They have encrypted the private key with the user's passphrase. In order to replace the user's key-pair you must know the hash of the user's passphrase. A dictionary attck might work if the user has a weak paspshrase, otherwise this is reasonably secure.
We did this 3 years ago at a company called CryptAll to provide an S/MIME-compliant java applet service.
Isn't law great. A overly-broad, poorly thought out law get to cover something completely different. It could be a techie Monty Pyton sketch.
I especially liked the non-persistence in RAM. Does that mean I have to erase each word in memory before storing the next one? It's a cool idea. Every computer in the world needs only 1 word of memory. The judge is a genius.
I can only hope that most of the media companies who supported and pushed for DMCA use StorageTek kit.
I hadn't heard that before; what a good idea. But that's affecting the investor and it's difficult for CEOs/top-management to avail of short-term price fluctuations without getting stuck in the insider-trading briar patch.
Make CEOs/top-management focus on long-term objectives as well as quarterly numbers. It's not difficult; just pay them that way. For example pay a CEO:
- a salary (pretty-large)
- stock options (should not vest if CEO fired)
- a bonus based on percentage stock price increase from now every year for next 5 years. Note that this means that in 5-years the CEO is still getting paid for work they do this year.
