The only way surveillance on the current scale will be defeated is if technology makes it moot.
Perhaps someone could comment on whether current encryption protocols are sufficient? If not, what would it take?
- ihsw 11y agoWhether they are sufficient pales in comparison to them being used properly by the vast majority of endusers (consumer ISPs, tech firms, network operators, etc).
- devit 11y agoThere is currently no system that can provide perfect anonymity against a global adversary (someone who has wiretaps on all links and can possibly inject data as well), and it's not clear if it is technically feasible to build one. There is also no feasible way of mathematically proving that complex hardware or software does what is supposed to do, which means that you need to trust the authors, and isolation against bugs with security impact is required.
