Protecting IM From Big Brother
holden writes "Ian Goldberg, leading security researcher, professor at the University of Waterloo, and co-creator of the Off-the-Record Messaging (OTR) protocol recently gave a talk on protecting your IM conversations. He discusses OTR and its importance in today's world of warrant-less wire tapping. OTR users benefit from being able to have truly private conversations over IM by using encryption to obtain authentication, deniability, and perfect forward secrecy, while working within their existing IM infrastructure. With the recent NSA wiretapping activities and increasing Big Brother presence, security and OTR are increasingly important. An avi of the talk is available by http as well as by bittorrent and a bunch of other formats."
Honey, is that you? We are out of milk, please pick some up on the way home.

Well, the idea of encrypting RAM would be obvious to the person skilled in the state of the art, and therefore on its face not patentable. However, there are invariable many novel ways to solve obvious problems that would be patentable. Whether or not I could obtain a patent on the method and apparatus would depend upon the novelty of said method and apparatus.
I find it fitting that someone named Goldberg is warning us about Big Brother.
It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
what a fucking zionist jew. Don't trust it and use it. Chances are he is working under the U.S. ZIonist occupied goverment.
