If that's the case then I'm just the sort of person who would then encrypt everything...even if it's just a shopping list. I'd encourage everyone else to do likewise. I'm a little bloody-minded and can be an awkward so-and-so if irked. Filling the net with encrypted fud would, if nothing else, make me smile when they finally decrypt the email to my mrs asking her to get some milk from the shops on her way home from work:D

I don't think anyone should worry too much about super computers trying to break crypto systems. It is far easier for the police to kick a door down and apply the thumb screw technique rather than waste time trying to break an impossible to break cipher. Btw the simplest method to break the private key problem is to break into a vulnerable operating system and plant a trojan, that is far more likely to happen.

BUT and it's a big but... Anyone with nothing to hide should not worry about what super spook agencies like NSA may or may not do. Simple encryption will stop Phorm or casual and organised profilers dead in their tracks. Phorm are looking to parasite an easy problem to crack (plain text with layer 7 DPI)

It would be interesting to hear what thoughts 'Relakks' managing director has to say about these developments.

Working perfect on my Aquiss connection.

A good find looks like the advertising seat is heating up for those who sit inside the ISP network leeching off others.

Oh and just to make things a little bit harder for them i.e. impossible, change your keys regularly, and that way they can spend years of time enjoying themselves trying to break each differently encrypted shopping list and odd postit note :D

Face it, the money they will save in electricy costs alone from the futile decrypto efforts will mean they can station a permament van-Eck monitoring system outside your home. Lookup our old Cambridge Uni friend Ross Anderson for more details.

Not sure if I mentioned it before but there was a nice article on lifehacker about encrypting your emails using Thunderbird and PGP

Might come in handy if you'd like to try it out :)

I can see a new business opportunity..(feel free to steal it :) )

Get BT to host a nice big computer for you which you can offer as a VPN endpoint practically within BT's network, make sure it has a lot of CPU, RAM and bandwidth.

Sell the service to BT customers who want to ensure their privacy as your machine is the other side of the profilers :D

Now you've done it!

Hear that scratching sound? It's the BT forum watchers taking notes.
That idea will be in a BT powerpoint by monday morning and approved by management that afternoon as a means of screwing the customers both ways.

Great post thank you BeeVee. Time for all to come from the shadows if only to say you are here. Please.

I have been one of the lurkers here for several months now. This campaign has got me spitting nails. Have been telling everyone i know about it and even got a reply from David Cameron after asking what he could/would do about it. Finally snapped this morning and cancelled my BB from virgin and going with adsl24 as of next week.
Thanks to everyone who has kept this alive and maybe see a few of you as the BT agm
