Hillary Clinton wants “Manhattan-like project” to break encryption

What can you say about Hillary?! :redbrick:

She is against encryption, but has an email server at home to prevent scooping by her OWN administration!

Oh yeah, Manhattan project was a great analogy!

I'm not going to talk about my old boss.....

I wonder if Hilary leaves her house back door unlock...so that ONLY Bill can sneak into the house after hours?

"We, of the Free World of the West, should build an atomic bomb to fight the Fascists and Nazis of the world. And this amazing weapon, if built, will only be in the hands of the free world, and will only be a threat to the oppressors and enemies of Freedom!"

Anyone remember this? It turned out well, no?

LOL The NSA (and a wide variety of other corporations) already has ISD & OSD (Onbound SSL Decryption / Outside SSL Decryption). Of course, for now, this is only functional with SHA1 Hash Algorithms; as businesses start enforcing SHA-256, SHA-512 or ECC-256/384/512, ISD / OSD tools will not be available out of the gate.

When it comes to email encryption, well...that's a big nut to crack as there are consortiums / standards organizations and Governments that have PRIVACY laws that would prevent the lawful deployment of un-encryption tools for email encryption.

Like most politicians, she thinks she's smarter than everyone else; what she really needs to do just just fade away like a lackluster sunset.

She is probably the most capable of the candidates, and probably the least trustworthy.

She wants to setup a no fly zone to shoot down planes from the Syrian govt who is fighting ISIS.

Even PBS Frontline has documented that the Assad regime is 1000x better than isis.

She believes in good Islamic jihadi rebels if that tells you anything. She keeps repeating the lie that there are good rebels fighting for democracy.

It's a total lie. Read anything about these rebels groups (NYT, Washington Post, PBS, Der Spiegel) and you'll see that even the most US aligned of rebels are not friendly at all. They are fighting for Islamic jihad with the purpose of setting up a Sharia law state. They are funded by Saudi Arabia and Quatar.

As SecState she helped overthrow Libyia. Look at how well that country is doing now.

I'm not going to bash your opinion because we are all in-tilted to them. I'll say this. I have spent many years protection this nation. I have seen more than my fair share of failed states and nations around the world. The scares and images will forever be burned into my mind. The most fundamentally F up organisation I have ever seen in the DOS. There are good people in it but the organisation at her at the helm was just SCARY! When people like your self make statements like "most capable" makes me just want to run. I'm not calling your ignorant or stupid by any mean. Just please make sure you are really informed because when you are you will rethink that statement I promise man. This is not coming second hand, this is coming from the source.

If only there were a legitimate candidate that could stop her. Trump and those who don't call him out are literally handing her the win.

I'm just beside myself this cycle. Hillary is such a nightmare and a vulnerable candidate, and the republicans are tilting toward the only candidate she actually can beat. I keep praying for all our sakes that trump will implode, but it just hasn't happened.

 

[Ol'Blue]

At this point I'm not sure about anyone in the GOP let alone anyone period.

When I said she is the most capable of the candidates, remember the context. Most of the other candidates seem like they belong in the Silly Party from a Monty Python election skit.

Very true. This is the saddest pool of candidates I have ever seen.

I honestly don't think she will win man even if she get the dem. spot.

No different than the last few elections.

All politics aside, don't give 'em the decryption key :dammit:!

 

[BrianSD_42]

Backdoor encryption is ALWAYS a mistake.

Also the assumption that if we only built backdoors into everything (eg Android and IOS) then Al-Q or ISIS wouldn't be able to use encryption is BEYOND STUPID.

The encryption already exists and is out in the open. Even AES 256 has never been publicly confirmed to be cracked, and the documents are all published openly.

Also there are many other encryption types such as PGP that are public and out there on the net and have never been confirmed to be breakable. If these were breakable then why would the government be working so hard to force citizens to reveal their passwords in crime/drugs/porn cases across the country. The answer is simple. The FBI cannot crack these encryption technologies.

I won't speak for the NSA, those guys are in a league of their own but one can assume even if the gov could crack PGP or AES 256 that was properly and securely done then it would be via brute force and only used in the most dire of circumstances. Cracking a 1KB packet text message is a totally different thing from cracking a 256 GB hard drive.

Are you familiar with PBS Frontline's "Secret America" - wow, watch this! It is also on Netflix.

Very true. This is the saddest pool of candidates I have ever seen.

I disagree. Cruz, Fiorina, Paul, Carson, hell even Rubio would all be a VAST improvement over the status quo, not to mention the catastrophe of a Nixon, I mean Hillary administration.

 

[Slowgoat]

Very true. This is the saddest pool of candidates I have ever seen.

^^^Pretty much sums up the last 15 years of elections for me nicely!
