The bottom line is To be honest my target was more along the line of Sam Weiler's worries, namely, for people who are paranoid a warrant will show up and their machine will walk away. Presumably there's still the "wiretap" equivalent problem (someone gets a copy of the data before it's encrypted) but if it went over the wire in the clear you already have that problem. This only precludes the bits from being available at a later time, not any time up until they're encrypted. --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
