I hold multitudes. I am in one thread totally cypherpunk, and have been for a very long time. There are innumerable ways to compromise and be compromised for all kinds of good and mostly bad reasons. Perfect protection is tough for in many ways and we should keep striving to get closer to that ideal security stance.
On the other hand, life is a balance. I probably shouldn't have tried to make the point here, but it is something a security professional should understand well: The right amount of security should be moderated by the tradeoff of costs vs. overhead vs. maximizing benefit vs. minimizing loss. Security stances change over time and aren't necessarily accurately reflected by paranoid absolutism.
Right you are, in "security" context is everything. My take on the Cypherpunk Way is, start with design concepts for maximum security (!= absolute security), then trim the security constraints back just enough to permit useful work to be done on a cost effective basis.
This should also be the case with privacy. Start with maximum privacy and trim down if absolutely *needed*. -- Pozdrawiam, Michał "rysiek" Woźniak Zmieniam klucz GPG :: http://rys.io/pl/147 GPG Key Transition :: http://rys.io/en/147
