You don't have to use a certificate authority with thunderbird. Any openPGP compatible software allows you to use a "web-of-trust" type model. no centralized authority.
google "baseband exploit"
http://vimeo.com/25806106
Also, there is something called STK or simtoolkit ( a gsm standard protocol). Big business like banks can make deals with carriers to run apps securely with the sim card. It isn't used so much in the usa but the capability is there. The way the sim card gets programmed via specially formatted sms with the proper keys etc.
agree. I've often wondered how it is the nice people who put out "secure" apps and recommend them to dissidents, journalists, etc in oppressive regimes have never heard of baseband (radio) exploits. Also, apps can be run in the sim. The sim and baseband can be updated/programmed remotely. One doesn't know what's going on inside the sim or baseband.
Too many high school students get no theorems or proofs and memorize algorithms and have no idea what they mean. I corresponded with an online math prof recently while looking for some extra course work for my son and in part of his email he said: "We don't memorize too many equations in my class - we derive them". Maybe that approach isn't for everyone but I think it's better than the most.
Agree. You need a little of each of those things. Regarding bad teachers I thought the book by Liping Ma was interesting. A review: http://beta.metastudio.org/objects/2013/02/22/book-review-knowing-and-teaching-elementary-mathematics-liping-ma/
Seems chinese teachers with less education than their USA counterparts understand math far better. From the book:
"The situation of the two teacher is that the U.S. teachers have a shallow understanding of a large number of mathematical structures including the advanced ones, but the Chinese teachers have a deeper understanding of the elementary concepts involved in mathematics."
I recently came across an interesting app/middleware platform in the google play store for android called musubi group chat. It uses a type of encryption called "Identity based encryption" (first theorized by shamir of rsa fame). It is dead simple to use with all the key management being done without user intervention. In order to send someone an encrypted message you only need their email address (you generate the public key for them). You do need a trusted 3rd party involved but I think that drawback can be overcome. Anyway, if you have android give it a try as I think it is impressive and I'd like to see more apps use this.
located in sweden. easy to use. works with linux , mac, win, android and iphone. I have not had problems with the service on win : http://mullvad.net/en/
Agree. I don't know why people trust this non-source code releasing security researcher. Could be a social experiment to see how many idiots can be duped into installing this particular brand of spyware voluntarily.
Question: given that you can't really prove the security of any encryption algorithm, why isn't enciphering data with multiple algorithms and independent keys more common? Is it too difficult to do or perhaps too slow and impractical?
My sentiments exactly. I might be able to get excited about the technology if e-ink displays were about 10x faster and the content cheaper and belonged to me. Otherwise a physical book is far better value for the reasons you've stated assuming you have easy access to the book etc etc
wyatt I have some questions if you don't mind:
1) What are the benefits you've experienced with this treatment? Both physical and mental (if any).
2) I'm assuming you're doing it under a doctor's care. How is it administered? How often?
3) Do you pay out of pocket for it? If so, how \expensive is it? I'm wondering if insurance covers this type of thing.
Thanks.
Right. But I'm assuming that if you hosted at an ISP that you might avoid a visit to your personal residence by the authorities. I'm probably wrong though and some over zealous jackasses will still come and kick your door down.
And why not just host the node at a hosting service and not on your personal machine. I recall reading that it's best to set it up that way but I'm not sure where I read it - perhaps the TOR site. The TOR site has a list of "tor friendly" ISP's.

Docker reminds me of Qubes in some ways. https://qubes-os.org/
How did you determine that Tor is "only marginally more popular than I2P"? Just curious.
Several other phones seem to follow this design.
I'm interested to know the other phones that also follow this design. Thanks.
Sandy bridge processors have those cool cell phones built right in. But that kill switch will only be used in the event that your wonderful computer is stolen :D

If you can own the baseband you can own it all: http://vimeo.com/25806106

Oh they'll buy it. These are the same people that elected obama, bush, etc etc
Lots of software installed via Play wont like that and refuse to run.

my understanding is that connections to and from entry and exit nodes are unencrypted . only connections between relays are encrypted.

root phone and install LBE privacy guard. Works well it seems. http://lifehacker.com/5807797/lbe-privacy-guard-monitors-and-controls-what-permissions-your-android-apps-have
we should all be a little more angry about a lot of things.

Just get a book about Mexico. It's cheaper than going there just to read :D
