UK Cryptographers Call For UK and US To Out Weakened Products
Trailrunner7 writes "A group of cryptographers in the UK has published a letter that calls on authorities in that country and the United States to conduct an investigation to determine which security products, protocols and standards have been deliberately weakened by the countries' intelligence services. The letter, signed by a number of researchers from the University of Bristol and other universities, said that the NSA and British GCHQ 'have been acting against the interests of the public that they are meant to serve.' The appeal comes a couple of weeks after leaked documents from the NSA and its UK counterpart, Government Communications Headquarters, showed that the two agencies have been collaborating on projects that give them the ability to subvert encryption protocols and also have been working with unnamed security vendors to insert backdoors into hardware and software products."
Dream on Jock. An independent Scotland would be far too busy trying to work out how walk on its own to think about anything complicated. Constitution? You accept that you will have to leave Europe then and the constitution that applies in the UK (that you will no longer be a part of). The big question is who will you blame all your mistakes on when you no longer have England? You might have to start taking responsibility for yourselves and standing on your own instead of acting like spoilt schoolgirls all the time. Remember that it was Scotland that created this... but you guys still act like the victims and try to convince the world that it is England's fault that after taking over England your King decided that he preferred it there and stayed.
