Can GPG be easier to use, I think so, is it too difficult to use by ordinary people - no, they're just too fucking lazy and lack motivation. ... and this is pretty much the poster child for why we have so much unusable crypto today.
privacy is for all people! not just the privileged.
effective privacy requires utmost usability. What, like being able to open all random flash attachments in MSIE on Windows, without any awareness of the possible consequences? Been at the doctor last week and just because I was bored b waiting scan showed me that his wiifi for patients is shared with is laptop where medial records are stored and only barrier is WEP.
In one pub I have been all payments transactions are processed through PC with Windows connected to same net as unencrypted free wiifi hotspot... everybody with smartphone/notebook and netmap and wireshark can just read. ... Fact is that security by obscurity still does work and again it is double edged sword. In case you will want to have educated masses to understand technology in the way they understand how vulnerable they are at that same moment you will find how vulnerable is whole society. It is probably good idea that normal people do not think about how easy is to break this glass to just go into somebody house... Do not be evil is basic rule here. How many sysadmins/sysops have root password to whatever we are doing? To all of our identities and our traces. Who of you can download half of today human knowhow just by one smarter script... imho most of us. And here we are technological leaders who decided not to fraud and destroy. This is long time know story about good and about bad. Common sense here seems like: ok we are good and gov is bad. Partially agree because gov tend to be bunch of criminals after all [with more or less visible motives]. Where this idea is heeding? Hard to say, it is not complete yet. But open source is as important as never before after somebody decided we are suppose to pay for copyright. Cryptography is more or less public know how between at least some part of educated people. Kids in pubs are talking about quality of encrypton of software they have in their smart devices... It is not self sustaining system nor gov or criminals are. It is about work to be done after all. But I tend to be optimistic. Regards, - Over -- “Borders I have never seen one.
