of Privacy

Margherita Bonetto, Touradj Ebrahimi

An increase in adoption of video surveillance, affecting many aspects of daily lives, raises public concern about an intrusion into individual privacy. New sensing and surveillance technologies, such as mini-drones, threaten to eradicate boundaries of private space even more. Therefore, it is important to study the effect of mini-drones on privacy intrusion and to understand how existing protection privacy filters perform on a video captured by a mini-drone. To this end, we have built a publicly available video dataset of typical drone-based surveillance sequences in a car parking. Using the sequences from this dataset, we assessed five privacy protection filters at different strength levels via a crowdsourcing evaluation. We asked crowdsourcing workers several privacy- and surveillance-related questions to determine the tradeoff between intelligibility of the scene and privacy protection provided by the filters.

Privacy in Mini-drone Based Video Surveillance

Margherita Bonetto, Touradj Ebrahimi

Mini-drones are increasingly used in video surveillance. Their areal mobility and ability to carry video cameras provide new perspectives in visual surveillance which can impact privacy in ways that have not been considered in a typical surveillance scenario. To better understand and analyze them, we have created a publicly available video dataset of typical drone-based surveillance sequences in a car parking. Using the sequences from this dataset, we have assessed five privacy protection filters via a crowdsourcing evaluation. We asked crowdsourcing workers several privacy- and surveillance-related questions to determine the tradeoff between intelligibility of the scene and privacy, and we present conclusions of this evaluation in this paper.
