Seriously? There are already at least 2 published standards that can be used with little concern over being cracked any time soon when used properly. Theres absolutely no indication that SMIME or PGP are broken when using the proper algorithm and key sizes.
I think the point is that encryption is useless against someone that can say, "give us the key or we'll dissappear you."
Yeah that Snowden guy - totally dead now don't you know? Bradley Manning? Also dead. They killed him last week I think. Wait, neither of those people, who are guilty of really serious breaches are dead? That's just them trying to lull you into a false sense of security!
No Snowden fled to the only other countries big enough to make the US back down China then when they looked like the would hand him over soon He ran to Russia. Manning they tortured for months and threw in solitary confinement until they broke him, sentenced him in a kangaroo court tribunal then coerced him into apologizing, and finally they tried a homo smear campaign on him to discredit him. Then there is Assange who they got their allies to trump up charges to smear his reputation and is hiding in a embassy unable to leave without the black helicopters, black suvs and men in black suits whisking him away to parts unknown to have his naughty bit electrocuted.
MAC addresses are invisible after the first router, unless you use IPv6 with insecure settings. So, no, they cannot be used without breaking into things.
Unless of course the NSA pressured router manufacturers to put a backdoor in the router but no they would never do that its not like they have been demanding encryption keys from all of the big names in the computer industry or backdooring skype and dropbox. Anyone ever find out what NSAkey in older windows was for? Anyone else starting to feel like building their own router is no longer paranoid?
The U.K. thinks it can join the fascism club just because it smashes a computer or two?
The U.S. arrested a filmmaker a year ago just for making a movie. Are those reporters in jail? Don't think so. You're going to have the step up the game U.K. to join the big boys.
Bonus points for all the cameras though.
those film makers did not have a 400 gigabyte insurance file on every torrent site in the world.
A publicity stunt. If WikiLeaks had the files, they would have gone public the next with as many as they could vet, and they wouldn't have been as responsible or through as the guardian. Also the timing on that is wrong, they posted that file ages ago.
Since when does two days ago equal ages? https://www.facebook.com/wikileaks/posts/561927090509074. Its not a publicity stunt it just what it says it is insurance against Assange Snowden Greenwald Poitras etc being killed or disappeared to gitmo. If the US tries anything the key gets released and the stuff they have kept back because it is to dangerous inflammatory get published to the world. Could it be a bluff yes, is it likely not a bluff if you read the even the docs that have been released have been voluntarily redacted by Greenwald and co. Its You screw us we screw you worse device.
the difference is that free BSD is a kernel a user land a bunch of programs and distribution it has vertical integration or cathedral style development. Linux on the other hand is just kernel that many people build stuff around remix and make a billion different distros that all collaborate. It is at the core a perfect example bazzar style development everyone doing there own thing but making it all work together.
Did anyone read David Miranda's rights before they arrested him?
this happened in england so no miranda rights they may have some other equivalent IANAL and most certainly not a British lawyer or soliciter or whatever they are called there.
Nah, they probably weren't using their brains either.
Never put down to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Law used to have public debate before being passed. Laws created behind closed doors then rushed through voting will always have bad side effects.
Except you always reverse that when it comes to government, then it is usually malice disguised as stupidity. If they didn't have to worry about reelection they wouldn't even bother with the disguise of stupidity.
did you look at the prism slides? guess whos logo is up there with ms, google, skype, and yahoo? dropbox. they have to listen to nation security letters and blanket fisa court orders just like everyone else.
it is bad. For example my grandmothers neighborhood is in an oval that is not inside the city limits even though on all sides it is part of the city limits this was a really problem because there was a meth lab down the street and it took monthes for the cops to do anything because the county sheriffs and the city police kept trying to make the other one do it. Boundries are very arcane.
It can get more arcane than that, in Washington they tried to tax candy differently then other food and we ended up with a odd weird system where a twix chocolate bar was not considard a candy bar but a hersheys bar was and taxed at a different rate fortunately we managed to get that tax repealed because it was so arcane and hard to know what was considered candy
