The answer, as I see it, to this, is transparent decryption via federated ledgers. That way the data is not just "available". Note- the big guys (facebook, google) could trick/force individuals into handing over keys, but if

It's not about avoiding marketing. It's about ownership and control. If I want my stuff to be analysed- I let that happen- it finds business or social matches- awesome. I just need the option to turn that off for things I don&#x27

We're trying to build the idea of "paid for storage" that doesn't look at your stuff, but getting people to pay fora service that others provide with advertising for free is hard. Any company being truthful about what th

After reading a little I randomly plonked on Brave. Selfishly, I wanted to know if our stuff worked on it- encryption, chunking etc. To my joy, it does and.... Brave is pretty cool. Converted. I have noticed Xero doesn't work on Brave.

direct deposit works fine in AU. If what you are actually doing is cash to a person. Then you can stay electronic.

Homomorphic encryption, anonomized data coupled with metadata, searching via k-Anonymity models. I mean, sure it has a cost, some of this stuff is new, but to say "cannot be encrypted"... that's where the fun is- working out

Unfortunately it gives them the legal capability to require your startup/IT company/multinational to put development time in at their request to enable your software to give them the access they want. For example- get chats in r

Sure, you could say the same of any document, electronic or not. Most crime is not that complicated. It turns out that the metadata footprint left on a computer creating a document- if you can seize it- is rich in detail enabling creati

1. Don't take the laptop, preferably don't take a phone, unless you can factory wipe it before entering customs. If this is not an option, don't go. With 10 years in forensics/ more in IT and a good/careful eye to t

I visited from Australia in 2009 and I was going to a law enforcement work conference- that was close enough to work for them to ask me for hotel details. I remember needing everything on that page. LA-X as point of entry. It was un-pleasan

Considering even with logging off: journaling file systems, "user assist", device connection logs, pre-fetch (or your OS's equivalent)- these are all huge tranches of data if you are looking at a system shortly after an event

factory reset will do the job even for forensic tools- the border-class forensic tools- cellebrite, magnet forensics aquire, oxygen, etc are all accessing above the flash translation layer. So deleted is deleted, in that case, on a phone.

How about this. Make 2 email accounts. One for your stuff, one that is more or less empty. Re-set your phone to factory. Synch with the empty account. When you are in-country, reset phone, synch with first account. Done. 45 minutes or les

Right. Well that changes things. There is some evidence of the contents. I wonder if there are hash values for those 20,000 CEM files and if they are still on freenet. If so LE could aquire, via the hashes, from the network, and prove, wi

There are several ways to utilise TrueCrypt to truly hide data. The issue is "operational security", not the tool you use. You need to think about how the data is stored, what it will look like whilst encrypted, how will you hand

I think the idea of 16 months for contempt is legally ridiculous. However, they have some evidence. I presume their de-construction of freenet will have given them some insight. The technical issue that concerns me, and I'm not sure
