different branches of the institution are often criticized for not understanding, or even care, areas of critical importance for privacy and security. In one image, how the New York Post shows the situation is with this ignorance.
When I came to the European Parliament, I am often shocked at how policy makers and politicians including the crucial issues of the 21st century: information, security, privacy (which in turn leads to innovation and growth). Instead, MEPs have printed emails to them by their secretaries and put in a pile on their desk, and they would therefore believe that they understood what the Internet was about.
There are some years, there was something like a riot on the Internet as the copyright industry has tried to delete the key "09-F9-11-02- 9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88 -C0 "to be discussed: it was a token for access and control of Hollywood DVD playback. Everyone who is familiar with the Internet include the concept of publishing a . It can not be canceled, and once you publish his secret, you have opened Pandora's box.
A cryptographic key is usually published as above, in a sequence of hexadecimal digits, since that is the secret key. What makes it different from a physical key, where fitness the key is the secret key.
Now consider this story by the New York Post, which screams of terror as a master key for utilities New York fled. Consider this story has gone by many people in the publishing path, all part of the implementation of the creation story, and considering that their understanding of the most fundamental security should look like.
Yes, that's the key being discussed here, the key "1620". The New York Post is screaming in terror that the master key is on the loose, and becomes publish the full secrecy of the key, in gigantic format. From this point, anyone can trivially reproduce this key.
It is reasonable to ask when an ignorance of security at this level becomes incredible criminal negligence.
ignorance is like the fiasco with Diebold voting machines, also there are about a decade. The voting machines were supposed security; they needed a key to access the memory card slots. Spare keys are available on the website of Diebold, and were sold only to certified voting officials. But like any webshop, there were high-resolution photos key voting machines right on this webshop, and these images can be (and are) used to create keys that could access the files vote.
safety, too, begins to become your own responsibility
