mocking paranoia

Earlier, someone mocked someone else for being paranoid. Sorry, but this is a mistake. By definition, you have a non-empty threat model when you set out to encrypt; therefore you must be paranoid to use encryption. Or else they really *could* be out to get you, but sometimes it's not possible to tell, and you have to assume that they are. -russ <nelson@crynwr.com> http://www.crynwr.com/~nelson Crynwr Software sells packet driver support | PGP ok 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | Corporations persuade; Potsdam, NY 13676 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | governments coerce.
