The real challenge is to get government to quit using communication devices with backdoor access
From a cybersecurity perspective, it is nearly impossible to create a backdoor to a communications product that is only accessible for certain purposes or under certain conditions.
Oh? It is possible? Pray tell, how?
Screen recording or snapshots like Windows Recall. Or keyboard telemitry.
But that’s it I think.
It’s well known that iphone, google samsung and microsoft android keyboards are the most used keyloggers in the world.
No. Everything is still closed and not interoperable.
I’ve just read about Google Wave.
I think we need a global low-latency (no waiting an hour for a message to propagate) alternative to Usenet. And there should be two separate layers - unique article (or message) identifiers and the transport (be it lots of news servers exchanging articles as the main layer, or as an auxiliary level users exchanging them p2p with some way to verify an identifier and the fact that it was posted in some specific group by some specific person at some specific time). And cryptographic identities. And cryptographic alternative to DNS inside that - with name-to-identifier records signed and verifiable via a chain to some known name authority, not querying a service.
An article can contain many things, it can be a hypertext page. It can, maybe, contain some header allowing to build articles into hierarchies with such a naming service providing paths. And navigate those with a browser. So you’d have a system friendly to mobile devices, to privacy, to economy of resources, to preserving information, to indexing and scraping.
But I think I’ve missed something technical preventing this from being created in my thoughts.
The real challenge is getting loved ones to care enough to use a FREE encrypted communication app.
Its like they see privacy as an anti-feature and would rather leave the door wide open for anyone to come rummage through their messages.
