I heard Eben's talk at FOSDEM, and it occurred to me that, in some jurisdictions, ownership of a Freedom Box could itself be regarded as either suspicious or even criminal. (For example, countries that restrict cryptography, or can jail you for not disclosing keys, as is the case in the UK.) So it would make sense to run the software on a device that has some other reason to justify its existence / presence; perhaps some kind of embedded device that is always switched on. A specific such device, that at first I thought of just because of the irony of it, is the wireless IP CCTV camera. On further thought, it seems this could be specifically a very suitable kind of device for the purpose, as it has a continuous stream of information-poor data which would be ideal for encoding things in steganographically. As an added benefit, such cameras could also form a sousveillance network. (Quick introduction: I'm a programmer, based in the UK. I don't think my skillset has much overlap with what's needed for this project, but I just wanted to drop this idea in, in case it's useful.) _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