Snowden told how we spy on other nations to get to terrorists. The other nation's Intel worlds AND leaders KNEW that we did this ( and the rest of 5i along with germany and france, spy on USA citizens). We used that information to stop multiple attacks in EU. Now, not only are we stopping helping Germany, France, etc, BUT they will also slow down Intel to the rest of the west. We just told AQ and Chinese spies to have at the west. that is treason by snowden. Manning also did the same.
Did they really? How do we know they stopped any attacks because all the evidence is classified? Also they have show a unrepentant willingness to lie to congress whenever they deem it convenient and they have even less regard for the American people at all, so how can we trust a single thing they say is true not some fabricated FUD story to keep the people frightened of the big bad terrorist and demand the big brother keep them safe? as for telling the Chinese you think that the Chinese those people that have been systemically probing out computer system did not already know how this was being done hell there have been report floating around for years saying they already have access to the D.O.D.'s SIPRNET which would give then access to all of this anyway. AQ could of been spied on just as effectively with legal means as well and if they were smart would already have been hiding their communication in darkent sites and using strong encryption that’s standard presager for hiding form the US gov. the only people that these leaks really affect is the American public which has had there eyes opened to what the government had been doing.
Just because they're legally required to block the content, doesn't mean they agree with the block or want to do it. On the contrary, it would be more in the ISP's interest to show that they're being legally pushed to block the content rather than the content just appearing not to work.
It's not the government in many of these cases that's doing the actual blocking, it's ISPs where the people that have to install the filters are your typical slashdotter.
Except when they receive a National Security Letter they are not allowed to tell and doing so can result in your life being ruined by the government.
Really what information did Snowden leak that wasn't show a invasion on our rights or showing abuse of power? while much of what he has leacked has not been released yet everything i have read should be known by the people. On the other hand Manning just leaked everything because he didn't know what all to leak and didn't know how to go through what he had.
So you are saying that we have law to punish people? That is screwed up. We have laws so that we can have a just and fair society. When the govenment is acting unjustly and breaking the law there is no consequences to them because they make it illegal to bring the information to the people and other branches of government so that something can be done. It is legitimate to break a unjust law, especially when the unjust law is created to protect those who would abuse their power. Therefor what Manning and now Snowden have done is beyond reproach.
I have no problem with the German government trying to spy on me. Why? Because the German government has no jurisdiction over me. German state security can't appear on my doorstep and arrest me, no matter how much Merkel or her minions may disapprove of me.
I do have a problem with the US government spying on me, because DHS and DEA can appear on my doorstep and make my life miserable if they don't like me or want to enrich themselves or find it useful for some other reason, circumventing the justice system and the rule of law.
Obama made restoring privacy and the rule of law a key point of his presidential bid, and it has turned out to be complete lies.
ever heard of interpol? guess who Obama gave free reign to do as they please?

Maybe it's time to grow up from the arbitrary divisions like left and right?
arbitrary except they are ideologically opposed in every way with the exception of destroying our rights and spying on our every move.

Boycott Netflix. They don't want the business, don't give them money. Send the message DRM is unacceptable.
How exactly is one to boycott those who choose to refuse your business in the first place?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck it isn't a duck unless it is branded a duck?
It's not a DUCK®, it's a Waterfowl That Attenuates Quacking Noises. For copyright reasons, of course.
I can only imagine what sorts of names Debian will come up for this.
arctic quacking goose would be my guess knowing their love of the ice themed branding ala ice dove, snow weasle...
Did anyone read David Miranda's rights before they arrested him?
this happened in england so no miranda rights they may have some other equivalent IANAL and most certainly not a British lawyer or soliciter or whatever they are called there.
But the Obama promised us that it would change. Your argument is invalid and you're a racist.
this happened in england, unless obama has started wareing a dress drinking tea and become an old queen you post is offtopic

lol! you think that 'employees' of spying and secret agencies EVER had personal freedom and privacy?
double lol.
its why I would never ever consider working for such a place.
you think anyone has personal freedom and privacy anymore?

he most certainly does not. those that committed the heinous acts that he reveled may deserve it but not him.
