On Monday, I asked Adm. Rogers a question.

My Superpower
For its “Top Influencers in Security You Should Be Following in 2015” blog post, TripWire asked me: “If you could have one infosec-related superpower, what would it be?” I answered:
Most superpowers are pretty lame: super strength, super speed, super sight, super stretchiness.
Teleportation would probably be the most useful given my schedule, but for subverting security systems, you can’t beat invisibility. You can bypass almost every physical security measure with invisibility, and when you trip an alarm—say, a motion sensor—the guards that respond will conclude that you’re a false alarm.
Oh, you want an “infosec” superpower. Hmmm. The ability to detect the origin of packets? The ability to bypass firewalls without a sound? The ability to mimic anyone’s biometric? Those are all too techy for me. Maybe the ability to translate my thoughts into articles and books without going through the tedious process of writing. But then, what would I do on long airplane flights? So maybe I need teleportation after all.
3-1-1 for Encryption
An excellent idea:
311 for encryption. RSA, DSA, and ECDSA must be 3.4 ounces (100bits) or less per container; must be in 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per message placed in screening bin. The bag limits the total data volume each traveling message can bring.
Smart Pipe
Pretty impressive surveillance-economy satire.

Chapter 137 of My Surreal Life
Someone wrote Sherlock-Schneier fan fiction. Not slash, thank heavens. (And no, that’s not an invitation.)
"Tips For Crafting A Strong Password That Really Pops"
Funny, and the inspiration for this week’s headlines. (Note that the image shows Password Safe on the screen.)
And marginally related, here’s an odd essay about using a password as a mantra for personal change.
