Sure, but the reason basically is wealth has 2 currencies, money and property. That's why many of the wealthiest people you meet around the world got wealthy by working directly in property or finance.

Moreover this bill actually requires a warrant to be issued for each individual that is to be spied upon. Public interest is supposedly demonstrated through evidence that the motive is "protection" not "spying". It'

The preferencing of Family First and Hunters and Shooters was a (very, very big) balls up [1] and sadly, will likely lead to an implosion of the political party. [1] http://www.wikileaksparty.org.au/the-wikileaks-party-annou

It's an interesting point. We've actually stopped buying fresh produce from online groceries because the quality / freshness has been consistently poor or in some cases (meat) even declined. We've only had the opportunit

Once again the posters title was overruled despite the fact that it was on top of page 1, the posters title was a quote taken directly from the article, and the post was generating good discussion.

Exactly. That's what happened... No one seemed to grok that in 2001 (or 1971).

You can think of this as a blueprint for snoopworthy governments around the world including all US or Russian allies. Think about that! (and submit a patch to support 451 in your favourite web server / framework).

Encryption is hard because computers are constrained by (but exceptionally good at) discrete maths. All encryption does is slow cryptographic attacks down (a lot). Also, proper key management is out of reach for most of us.

Generally speaking unless you are specifically required to keep records for a regulatory purpose (i.e. tax), you don't have to keep logs at all. Lavabit used to keep logs for a limited time (I think a week?). More concerning are key di

His comment may be snide, but the expectation that the investigation will be a sham is, I would wager, a common opinion of the general public. If anything, it goes to show that we've lost faith that the government can keep itself in ch

Sure but smartcards and HSMs are slow and in a properly managed environment are much safer than memory. Whether or not the OP has an HSM is moot. The OP said, "I want to design and implement a solution as secure as it can be" ...

Just because it's more secure than network / file doesn't mean it's secure. That's why we have smartcards / HSMs.

Memory is not secure. It's quite a common attack to grab keys / passwords from the memory of an executing program.

This, and other layers of security. There is no magic formula to keep your data safe. If you are serious you need network security (i.e. firewalls physically separating networks), proxies, IDS etc. You also need to build your app in a secur
