PGP Home. ‘Nuff said? Maybe not. There’s a new company in town, and it has bought Pretty Good Privacy from NAI. So it seems that PGP itself remains a viable encryption system – though frankly, that was more or less true independent of this announcement via the GPG initiative among others.

has written a nice up-to-the-moment summary of wireless local network security issues. The basic conclusion: there are security issues all over the pace, but there is no simple way to give yourself a truly secure net at this time.

I came to a blog by Brian St. Pierre, who, in a piece called Hacking the Law, suggests that as many or most of us on the Internet are also copyright owners, the Berman Coble bill could be taken advantage of by all of us. Dave Winer picks up the thread in Scripting News today: “I wonder if anyone at the RIAA has a copy of Scripting News on their hard drive? Hmmm. If the law passes, I could write a virus to find out. Of course it would have to look at all their computers to be sure we didn’t miss any.”

in commondreams.org from yesterday’s LA Times: Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft’s Hellish Vision by Jonathan Turley. “The proposed camp plan should trigger immediate congressional hearings and reconsideration of Ashcroft’s fitness for this important office. Whereas Al Qaeda is a threat to the lives of our citizens, Ashcroft has become a clear and present threat to our liberties.” It’s alternatively sad, confusing, and outrageous that Ashcroft isn’t a totally marginal character well outside the mainstream of American political life.
