Open Collaboration in an Age of Distrust
We are manifestly in a new era of international relations—"An Age of Distrust"—where the trend toward increased trade and integration has stalled, if not reversed.DEPARTMENT: Cerf's up
A People-Centered Economy
Innovation for Jobs (i4j.info) recently published a book describing a new, people-centered view of work. Rather than organizing work around tasks, the idea is to organize work around people and their skills.DEPARTMENT: Departments
Are We Having An Ethical Crisis in Computing?
The computing field seems to be going through another image crisis these days. Many view this as an ethical crisis. I am dubious of the diagnosis.DEPARTMENT: BLOG@CACM

Technical Perspective: Photorealistic Facial Digitization and Manipulation
If facial performance capture is possible for conventional RGB videos in real time, then believable facial expressions can be transferred effortlessly from one person to another in a live-action scenario. This capability is demonstrated …Face2Face: Real-Time Face Capture and Reenactment of RGB Videos
Face2Face is an approach for real-time facial reenactment of a monocular target video sequence (e.g., Youtube video). Our goal is to animate the facial expressions of the target video by a source actor and re-render the manipulated …Technical Perspective: Attacking Cryptographic Key Exchange with Precomputation
"Imperfect Forward Secrecy: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice," by David Adrian et al., illustrates the importance of taking preprocessing attacks into account when choosing cryptographic parameters.Imperfect Forward Secrecy: How Diffie-Hellman Fails in Practice
We investigate the security of Diffie-Hellman key exchange as used in popular Internet protocols and find it to be less secure than widely believed.COLUMN: Last byte
