Ermm ... I'd argue that dragnet mass surveillance is exactly one of the causes. Good security should be the default position. That we've had poor security to date should be the considered the real aberration.
- Fuxy 12y agoThis is all bull. There are skilled IT forensics people who can access these devices without the permission of the owner as long as they seize them on. As far as I know the key needs to be kept in ram which means it is vulnerable while the device is on. This only prevents dragnet surveillance; nothing more.
- pgeorgi 12y agoThere are proof of concepts to keep the key in registers, for example http://www1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/tresor http://www1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/tresor That prevents coldboot attacks and other means of reading the key out of memory.
- tutts 12y agoIsn't solving problems they didn't create exactly what police work is all about?
- tootie 12y agoThe Manhattan DA didn't invent dragnet surveillance. It's way beyond his capabilities and he probably has zero access to what the NSA has captured. Besides, the NSA is not stealing data from local storage. They're getting it from anyone site that's storing user data.
