![]() * Sorry, I shouldn’t joke about these serious issues. I gotta go watch the Bruce Jenner interview…. ‘There’ can come upon us quite suddenly, then it’ll be too late. That’s the road we’re on, but its a foggy one. This doesn’t mean that all Listees are going to be locked up**. Isn’t that wonderful? So, avoid these things, and you’ll be safe*. You can get on The List by ‘lurking’ on certain sites. Anyone who engages in, or promotes, protest movements of any kind.Ħ. Anyone who criticises the corporatocracy.ĥ. Anyone who discusses hacking, computer security, and the Intelligence Community.Ĥ. Here in the US, they are, but not limited to:Ģ. Certain categories are more interesting to them. Let’s hope some really smart guys are working on it.Īp11:00 govt’s are interested in ALL their Citizens. The only known antidote for electronic mass surveillance at the moment is mass encryption. Publicly crucifying select individuals has a great deterrent effect on the peasantry.įrankly, I view your post as rather naive and Pollyanna. It’s strictly on a case by case basis now. Governments have unlimited time, power and resources to take out anyone. But, the government didn’t need to drag him off to Siberia ….the word of his misdeed spread like fire throughout the whole world…”we are watching and we will mess with you!” Is there any researcher or anyone else in the world who did not get the message?Īs for locking up researchers or anyone else….if they see it’s necessary they will do it. Roberts was a fool looking to get slapped…and he did. Always has, and that’s why the powers that be want it and won’t let it go,…easily. Why do you think we are undergoing a worldwide transition toward electronic mass surveillance in the image of NSA Collect-it-ALL? (Laws and Rights be damned.) The hell they don’t have an interest in you, and me and everyone! If the government were to lock up every security researcher there would be no space left in prison.Īs long as you study the law and ethics and…” Re: “The government do not have an interest in you. I wonder if the madness of curtailing and controlling public access to proper COTS data security mechanisms could extend to preventing teaching and displaying of data security and cryptographic knowledges and restricting free speech. That means you could effectively forge protected features in identification system and that can be a huge headache. The act of weakening these security systems would break the security two folds. Not to forget, a ton of US Govt security systems uses COTS cryptographic products like smartcards and TPM modules for Govt Systems and these systems are dual purpose products that are applicable to critical public sectors and Govt sectors. Not to mention, a lot of COTS security systems uses open source and closed source software that if sabotaged, could pose a huge national threat in itself and the US Govt uses COTS systems regularly and if the backdoors, frontdoors and golden keys are in these COTS system, their enemies could figure that out as well. I wonder if thought was put into accessing the impact of sabotaging data security mechanisms in school and in the field. You can imagine these nation sponsored hackers having an easy way into critical infrastructures due to deliberate weaknesses in the data security mechanisms. If the Chinese, North Koreans, Israelis, Russians, French, Germans, Iranians … and other national security agencies would be given a gift, the gift is the direct downfall of US data security sector so these Nations and their agencies and many others would have a walk-over and have their noses to ensure their own benefits. Golden keys, front doors, backdoors and whatever it is to escrow or weaken data security especially in the field of proper practical cryptography and they have not understood that such a dangerous and insane move would threaten their critical infrastructure and thus worsen the US economy and security overall. Disarming cryptography means all the above and more wouldn’t even have proper data security. That’s only a short list of many other critical systems. Here’s a list of some critical infra that requires security and their stupid request to stop encryption is exactly what will happen: That Homeland Security Secretary and those duped US Govt people by the Warhawks or maybe it’s all a huge Warhawks’ scheme doesn’t realize the stupidity of their requests and the impact.
