Re: [liberationtech] Does anyone know a celebrity who feels strongly about privacy issues?

In comments to a recent post, people seemed to agree that publishing a video of someone reading a hash might be a fairly hard-to-hack way to deliver that hash to the public, and thus assure the authenticity of a piece of code, a public key, or whatnot. The problem is that the sample youtube video I linked had yours truly reading the hash, and people naturally objected that I wasn't Justin Bieber and, consequently, weren't too convinced that the video was authentic. Aside from the fact that an adversary might be able to convince Justin Bieber to make a video reading a fake hash (not that I believe Justin doesn't care; it's just a hypothesis), the idea of getting a celebrity for this kind of video has a lot of merit. I'd like to engage one for the next update of my app. So, here's my question. Does any one know of a celebrity who cares enough about computer security to be persuaded to take one minute of his/her time to read a hash before a camera?

Furthermore, as a US-based communication provider, Skype would therefore be required to comply with the secretive practice of National Security Letters. You don't articulate why being subject to CALEA is bad. Are the people signing the letter arguing that law enforcement should never have access to real-time intercepts of skype voice/video communications? If so, say that, and why. If not, CALEA merely mandates access capabilities, it doesn't specify under what situations the government can perform an interception, Also, if you want to raise the issue of secretive surveillance practices, NSLs wouldn't be at the top of my list (yes, they don't require a judge, but they can at best be used to obtain communications metadata). I would instead focus your criticism of the fact that US surveillance law does not sufficiently protect communications between two non-US persons, and in particular, the government can intercept such communications without even having to demonstrate probable cause to a judge. Specifically, non-US persons have a real reason to fear FISA Amendments Act of 2008 section 702 Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (FAA), codified as 50 U.S.C. 1181a, which allows the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to authorize jointly the targeting of non-United States persons for the purposes of gathering intelligence for a period of up to one year. 50 U.S.C. 1881a(1). Section 702 contains restrictions, including the requirement that the surveillance may not intentionally target any person known at the time of acquisition to be located in the United States. 50 U.S.C. § 1881a(b)(1). The Attorney General and DNI must submit to the FISC an application for an order (mass acquisition order) for the surveillance either before their joint authorization or within seven days thereof. The FAA sets out a procedure by which the Attorney General and DNI must obtain certification from FISC for their program, which includes an assurance that the surveillance is designed to limit surveillance to persons located outside of the United States. However, the FAA does not require the government to identify targets of surveillance, and the FISC does not consider individualized probable cause determinations or supervise the program.

There's no binary in DNT+'s code, so you may want to check your facts. I'll respond to your everything must be open source statement, although I'm fairly certain it won't have any effect on your opinion that closed always equals bad. And please keep in mind that we're giving away a *free *add-on with *zero *tracking of or advertising to its users. It's an unnecessarily restrictive and self-handicapping position that software *must *be open source to be useful for privacy. Plenty of open source privacy tools have come and gone in the past because they aren't sustainable without funding. Our software does what it says, and it's designed to be simple enough that the vast majority of Internet users--people who aren't coders or particularly tech savvy--can use it. It also represents an inordinate amount of time, effort, and intellectual endeavor; years of work that simply wouldn't have been possible as a side project to supplement a paying job. There's nothing wrong with getting paid. Financing allowed us to create what we did. It's a double-edged sword: our VC funding provided the resources to create what we did, which means that our investors wouldn't be thrilled if we turned around and gave away our IP. We're already giving the product away for free without any monetary gain from it. You can categorically write off software because it's not open source, but you'll miss a lot of legitimate opportunities for privacy protection. -Sarah On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 10:47 AM, The Dod unclezz...@gmail.com wrote: Unless I'm mistaken, your source code isn't publicly available.
