This case is one that Groklaw used to cover, and... I have no idea what's going on there anymore, and don't know where else to look for anything of similar depth and trustworthiness.
Groklaw was a news site which covered tech company litigation, which shut down in 2013 because the primary author, Pamela Jones, felt threatened by bulk email collection. (http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130818120421175 http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20130818120421175) Finding out that the old cases it covered are still going through appeals and maneuverings, its absence is deeply felt.
- shrewduser 11y agodamn i miss groklaw. plz come back.
- saganus 11y agoI knew Growklaw shutdown some time ago, but never had the chance to read this entry. Wow. It's very dark. It really made me think. However... aside from that, and trying to shake down a bit of that darkness, I read the update with Sheier's advice, and this stood out: "Prefer symmetric cryptography over public-key cryptography. " Why would that be? I've never actually read anything that would touch on the subject. Does anyone have any references to why are these comments so? is it that symmetric crypto can use larger keys? or is it because using an OTP makes it unbreakabale?
