Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) Kenji Saito, Graduate School of Business and Finance, Waseda University Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.1/53
be online only. When online, Camera ON is recommended, but not required You do need to speak often anyway (we are going to have a lot of dialogue) We will use breakout rooms a lot, but those won’t be recorded unless you do it yourselves (need to be allowed) Keep your Zoom client updated! We might use latest features The recordings could be used for research on (online) learning Transcribed for use and anonymized Will let you know when the necessity arises Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.2/53
and chat text will be posted at Moodle and Discord Trial automatic transcription for online lectures will be posted at Discord I’ve found that Zoom’s transcription feature is helpful, so I’ll try . . .

number to a character (encoding) (65 (0x41)) (97 (0x61)) (‘0x’ stands for hexadecimal) ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) / UTF-8 If you want to convert uppercase to lowercase, add 32 (0x20) to the letter Ex2 : Audio CD (sampling and quantization) ← Do you know what CD is? ;) Stereo 44.1kHz sampling and 16bit quantization (which is far below studio quality today) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.8/53
base Put everything in a USB flash drive, put everything on the web “Put anything on it” is the whole idea of USB (Universal Serial Bus) to begin with Do you know what bus is? Improvement of transmission quality → No degradation of information Degradation occurs during sampling and quantization, but does not occur after that Concealment or proof of communication → Encryption or digital signature Public key cryptography (we will have a chance to take a deeper look at it in later class) More efficient transmission → Packet communication, compression One single physical communication medium shared by multiple uses at the same time Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.9/53

exchanged Social / requirement aspect Network of networks Technological / functional aspect What’s communication? What’s network? Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.11/53
think they can Those who think they cannot Why? Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.12/53
as by speech, signals, writing, or behavior 2. Interpersonal rapport — “The American Heritage Dictionary” It’s undeniable that you feel that humans and dogs feel close to each other . . . Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.13/53
communicate with each other in any environment? We use signals under water The meaning is conveyed What can you change? What has to remain unchanged? What we call physical disability is merely a mismatch between physical conditions and the environment Digital technology often helps mitigate this mismatch Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.16/53
governing affairs of state or diplomatic occasions 2. the original draft of a diplomatic document, especially of the terms of a treaty agreed to in conference and signed by the parties 3. a formal or official record of scientific experimental observations 4. Computing a set of rules governing the exchange or transmission of data between devices — “Oxford Dictionary of English” Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.18/53
or things a complex system of railways, roads, or other routes: the railway network a group of people who exchange information and contacts for professional or social purposes: a support network . . . a number of interconnected computers, machines, or operations: a computer network . . . — “Oxford Dictionary of English” Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.21/53
line” is a network (hopefully someday this map will look familiar for everyone) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.22/53
performance or reliability requirements for lower layer networks No lower limit, and no upper limit ↑ Easy to enter, and does not hinder new development for improvements Does not guarantee packet delivery order Can cope with congestions and faults by changing the route TCP recovers from errors Resend packets and/or rearrange the order Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.26/53
Keio Univ. Two among the best private universities in Japan These two universities are known for their rivalry and matches in baseball and other sports known as “ ” (first characters of Waseda, Keio and match), although Keio students would often call it “ ” ;) For undergraduates, classes may have to be cancelled for students to go cheer on the baseball team Story The head of the Keio cheerleading squad sends a letter of challenge in the form of a traditional scroll to the head of Waseda’s cheerleading squad It is a very long scroll that has to be untied from Keio’s Mita campus, slipped into Mita Station on the Mita Line, and then slipped out from Waseda Station on the Tozai Line to reach the Waseda campus so that the head of Waseda’s cheerleading squad can read it This is a metaphor of stream communication over the Internet as we do it via Zoom at the class Two ways TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) . . . Don’t miss reading every word of it (e.g. browsing a web page) UDP (User Datagram Protocol) . . . Well, it’s a long scroll, and it’s okay if it’s missing parts (e.g. Zoom) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.28/53
way, inside the entrance of Mita Station, there is a photocopier, which copies just part of the scroll at a time, and students pass through the ticket gate with one fragment each in their hand Each fragment is sequentially numbered from the top of the scroll Students are not familiar with the railway network, and when they ask the station staff how to get to Waseda, they are told to go to Otemachi, so they do Students ask again at Otemachi Station (router), and are told to change to the Tozai Line When they arrive at Waseda Station, a student operates a scanner/printer before the exit, scanning the fragments in numerical order and outputting a long scroll on the printer, and students pull it to the Waseda campus Now, some students may get lost on the way What would you do? Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.29/53
TCP Students pick up their receipts (with fragment #) at Waseda Station and take them back to Mita Station (a receipt is called ACK) At Mita Station, if a receipt is not returned, it is assumed that the fragment was not delivered, and another student is sent out with the fragment To streamline transfers, they can determine how many fragments can be sent before receiving a receipt UDP Why do we care if some students get lost? (They are grown up, and we are certain that they will make it to their home) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.30/53
just another application of IP (with layer 4 by UDP (User Datagram Protocol) or TCP) Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.31/53
communication technology It doesn’t matter whether packets go through the satellites or the ground It could also use a homing pigeon ;) RFC 1149 (A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers) * An RFC (Request For Comments) is a publication often of Internet Standards (or jokes, or both) If there is a good communication technology, we use it IP over Everything Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.33/53

were to change (it is; IPv4 → IPv6), it would take time Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.36/53
can write IP? How fast can a router get? If it is not simple, it won’t work If it is not simple, it will be slow It is really important to make it simple and easy Smarter design, such as variable-length address instead of fixed-length, would have slowed down development of the Internet if it were chosen IPv4 uses fixed 32-bit IP addresses 10 bit can express approximately 1,000 numbers So, 32 bit can express approximately 1,000×1,000×1,000×4 = 4 billion numbers IPv6 uses fixed 128-bit IP addresses 128 bit can express approximately 1,000×1,000×1,000×1,000 .. . Approximately 256 . . . actually, 340 ×1036 numbers Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.37/53

Internet is at a crossroads It means whether the main character is a person, a different unit, a circle of friends, an organization or a country It is important to be able to define it freely Basically, each and every one of us must be able to have a presence on the Internet, and we must ensure that each of us is the main character of communication on the Earth This is very important — Jun Murai 1999-07-07 From “DOCUMENT LIFE a ryuichi sakamoto opera 1999” Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.44/53
architecture . . . It is the basis for distributing digital information through transparent channels and providing a commons environment The key to Internet architecture is to provide alternatives On the communication side, multiple media can be used freely — Robert Elliot Kahn, 2004-11 (translated back from Japanese) In a private conversation with Prof. Hiroshi Esaki of the University of Tokyo (from his book “Cyber-First”) Commons = resources accessible to all members of a society Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.45/53

a post office, so to speak Electric Vehicles (EV) ← not exactly electronic, but . . . Everyone can build a car e-publishing (e.g. Kindle by Amazon) Everyone can be a publisher ← rather, WWW has done it e-money (e.g. Suica by JR East, xxPay, etc.) Everyone can be a bank ← rather, digital currency is doing it e-government Everyone can be or do what? Lecture 4 : Internet Technology and Governance (2) — FinTech — Financial Innovation and the Internet 2022 Fall — 2022-10-21 – p.49/53
of turning monopoly into commons in some financial areas?
