I don't know why HN disallows reply in certain circumstances. If you replied to the original post I never would have seen your reply. If you don't care if the third party can modify your data, then OK. If you did care though, does

If Alice can share notes with Bob in a manner where the service itself cannot determine that Alice and Bob have any connection at all, then go ahead and market that as Zero Knowledge. If the service can determine who is talking to who, thou

There's nothing Zero Knowledge about this. I'm starting to think that Spider Oak has destroyed the meaning of the term. Apparently Zero knowledge now means E2E.

SMS is federated, like everything else telecom. Just not as openly as SMTP.

I think EtM is better than the alternatives. As for the rest of it, you need to explicitly describe your protocol and what security you think it guarantees. Then you should ask for review wherever you can. Same for your implementation.

I agree. In most places it's difficult to rent places at reasonable prices for less than a year. Sure, you can rent crappy places, but nothing good. You get a lot more mileage committing a year at a time than jumping around every month

No, it's not. Authentication means ensuring the data is not tampered with between the time it's encrypted and decrypted.

TLS and AES-CBC aren't comparable. AES-CBC is just a block cipher mode of operation. TLS is a protocol that takes care of negotiating algorithms for key exchange, bulk encryption (which may be a block cipher using some mode), authentic

CBC mode is malleable. I can modify a block and the previous blocks won't be corrupted. The blocks I modify will silently decrypt, although I won't know what the output will be. Regardless, the decrypted output may still do someth

One problem is there's no authentication. The malicious server could modify your backup. Another scary thing about this is the fact that you have to keep track of the AES key for the backup as well as your private RSA key and its passw

The TSA are just the goons who search passengers at the airport. They have nothing to do with what you've talking about.

Many have "cut the cord" since 2008, so they would be streaming now but not then. The article talks of bandwidth, but I wonder if each stream is allocated more or less bandwidth now than in 2008.

I confirm that is indeed megabit per month. (324 gigabytes, or about $0.93 per gigabyte) Yeah, harsh. But hey, it's black market internet access.

End user access starts in a provincial/regional network, which is connected to a national "backbone", which maybe allows the traffic out of the country. In my experience there's massive packet loss between the province a

As others have said, the hotel doesn't have any authority over the spectrum itself so it can't impose any rules on it. Take the ham operator scenario: One operator can't broadcast a continuous whistle so that nobody else can

Spider Oak - Please stop describing your service as "Zero Knowledge" unless and until you deploy a service that is actually is. E2E encryption great, but it is not the same thing.

Looks like DIME hasn't been touched in a while. After the initial talk about this stuff a couple Defcons ago there doesn't seem to be much public progress. We'll see what he puts up.
