End-to-end encryption is coming.... - Oddysey - Nov. 19, 2014 01:20 AM

I like to keep up with security issues, and read many different sites during the day. One such is Techdirt, a site that actually covers many aspects of technology, not just security. But today, there's a piece on a new push for e2e encryption. Read it here:

There's a link therein to a YouTube video, and if you want to just jump straight to the good stuff, this is it:

I won't make any predictions, especially about how soon this might come about, but I'm pretty certain that the government's "War on Citizens" is about to ratchet up a notch....

Later,




Oddysey

Thank you for this! I hope you're doing well my friend Smile!

I too like to follow security/privacy topics, and this was another story that I found very intersting: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/19/whatsapp-messaging-encryption-android-ios
