Old Article Comments I exported these from my old wordpress blog, so they are a bit out of date, but I thought I’d keep them around for posterity. [billjonesgeneralstore] - Nov 5, 2013 Reblogged this on You Better Watch Out.

An excellent and informing interview with the founder of the Lavabit email service, who was recently involved in a legal case with the FBI, who attempted to force him to hand over SSL encryption keys. This was of course the email service used by Edward Snowden, so attracted a lot of attention. There’s some really interesting technical stuff in here, specifically about the value of perfect forward secrecy in HTTPS encryption, which he wasn’t using, and how he protected his user’s data, in many clever ways.
