A
few simple definitions on privacy and cryptography
 Sweden
passes sweeping law to allow monitoring of any communication passing its
borders, without need of suspicion of crime, and without informing monitored
individuals.
Text of
the agreement between USA and Sweden "on cooperation in science and technology
for homeland security matters" (interesting choice of words, isn't it?)
- This seems to be the principal reason behind the above law.
Privacy in stored data
- How safe and private is data stored on a hard disk? When is it really
erased from a hard disk?
My position on privacy and cryptography -
Personal reflections on the usefulness of and need for privacy in the
context of Internet and personal computers.
Thought
exercise: destroying a hard disk
- You may wish to permanently destroy the
information contained on a hard disk that is no longer need. How would you do
it in practice?
Thought
exercise: destroying a memory card
- Memory cards often contain
personal information. How do you permanently destroy this
information with practical methods and no need of special equipment or software?
