WorldCIS-2013: Keynote speaker 2

Summary form only given. The deep-dark web is both surprising and sinister and accounts for in excess of 90% of the overall internet. Google and other search engines deal only with the indexed surface web. The deep-dark web hosts illegal markets, such as the Silk Road, malware emporiums, illegal pornography, and covert meeting places and messaging services. The pervasiveness of the Internet provides easy access to dark-web sites from anywhere in the world. The growth of the dark web has been paralleled by an increasing number of anonymity web-overlay services, such as Tor, which allow criminals, terrorists, hackers, paedophiles and the like to shop and communicate with impunity. Law enforcement and security agencies have had only very limited success in combating and containing this dark menace. The aim of this talk is to present a systems analysis view of the dark web in order to identify possible approaches to controlling illicit activity.
