- tonyhart7 1y agoonce a month???? I literally see this once every 2 days every comment that has little bit content of security/cryptography/secure/blockchain/CIA etc always mention this particular entry
- Ylpertnodi 1y agoJust wait until you discover '10,000'.

- matheusmoreira 1y agoWhy? Everyone knows about rubber-hose cryptanalysis. The whole point of cryptography is to reduce them to this. If they want our information, they should have to become literal tyrants, send armed men after us and violate human rights in order to get it. Not push a button on a computer to tap into their warrantless global dragnet surveilance networks and suddenly have our entire private lives revealed to them on a computer screen. Yes, people will fold if they are kidnapped and tortured. That's not news. Forcing them to stoop to that is the entire design. Once the situation has escalated to that level, you are justified in killing them in self-defense. Torturers don't make a habit of allowing their victims to live and testify about it.

- gweinberg 1y agoIt's really pretty stupid. Your encryption is there in case your laptop gets stolen. If you have people willing and able to kidnap and torture you to get your data, you have much bigger problems than the fact that they'll probably get it.
