You could plan terrorist activity using postcards. Should we ban the Post Office? You could use phone calls from pay phones (where they still exist) and people used to do that all the time to plan crimes. You could go on vacation together and plan something. You could use voice or text chat in an online game to plan stuff. The people in charge of these organizations are not the suicide bombers; the head folks know full well what to use to avoid getting caught.
- eterm 11y agoYour post seems to miss the fact that the mail, phone calls and popular chat services are already logged, and asking for encryption back-doors is just wanting that process to continue.
- ceejayoz 11y agoMail may be logged, but they're certainly not opening most envelopes to read their contents.
- thomasjames 11y agoPostcard steganography. Would be downright devious.
- WildUtah 11y agoI have a friend who used to get erotic messages from her mathematician boyfriend steganographically encrypted on postcards. I had to show her how to decrypt them. It was pretty standard cryptanalysis once I guessed that the messages existed. Some of them were filthy.
- JshWright 11y agoStenographically encrypted in the printed image? How would that work?
- metalliqaz 11y agoProbably on the side you write on.
- JshWright 11y agoYep, that would make far more sense... For some reason I assumed it was an image encoded on the postcard. Rereading the original post, that's not what it says, is it...
