"can only be seen by your recipient"
Both endpoints are DRM'd and controlled and recorded by big brother, you don't have root on either although uncountable exploits and viruses do, and often at least one of the endpoints is big brother himself so obtaining logs will be quite easy.
- bjelkeman-again 6y agoBut, isn’t the argument that access this way is cumbersome and only available economically to priority targets? Also, if you need you can run Linux as end points.
- Reelin 6y agoRun Linux ... on a device whose CPU has an unauditable security coprocessor? A CPU whose microcode is implemented in encrypted firmware? A device whose physical hardware can't be meaningfully audited without state actor level resources? I don't really think such approaches are used or even viable currently. But if it ever were a concern, "run Linux" doesn't even begin to address it. (Anyway you can't run Linux if your endpoint is a phone with a locked bootloader.)
- Mirioron 6y agoThe only way that I can see this being actually safe is if you make the hardware to encrypt and decrypt the data yourself.
