How to thwart government surveillance and censorship online
,----[ Quote ]
| There are numerous ways to encrypt data that is either being sent over the
| Internet or stored on a local drive. One of the best pieces of encryption
| software is The GNU Privacy Guard (GPG), which uses a public/private key
| system to verify identities, encrypt files, and send encrypted information
| via e-mail. Users are able to create public keys and upload them to key
| servers. Other users can then sign their key once they have verified the
| identity of the key holder. This creates a "web of trust" to help verify that
| people are who they say they are. People can then send out e-mails with their
| GPG signature attached so others can be confident of the sender's identity.
| The system can also be used to encrypt e-mails and files, which can only be
| decrypted by a specific person or group of people on the other end.

RIAA boss: Move copyright filtering from ISPs to users’ PCs

| The issue of encryption "would have to be faced," Sherman admitted after
| talking about the wonders of filtering. "One could have a filter on the end
| user's computer that would actually eliminate any benefit from encryption
| because if you want to hear [the music], you would need to decrypt it, and at
| that point the filter would work."

UK police: 'We need crime breathalysers for PCs'
,----[ Quote ]
| UK police are hoping to one day develop a breathalyser-style tool for
| computers that could instantly flag up illegal activity on any PC it's
| attached to.
|
| Detective superintendent Charlie McMurdie, architect of the UK's Police
| Central E-crime Unit (PCeU), said frontline police ideally need a digital
| forensic tool as easy to use as the breathalyser, to help them deal with
| growing numbers of computers being seized during raids on suspects' homes.
