If you use steganography with plaintext, you're relying on security by obscurity. No. It is perfectly possible to have steganographic keys, in the same way that you have cryptographic keys. Trivial example: If the key is 7, the hidden mes

Stego is detectable. Only in the sense that "Crypto is breakable." The entire point of steganography is that it isn't detectable. If it can be detected, you need a better algorithm.

That button is called the "Recycle Bin". I believe it has been on the default desktop since at least Windows 95.

From that blog post... What can you do with such a certificate? Well, you can impersonate Google -- assuming you can first reroute Internet traffic for google.com to you. This is something that can be done by a government or by a rogue ISP

But the compressed version actually exposes more detail. No. It really doesn't. It adds a couple of visual filters (brightening, sharpening) before recompressing, but these don't "expose more detail", but rather all three steps actually i

Sure, there are workarounds, but in a UI, the defaults should be sensible, because the vast majority of users never see anything other than the defaults. Unfortunately, it is arguable that on many sites the defaults just aren't sensible. Yo

There is a general problem with browser UIs: it's never clear whether a link will open in the same tab, open in a new tab, or do neither and actually do something ajaxy instead. This problem is made worse on pages with embedded flash video,

The reason that PI was not detected is because the attacker embedded a Flash object inside the Excel file. The Flash file was a 0day exploit that could download and execute a file, which in this case was the attacker's PI client. The Pois

There are obviously trivial workarounds to the problem. I was simply making the point that it didn't have to be a problem in the first place.

There are definitely downsides to iOS apps not having access to each others' filespace, but the security benefits this brings really are great.

Yup. A four-port USB option would be nice, though, to make it just a touch easier (and cheaper) for those who want to pile on the features. With only two, after you've added a keyboard and mouse, you're already out of expansion options for

Come on, "coming up with a good 128 bit or 256 bit key" is only a very small part of key management (and, as you note, probably also the easiest part of key management). You know this.
