Of course the NSA can just issue a NSL to the certificate authority and then all the encryption in the world won't help. Of course you can sign your own keys but then exchanging them becomes difficult.
- smsm42 13y agoThis assumes you use certificates generated by the third party. However this is not at all a requirement for cryptography, this is only a convenience to set up an easy key exchange. You can set it up in the hard way - i.e. meeting in pubs and exchange USB drives with keys, for example. May be more interesting but less convenient. That's exactly what I am saying - you can have stronger privacy, but you'll have to pay for it with convenience.
