This is not necessarily the case, thanks to encryption, which plays on the side of the weak. A weak can encrypt data that a strong can never decrypt.
- walterbell 4y ago> a strong can never decrypt Is "a weak" using an encryption random number generator that was designed by "a weak" or "a strong"?
- jkepler 4y agoOne can generate one's private keys by physically rolling dice and choosing words, thus avoiding the problem of rigged random number generators. The government still doesn't control physics (or economic laws, come to think of it!).
- walterbell 4y ago> physically rolling dice Thanks for the reminder to buy (in person) and secure dice against physical tampering!
- int_19h 4y agoEncryption can be banned or otherwise regulated. While it wouldn't prevent people "with something to hide" from using encryption regardless, it would deter most regular people, which is good enough from the government perspective for the purposes of this exercise.
