 It's #GlobalEncryptionDay! Time to remind everyone that a backdoor "for the good guys only" is simply not possible. By demanding encryption backdoors, politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. 👇 https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk 42 comments
@Tutanota nobody can keep a secret anymore. The whole world knows George Costanza ATM pin number.  If the key is on the device, it'd leak in no time. If this is the public key of an unsymmetric crypto pair, it might take a somewhat longer time for the private key to leak. Call me pedantic but this symbolically states that only Apple and FBI will be able to use that back door. @Tutanota Yes, thank you for sharing this! I rely on your email service and greatly appreciate your privacy and security. @grinnerface Definitely, thanks for sharing. We did not have the original, will use this one from now on!  @grinnerface @Tutanota It’s being used by a commercial company in commercial advertising - unless they have a license from the artist. As this artist has their name cropped out and isn’t linked or named in the article, this is a copyright violation and should be removed. For a company concerned with privacy and individual rights, you’d think they’d honor an artist’s rights. @Tutanota “It’s not that I have anything to hide. It’s just that I dont trust your intentions/opsec with my data” @Tutanota you simply can't but controlled selective access into math. It's as simple as that.  @Tutanota I wonder where in that lineup you'll find America's Republicans and Canada's Conservatives.  @Tutanota @shawnhooper People believe they are the hero of their own story. So they believe they can solve problems, if only they had access to the data. However, this kind of power is easy to abuse. Instead people need to consider “what if my enemy had this power over me?” Would they still believe it’s a good idea? i think not. This applies equally well to software as well as the law. The best thing we could do to protect everyone is build strong encryption into everything @Tutanota > Stuart Carlson's cartoon is not that recent, but unfortunately remains important. It succinctly summarizes what's at stake when backdoors are built into encryption. Then a shadowy gang immediately stands ready to take advantage of it, from the so-called "good guys" (if we are to believe that) to no doubt a range of people with anything but good intentions as well like malicious attackers, repressive regimes etc."  |
