My TEDx Talk

Another Schneier Interview
I was interviewed for Technology Review on the NSA and the Snowden documents.
Did I Actually Say That?
I’m quoted (also here) as using this analogy to explain how IT companies will be damaged by the news that they’ve been collaborating with the NSA:
“How would it be if your doctor put rat poison in your medicine? Highly damaging,” said Bruce Schneier, a US computer security expert.
Not the most eloquent I’ve been recently. Clearly I need to relax.
My New PGP/GPG and OTR Keys

Another Interview
I was interviewed by MinnPost.
The NSA Is Breaking Most Encryption on the Internet
The new Snowden revelations are explosive. Basically, the NSA is able to decrypt most of the Internet. They’re doing it primarily by cheating, not by mathematics.
It’s joint reporting between the Guardian, the New York Times, and ProPublica.
I have been working with Glenn Greenwald on the Snowden documents, and I have seen a lot of them. These are my two essays on today’s revelations.
Remember this: The math is good, but math has no agency. Code has agency, and the code has been subverted.
EDITED TO ADD (9/6): Someone somewhere commented that the NSA’s “groundbreaking cryptanalytic capabilities” could include a practical attack on RC4. I don’t know one way or the other, but that’s a good speculation.
EDITED TO ADD (9/6): Relevant Slashdot and Reddit threads.
EDITED TO ADD (9/13): An opposing view to my call to action.
