This simply isnt PRISM proof.

Will people stop saying x is prism proof without actually thinking about it first. Until you are self hosted(in a physically secure location), with "perfect" encryption, with clear delineations of trust, its never going to be PRISM proof.

Where are your emails destined to go? PRISM.

Where is your server hosted? in the cloud? well hello PRISM, good bye private key.

[csears]

True, but this is still very much worth paying attention to, even if it's not NSA-proof today.

If we are ever going to get to a future where self-hosted solutions gain widespread adoption, it will be enabled by projects like Kolab making incremental progress towards a Google Apps-like experience.

The only way privacy-protecting technologies will ever become mainstream is to make them more usable, more beautiful, and more trendy than the PRISM-friendly alternatives.

I don't know about Kolab, but I'm really curious about this sort of attitude. You think the NSA can crack PGP?

[ippisl]

At least according to snowden, PGP itself is secure , but client security is still awfull.And i believe anonimity(tor) is probably broken by the NSA.

But the question is: is the NSA willing to expose it's hand to spy on some occupy protestors ?

[mhurron]

PGP doesn't help you if the recipient doesn't use it.

[cotsuka]

Well there was that famous CIA statue that nobody could figure out for a while. Turns out the NSA solved it pretty fast, but they just didn't tell anybody.

And being the codemasters for the most powerful western country, I should hope that they employ people who are able to beat what people do on their free time.

[alan_cx]

Well, I'd prefer to assume they can.

Back at you... do you think the NSA's entire capabilities to date have been publicised?

you do not lock your door at home because the police can open it?
