I have a quick question to throw out for anyone with opinions:
When the NSA PRISM program was exposed, it was leaked that the NSA has
the capabilities to monitor the content of communications taking place
through any of the list of companies they mentioned. Then Google,
Apple, and crew came out and denied it.
Would it be possible for the NSA to be monitoring traffic without them
knowing it/allowing a backdoor? Would that require NSA servers doing
128-bit SSL decryption at real-time speeds? Or perhaps only when
specific emails needed to be read? Could they have covertly compromised
the private keys of all of these establishments? ("US Government hacked
google" seems like a great Guardian headline)
Or do folks think that those companies are just lying through their
teeth?

Yes, let's have a end-user focused crypto
workshop!
I'm not an expert but I can help OS X users get set up with
Tor
Adium + OTR
Making encrypted disk images
Truecrypt
And I wanna learn about web of trust, keysigning, gpg for email
Also I'm really wishing for a better social network for people to
switch to. Any thoughts on that?

PGP and GPG won't protect your metadata from traffic analysis ("TA"),
which is what's been revealed that Anagram Inn has been up to. But
protecting your content is a good start, and building email
servers that
are end-to-end encrypted is the next step.

There was some discussion about this at the last
meeting, mostly
around
securing personal data on physical devices, but
it would be good
to have
another end-user based cryptoparty, even have it
be a full-day event
stemming from Today I Learned. I'll bring this up at the meeting on
Wednesday.
