    I work for that company, and I work for other companies and institutions also.

    I am still today a research scholar at Berkeley University, and my main target has to do with helping to build a better world. I am a little bit philantropic for that respect.

    That does not change at all neither my point of view, neither the point I have been making. Thank you very much for reading my post in any case. I was starting to thing that I was speaking to empty spaces as nobody seam to send me any resposnd. I am new to this environment you know..

    I do not know if Amteus will bring that, I know it will not only be Amteus, it will be the industry... Hopefuly... is from all these forums we start to press for it.

    I am very sincere in what I am saying. I will put you an example. As I have been surfing the web from one place to another I have been leaving my address and email and URL in many web sites, registerd in many places etc... shortly after I received a few emails that I am posting in my site for your info (eBay Pay Pal)

    Dangerous staff that unless you are aware will harm you. Amteus has its own proposition in which I believe as if it was not the case I would not work for them. But there are many others.

    I am collecting my posts in my web site also if you want to read them all, but as I am starting with this one don't bother for now and wait a while and see what I am trying to say.

    In any case thanks for your reply that I really appreciate.

    We are in the times in which the people have to protect each other. And we all are the people, and the ones that are against the people are the powerful that will not take into consideration peoples rights.

    What NSA is doing is an abuse, but the people that communicate through the internet are very vulnerable to abuse, not only by the governments, but also by mafias and groups of a diversity of allied criminals, some of them acting with white gloves.

    Internet is today the field for criminal activities. In the last few days I have been receiving an enormous amount of emails which were fake from ebay, pay pal, the Netherlands Lotto etc... trying to get from me my password to this accounts. And some of them looked so good that could be mistaken by the real thing, but users of the internet that engage in criminal activities disguise themselves in anonymity that internet provides.

    Our communications throuh the internet are surveiled since time immemorial by NSA, and a wealth of information about us can be collected and may be collected. And this is a great danger to the people, and no law protects us these days.

    What about an internet between authenticated and identified users... so that the majority of internet users that don't mind to be identified because they live in a free country and at the same time, not being engaged in fraudulent activity or criminal activity don't mind to inter-communicate with other identified and authenticated members of the net. Why should anyone want to be anonymous if not engaged in criminal activity?

    This is my point. We should suport the institutions, companies and private people that support the target to bring privacy and security within identified users when using the internet to communicate This is the case of a company called Amteus.

    Now, once in communication with an identified user, which is properly authenticated, then you provide privacy, so... unless you want to make it public, nobody can access your communication because it is properly secured and encrypted. i.e. it travels in a closed envelope and it is unlawful to open it, and it is being between identified and authenticated users that trust each other. Otherwise, not only the governments with their NSAs involved in their own practices will snoop on us, but gangs of gangsters will easily intercept our communications, phishing like the email I have received will only be the beginning. I am starting a website to support this kind of approach.

    This requires legislation, but also requires technology. Like the one developed by Amteus. But there are many other.

    I hope that the people with vision that have given to the internet a view that will promote freedom and cleanliness, like John Perry Barlow will help this company to succeed in a very honorable project.

    It is very distressing these days what is going on with the Internet. Hopefully companies like Amteus Plc that are bringing a technology to overcome this problem of snooping, spam, phishing etc.. will survive attacks from those that hide behind anonimity.
