Hi,
Hope all is well.
Just touching base to let you know about the inaugural EdTech Venture Capital
track at the 8th annual New England Venture Summit on December 10-11, 2013.
If you know any EdTech startups that are seeking funding, there may be an
opportunity for them present their
We had some debate on this topic at the Circumvention Tech
Summit and I got some requests to publish my six reasons
not to use PGP. Well, I spent a bit more time on it and now
they turned into 10 reasons not to. Some may appear similar
or identical, but actually they are on top of each other.
In my opinion, this makes about as much sense as telling people who are
already having sex not to use condoms.
Consider mine a critique of why this post makes almost no sense to and
won't convince any member of the public. I'm sure some of the geeks here
will have a field day with it, but some
Also, the premise of your argument, 10 reasons not to start, presupposes the
truth of your argument, essentially begigng the question. Not that it makes
your other arguments invalid, but I cringed when I saw the title, and also
laughed.

While there are easy ways to mess up using PGP, I think that a more
well-rounded approach is to be mindful of the ways that one can be
de-anonymized (by others or themselves) while using it.
People who don't have a holistic view of their security, and don't
want to learn more about their
Thank you for doing this work!
The world needs someone facing the truth, explaining why gpg isn't the
solution, advocating positive change. It's a communicative task, a very
difficult one. As long there is gpg, most geeks don't see need to create
better alternatives.
I'd say, gpg's development

Interesting. But someone should also write a piece called 1 reason not
to criticise security tech without clearly stating threat model which
serves as basis for that criticism. What if Mallory isn't a
well-funded governmental organization but is the admin who runs your
employer's email servers?
Agreed. The threat model discussion clearly is too often lost in all the
current post-Snowden debates. We need to remember that a lot if solutions might
not be enough to protect anyone against NSAish authorities but more than enough
against other, most real, threats to peoples personal safety.

Hi there,
I think this is a good topic for debate among those who can or are
currently developing security tools/protocols,
I'm surprised to see this list has missed the thing that bugs me most
about PGP: It conflates non-repudiation and authentication.
I send Bob an encrypted message that we should meet to discuss the
suppression of free speech in our country. Bob obviously wants to be
sure that the message is coming
